#448: Even if you make your baby’s food, there’s still a risk of plastic chemicals making their way in there too. Dr. James Rogers from Consumer Reports recently tested a bunch of baby foods and formulas for plastic chemicals and the results will surprise you…even if you eat organic.
Listen to this episode to learn:
What plasticizers are and why they are disruptive to the human body’s endocrine system
How plasticizers get into our food supply…and it’s not just from food storage containers
Which baby foods tested highest for plastic chemicals and how to avoid them moving forward
