Devil's urine. That's what Dupont employees called PFAS. These toxic, human made forever chemicals are now in the blood of almost every human on the planet. They are found in drinking water around the world, even Antarctica. And they are used in a broad range of consumer products, like non-stick cookware, stain-resistant clothing, waterproof items, dental floss, and even medical masks. These are only a few examples of many. This group of toxic chemicals, perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), permanently concentrates in your body and the environment. You can't get rid of them. In fact, they bioaccumulate, meaning they get worse and worse. The public awareness from uncovering of the truth behind Dupont's misdeeds now contaminating much of the planet is tantamount to this generation's Silent Spring. Our guest Rob Bilott, is very much a Rachel Carson sort of figure who has stood up to the chemical industry as the lead attorney to bring light to the dangers of PFAS and its many variations. He fought and won a 20+ year battle against Dupont for the poisoning of over 70,000 people in West Virginia and Ohio. His work was even captured in the 2019 feature film, Dark Waters where he was portrayed by Mark Ruffalo. Rob has continued his groundbreaking work and is looking at the potential of a nationwide class action lawsuit as newer versions of PFAS emerge, unregulated and as dangerous as ever. In this interview from Summer 2022, we explore the history of PFAS, what exposure means, where it can be found, and what we can do. We also give an update from the actions of Trump's EPA to nbroaden use and exposure of these chemicals. More Info on the PFAS Presidency from Common Dreams: https://www.commondreams.org/news/pfas-pesticides-approval-epa Rob Bilott is a partner in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky offices of the law firm, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP [https://www.taftlaw.com/people/robert-a-bilott], where he has practiced in the Environmental and Litigation Groups for over 31 years. During that time, Rob has handled and led some of the most novel and complex cases in the country involving damage from exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (“PFAS”), including the first individual, class action, mass tort, and multi-district litigation proceedings concerning the toxic chemical, recovering over $1 billion for impacted clients.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain the biology and psychology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and describe the neural circuitry behind repetitive "thought-action loops," including why compulsive actions actually strengthen the underlying obsessions rather than relieve them. I discuss the most effective treatments for OCD, including exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRIs, and explain what the research shows about how these compare when used alone versus together. Finally, I describe a specific clinical protocol in which patients are guided into states of anxiety while learning to suppress compulsive responses, retraining the brain to break the OCD cycle.

George Black, guest author, describes how, in the late 1990s, the Canadian organization Hatfield Associates collaborated with the Vietnamese 1080 Committee to conduct a comprehensive study of dioxin contamination. They chose the A Shau Valley as a study site because its lack of industrialization proved that any dioxin found must have originated from Agent Orange. The study revealed that while dioxin had degraded in most soil, it remained highly concentrated in hotspots around old US military bases where chemicals were stored or leaked. These hotspots, such as the airbases at Da Nang and Bien Hoa, allowed dioxin to enter the food chain through fish and ducks. Most tragically, the study mapped how dioxin was passed from mothers to infants through breast milk. These findings made the truth of the contamination impossible to evade, though it still took several years for the first US aid to arrive. Additionally, Susan Hammond began investigating the "deep secret" of herbicide use in Laos, mapping patterns of disability in villages along former flight paths. Her work eventually led to the first-ever humanitarian aid program for Lao victims of Agent Orange in 2023. The Long Reckoning (7)

Stem cell clinics around the world are charging anywhere from $3,000 to $50,000 for a single IV treatment, and the price tag tells you almost nothing about whether it actually works.Dr. Joy Kong, a triple board-certified physician and founder of Chara Health and the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, breaks down the regulatory and clinical reality behind IV stem cell therapy. She covers FDA homologous-use rules, the narrow scope of current FDA approval for pediatric graft-versus-host disease, and why most clinical use is legal off-label practice. She explains the difference between mesenchymal stem cells and other cell lineages, why dead or non-viable cells can still deliver benefits through exosomes and growth factors, and the contamination risks tied to improper handling, including a real FDA recall linked to E. coli infections. She also outlines documented rejuvenation effects in patients, including improvements in hair, skin, energy, and libido, and a notable animal study in which stem cell treatment reversed aging markers in brain and muscle tissue.Known in the field as the Stem Cell Queen, she also tackles the questions patients are afraid to ask: why doctors are often skeptical even when evidence exists, what separates a budget clinic from a fully regulated one, and how price actually correlates, or doesn't, with safety.If you've ever wondered whether stem cell therapy is worth the cost, or whether your doctor's hesitation is really about the science, this episode lays out exactly where the evidence stands today.Dr. Joy talks about:01:49 Stem cell therapy's shift to mainstream longevity medicine02:29 The longevity boom and today's biohacking tools03:46 The different types of stem cells and what they do05:03 What's FDA approved in stem cell therapy06:58 Why doctors dismiss the stem cell evidence07:49 Anti-inflammatory effects of IV mesenchymal stem cells08:49 Reversed aging in animal studies13:04 The real cost of IV stem cell therapy13:56 Contamination, dead cells, and rejection risks21:37 Why IV delivery powers the immune systemAdditional Resources:✨ Check out my stem cell skincare line, CharaOmni: https://www.charaomni.com/Visit My Clinic: Chara Health

