    Amazing video! I have been teaching my infant development students about this for years and it's such a huge issue that it is hard to wrap it all up into a clear message that is not too depressing (students are already so stressed and anxious!). I love your calm voice and clear manner of presenting this. Thank you for all your work at EWG!

      As a Zen Buddhist of 50 years practice I can assure you that you are clueless. It is not cool to repeat lies about the honest labors of our hard working farmers and crop scientists. Bad karma.

    Thanks so much for sharing this.
    I love the tone of your voice.
    beautiful and relaxing.
    I drink all the time my water in a plastic bottle when I make exercises it's hard carrying a glass 1 liter bottle.
    also all our kitchen pans are nonstick. since is easier to clean and eggs or fish doesn't stick.
    It's hard change our lives style but Not impossible.
    everything in this days is " Plastic "
    very helpful your video thanks a lot.

    question: how do you avoid plastic containters when literally every thing sold in the grocery store is packed inside plastic containers

    • @SoZen08
      @SoZen08 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      One thing you can do is to at least not heat it up in the microwave. When plastic gets hot, it releases even more chemicals. It's superhard to avoid plastic. It's even in the lining of cans! (like soup cans) but some things are sold in glass. Or you can put it in a glass container to heat it up. (I learned this from EWG, too).

    Love the education you provide, but a lot of the tips and tricks you offer aren't necessarily easily avoidable for the most vulnerable populations exposed. Avoid plastic wrap and canned goods? These are cheaper alternatives with longer shelf lives. Is frozen better? If so, I hope the costs is comparable. But, opting for stainless steel or cast iron cookware may not be such an easy fix for so many people out there who can't necessarily afford the luxury of uses fancy, safer cookware. Why is it that healthier alternatives are more expensive?! It boggles my mind.

      its nearly impossible today to avoid everything mentioned, how does one buy clothing you describe, no really where would you get it? its really hard to cook with cast iron, (cleaning maintenance etc) and so many foods are canned - what if your e a prepper for example? it settles into our dust??? I mean seriously even if you avoid cans BPS plastics, nonstick coating, clothing (LOL) you still get it in the dust? Why dont we hold manufacturers accountable instead? BEcause these suggestions are pretty much close to impossible

      You are nuts. I bought a 12” cast iron skillet 10 years ago for $12. Now it’s $20-$25. Not a luxury. You can find them in thrift shops for $5. They last generations.

    "The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has concluded that the world’s most used pesticide, glyphosate, does not have endocrine disrupting properties.
    The food safety body’s assessment, published on 7 September, found there is no evidence that glyphosate is having a harmful effect on human hormone systems.
    EFSA was requested by the European Commission in 2016 to consider information on potential endocrine activity of the pesticide.
    The report said: “The current assessment concluded that the weight of evidence indicates that glyphosate does not have endocrine disrupting properties through oestrogen, androgen, thyroid or steroidogenesis mode of action based on a comprehensive database available in the toxicology area.”
    The result is also in line with the US Environment Protection Agency, who reached the same conclusion in June 2015."

      I guess that is why glyphosate is now banned in Europe. BTW, I have a glass of fracking water for you to drink Popeye so I can know for sure it's safe like the energy companies claim.
