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.
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.

Not trying to troll, thank you for the PSA but for most of us, this just isnt feasible. Im technically, middle class American (just by the skin of my teeth, thanks fluoride!!) and then I think of my friends living in developing nations, and third world and I feel privileged.
"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.
@@lazzyfare4721 since his comment is flat out misleading, i'm betting popeye is chemical/big ag industry lobbyist or insider willing to trade personal profit at the expense of killing people.
HOWEVER Popeye - there is strong statistical evidence that glyphosate causes autoimmune diseases, cancer, and more.... Check out Dr. Zach Bush or Dr. Stephanie Seneff for more details :)

very helpful your video thanks a lot.
Would you guys do a video on air “fresheners”? These chemicals sold to consumers to “freshen” the air in the home. Thanks

What’s missing here is what type of foods we consume that impacts our metabolism????
none, metabolism is set by height and weight.
the whole fucking thing is missing
Thank you
question: how do you avoid plastic containters when literally every thing sold in the grocery store is packed inside plastic containers
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).
avoid grocery stores--that's how
like the point I made above...
Whole Foods. A-Market. Fancy grocery stores.

Even tap water isn't safe anymore 😞
Nicely done! Thanks so much!
You didn’t mention the must important thing. You are eating endocrine disruptors when we do not eat organic food.
Amazing!
Alex Jones was right again! 😂
what can we do? I eat fast food almost everyday because it’s super convenient for me and it’s so tasty 😟
What can we do? Well. Nothing *video ends*
sooo we're all gona die?
Love our shower filters and our great tap water filters!
You don't need them. Waste of money and resources.
I’m in US and I’m observing 20 years old women are getting pregnant and smoking bad stuffs.
Where is the proof? Videos of your scientists testing water. The testing process, etc.
Anyone here after dealing with thyroid diseases?

Cast iron skillet is entirely within the reach of middle class America. $20 that lasts generations.
Nothing like fearmongering.
And...autoimmune diseases.
No. No proof whatsoever has been provided by any unbiased peer reviewed science studies about your claim.

Who are You--why are you kidding --or who you think you are misleading with glyphosate not being harmful.
