It's in plastic.

What’s in Your Home Air, Water & Products? The Changes Worth Making to Lower Your Toxic Burden with Allison Evans

You can't worry about that stuff.

Dhru Purohit Show
What’s in Your Home Air, Water & Products? The Changes Worth Making to Lower Your Toxic Burden with Allison Evans

What I always tell people is just focus on the things that you can actually fix and know that...

Plastic is everywhere, but it is not persistent.

Dhru Purohit Show
What’s in Your Home Air, Water & Products? The Changes Worth Making to Lower Your Toxic Burden with Allison Evans

It is not a PFAS.

Dhru Purohit Show

Dhru Purohit Show
What’s in Your Home Air, Water & Products? The Changes Worth Making to Lower Your Toxic Burden with Allison Evans

So that's what I always tell people.

Just start with your kitchen.

Dhru Purohit Show

Start with the things that your food touches.

Dhru Purohit Show
