A short YouTube segment in which Robert Whitfield MD discusses common environmental toxins — mycotoxins from mold, heavy metals, chemicals in consumer products (e.g., parabens, phthalates), and pesticides like glyphosate — and gives practical exposure-reduction advice such as checking products (Environmental Working Group), avoiding plastic water bottles, washing food, and choosing organic when possible.
So the tox test that we use looks at mycotoxins, which are toxins from mold, looks at heavy metals, which there's a lot of heavy metals in, like, groundwater and devices. There's environmental toxins, like we're talking about before the show, and things that in products, women, I think, get exposed to, on average, 100 different toxins daily by the products they use for skin care or whatever, shampoo, everything. Yes. So you should be, you know, trying to put your things through the environmental working group to see and make sure that you don't have parabens in your products. Please don't drink out of plastic water bottles because they have phthalates. You gotta wash your food. You know, everything is organic now. It magically. All food became organic just a few years ago. Quickly. Yeah, everybody's got that now. So glyphosates are the herbicide, pesticide that you find on foods. So the dirty dyes and the fruits, like strawberries, blueberries, and all the berries. So you just got to be very mindful of these things.
