When they test Americans, 90 plus percent of us have BPA, PFAS, phthalates, it's everywhere. And so not to make your listeners depressed, I think it's a really urgent issue that we need to raise and people need to know what they can do to minimize their exposure. not to zero, just minimize.

Absolutely. I'll give you an example. So Harvard did a study. They looked at people who consumed just a serving, so 12 ounces of canned soup every single day for five days. They measured the BPA in the urine. just doing that over five days increased the BPA by 1200%.

But if you then stop eating the soup for two days, the levels fell to almost nothing. So what that means is you can, what you're doing can actually make a very big difference. So if you just reduced your canned soup consumption by two days, you can now bring that BPA level down.

So if you're exposed to BPA from other things that you can't avoid, now your detox organs can get rid of that instead of dealing with a 1200% increase in BPA.
