Episode notes

When faced with the choice between soft plastic containers with plasticizers or Teflon pans with fluorine-based chemicals, the speaker recommends avoiding both options. However, if forced to choose, opting for soft plastic might be slightly better due to easier removal of chemicals from the body. To facilitate detoxification and elimination of toxins like environmental estrogens and plastics, increasing levels of glucorate through supplements like calcium de-glucorate is crucial.

In this episode, environmental journalist and seasoned activist David Steinman, with over 30 years of experience fighting against chemical toxins, shares his expertise on the impact of these harmful substances in our food supply. He highlights the serious health risks they pose, particularly to pregnant women and children, and offers practical tips on how to shield oneself and future generations from these dangers. Steinman delves into the benefits of organic foods, the effectiveness of water filtration, and the impact of making informed consumer choices.

Through insights from his latest book, "Raising Healthy Kids," he equips listeners with the necessary tools to reduce toxin exposure and advocate for a healthier lifestyle. Tune in to gain valuable knowledge on how to safeguard your health and the environment from chemical toxins.
