131. Why we can't trust ingredients that are "generally recognized as safe"
About this episode
In this episode, we discuss the FDA's approval process and the loopholes that allow potentially harmful ingredients to be included in the food we eat and the cosmetics we use.
I share the story of a popular food brand that had to recall a product due to severe health issues caused by one ingredient. One that was "FDA approved."
Join me as we talk about small ways we can be vigilant about the food we consume.
