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.

And I think that we're so far out of balance that at this point, too many kids are getting sick because they're exposed to too many chemicals and toxins. And we just keep saying, oh, it's safe. The company said it was safe. Oh, under this level, it's safe. What about lead? Look back in history at lead and this level was safe. And then this level is safe.

Oh yeah, actually no, no level of lead is safe. You know, and I think that's going to be true of most chemicals over time. Not to say that if you ever touch something with BPA, you should be terrified, but it's probably not good for you.

The thing that I always say to prioritize is just starting to read labels. If you haven't even done that, that's where I start. And then sugar is probably one of the first ones. Certainly added sugar is one of the things that I would look at first. Dyes and chemicals in children's food. We have a ton of research at this point on the harmful effects.

So there's no real reason that should even be in kids' foods anymore. It's not in some countries. And I think that we should also prioritize organic wherever we can. There's so much glyphosate everywhere, so many pesticides. And I think that we have, again, great evidence that that can cause cancer and all sorts of gut issues. So you're going to pick two or three.

I think those are a reasonable place to start, but there are just so many. And then plastic. I think not cooking in plastic, not using plastic as much as you can. We get so much uh so much exposure to bpa and phthalates i think we know that those are quite bad for us at this point too so wherever you can minimize using that i would put that on the top couple as well
