Subscribe to NutritionFacts.org's free e-newsletter and receive a recipe from Dr. Greger's brand-new cookbook, The How Not to Diet Cookbook: https://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/ DESCRIPTION: The levels of arsenic, banned pesticides, and dioxins exceeded cancer benchmarks in each of the 364 children tested. Which foods were the primary sources of toxic pollutants for preschoolers and their parents? These findings should come as no surprise to those who saw my video Pollutants in California Breast Tissue (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pollutants-in-californian-breast-tissue/). For an overview see CDC Report on Environmental Chemical Exposure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cdc-report-on-environmental-chemical-exposure/) and President's Cancer Panel Report on Environmental Risk (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/presidents-cancer-panel-report-on-environmental-risk/). Pollutant exposure may affect the ability to have children in the first place (Male Fertility and Diet, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/male-fertility-and-diet/ and Meat Hormones & Female Infertility, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/meat-hormones-female-infertility/). Such a delay, though, may allow one an opportunity to reduce one's toxic burden through dietary change (Hair Testing for Mercury Before Considering Pregnancy, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hair-testing-for-mercury-before-considering-pregnancy/ and How Long to Detox From Fish Before Pregnancy?, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-long-to-detox-from-fish-before-pregnancy/) During pregnancy, pollutants can be transferred directly (DDT in Umbilical Cord Blood, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/ddt-in-umbilical-cord-blood/), and after pregnancy through breastfeeding (The Wrong Way to Detox, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-wrong-way-to-detox/). Once our kids are contaminated, How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fast-can-children-detoxify-from-pcbs/). The chemicals have implications for older children too: Protein, Puberty, and Pollutants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-puberty-and-pollutants/). I touch more on the presence of pesticides and other pollutants in dairy products in my video Preventing Parkinson's Disease With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-parkinsons-disease-with-diet/). Seafood is not the only source of toxic heavy metals. See: • Get the Lead Out (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/get-the-lead-out/) • Filled Full of Lead (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/filled-full-of-lead/) • Heavy Metals In Protein Powder Supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heavy-metals-in-protein-powder-supplements/) • Some Ayurvedic Medicine Worse Than Lead Paint Exposure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-ayurvedic-medicine-worse-than-lead-paint-exposure/) Videos on primary food sources of other industrial pollutants include: • Food Sources of PCB Chemical Pollutants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-pcb-chemical-pollutants/) • Food Sources of Flame Retardant Chemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-flame-retardant-chemicals/) • Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/) There are some things we can eat, though, to counteract some of the toxins: • Plants vs. Pesticides (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plants-vs-pesticides/) • Eating Green to Prevent Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-green-to-prevent-cancer/) • Counteracting the Effects of Dioxins Through Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/counteracting-the-effects-of-dioxins-through-diet/) Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video?
