And in the winter, the air was so thick that on a sunny, bright day, you couldn't see the building across the street.
And everybody wore masks.
I breathed in all this soot.

Every day we're exposed to hundreds of chemicals in our food, our water, in the air we breathe, in the products we use in our homes, on our skin.

It affects our weight and metabolism.
It affects our brain.
It affects our immune system.

There are autogens.
