How To Eliminate Toxic Ingredients & Products From Your Life Ft. Ken Cook, President Of The EWG

Описание: Today we're sitting down with Ken Cook, president and co-founder of the Environmental Working Group. Ken is known as one of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential critics of industrial agriculture, U.S. food and farm policy and the nation’s broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic substances. Today Ken joins us for a really insightful conversation about the ingredients inside our cosmetic products and food, and how making the switch to non-toxic products doesn't have to be intimidating. He gets into the laws and lack thereof surrounding ingredient testing in the United States and gives our audience tangible tips for phasing out the toxic products that we use on a daily basis. He also dives into foods: what foods should be bought organic VS what foods are safe to eat non-organic, how to grocery shop for long term health, and what foods you should absolutely avoid.
