Episode Description:
This week, the internet exploded with one alarming headline:
“Chobani yogurt can give you cancer.”
So what’s really going on?
Dr. Christian Gonzalez breaks down the federal class action lawsuit accusing Chobani of selling yogurt contaminated with phthalates — plastic chemicals linked to hormonal disruption, lower testosterone, fertility issues, and even cancer.
But here’s what the headlines got wrong.
These chemicals aren’t ingredients. They are contaminants that leach in from the plastic equipment used throughout modern food production.
In this episode, Dr. G separates fear from fact and answers the real questions:
• What is this lawsuit actually about?
• How do phthalates end up in your yogurt?
• What does bioaccumulation mean and why does it matter for your hormones?
• Which yogurt brands actually test clean?
