I think we're getting to the point where it's too much for too many people. And that's why we're seeing all this chronic disease.
Right. Well, I mean, you're talking about reality. I think that science doesn't want to talk about, right? Like this is the real world. And first of all, Why in the world do we trust a company to tell us that something is safe versus not safe? Of course, they're going to paint their chemical, their product in the best light. They're going to say it's

They're going to say it's
supremely effective and there are minimal risks and they're going to do whatever they can to finagle the research to show that it's up to us to kind of push back. But it is really hard to do that when you talk about reality, when you talk about mixing all these chemicals together and how they affect us. That's a very difficult thing to do, because if you

If you consume a pill today and you get cancer 30 years from now, it's not so easy to kind of pinpoint those two things together. If you take a pill today and you have a heart attack tomorrow, then sometimes people can figure that out. But what we're seeing more and more are these chronic diseases, these things that are building up over time.

I think you have to step back and you almost have to take a common sense approach to it by looking at what's going on, looking at the statistics, looking at history of these chemicals where we, we say it's safe. We say it's safe until it's not safe until the company gets sued for 20 years.

And we finally figure out, oh, they actually knew a lot about the lack of safety on, you know, glyphosate or whatever, whatever chemical it is that, that year or that, that time. And then we go back and go, oh, this is really unsafe. It's causing cancer. That's probably true of a lot of these chemicals if you get enough of them. And it's not to fearmonger. It's not to scare people.

It's just the reality of the world. And so the best practice in my mind is to assume that most of these chemicals and toxins are not good for you. In 20, 30, 50 years, we're going to figure out that we shouldn't have them around. And so just try to minimize them as much as we can. It doesn't mean that you can never be exposed to some BPA, you're gonna be.

It doesn't mean that you shouldn't breathe the air, like there's gonna be stuff in the air, there's gonna be stuff in your water, but you can take some proactive steps to minimize your exposure to toxins wherever you can, especially in your home where you spend so much of your time. And I think that for most people, that's enough. That's going to keep kids healthy.