Hidden in your water, food, and even your blood, forever chemicals (PFAS) are nearly impossible to destroy - and now U.S. regulations are being rolled back. Listen in to how PFAS became unavoidable, what they're doing to our health, and whether we can ever truly get rid of them.   In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Carrie McDonough discuss perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as forever chemicals. PFAS, which include PFOA and PFOS, are persistent organic pollutants used in various products, such as Teflon for your cooking pans and Scotchgard. While there are natural molecules that incorporate fluorine, the compounds we are most concerned about when we talk about PFAS cannot be synthesized naturally and are difficult to break down. Dr. McDonough discusses exposure risks, how we are exposed, and the efforts that have been made to regulate these chemicals. She emphasizes the need for better detection methods and remediation strategies.     Key Takeaways: While some PFAS are excreted from the human body, many are not and linger in our blood and cells. A lot of pollutants accumulate in the adipose fat in the human body. However, PFAS are mostly found in proteins and membranes, such as the kidney, liver, and blood.  The first clue that PFAS were widespread in humans was back in the 1970s. However, the results were inconclusive - they just didn't have the instrumentation they needed to confirm it or the standards from the companies in order to identify the PFAS. Biomagnification causes creatures, including humans, that are higher up the food chain to have higher concentrations of PFAS than those lower in the food chain. This includes those who are herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores.  Companies have been putting these things out into our environment for decades; for some amount of that time, they knew that they were doing it and that they were toxic, but didn't tell anyone. There is really no way to protect anyone from these chemicals that we did not consent to being in our bodies.    "If you're not living in an area with highly contaminated water, or some kind of large contamination issue, your main source of PFAS is probably your diet." —  Dr. Carrie McDonough   Episode References:  Toxic Gaslighting: How 3M Executives Convinced a Scientist the Forever Chemicals She Found in Human Blood Were Safe: https://www.propublica.org/article/3m-forever-chemicals-pfas-pfos-inside-story  PFAS leave fingerprints in your blood – researchers are figuring out how forever chemicals transform in your body to read these clues: https://theconversation.com/pfas-leave-fingerprints-in-your-blood-researchers-are-figuring-out-how-forever-chemicals-transform-in-your-body-to-read-these-clues-280396 Dark Waters: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9071322/  They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals by Mariah Blake: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/554198/they-poisoned-the-world-by-mariah-blake/    Connect with Dr. Carrie McDonough: Professional Bio: https://www.cmu.edu/chemistry/people/faculty/mcdonough.html  Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Xq5HrPYAAAAJ&hl=en  Website: https://groups.chem.cmu.edu/mcdonough/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carrieamcd    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode Phil Vella, founder of Vita Bella, returns to break down the wild west of the gray market peptide industry. He shares new data showing 70 percent of research peptides now fail purity and contamination testing, why so many random people are running peptide side hustles out of their garages, and the real risks of injection site infections and improperly dosed products. They cover why hormone optimization should always come before peptides, the most popular peptides Vita Bella prescribes, the science behind PDE5 inhibitors for both performance and longevity, and the regulatory battle between big pharma and compounding pharmacies over GLP medications. Phil also opens up about a brutal stretch of his life that included losing his father, a double spinal fusion injury, and nine people from his childhood neighborhood dying by suicide within about a year, and how that period reshaped his understanding of money, purpose, and fatherhood.

Send us Fan MailSHOW NOTES:Keeping It Kleen Series – Part 2: The True Costs of ContaminationMost shop owners know paint contamination costs money.What many don't realize is just how much.In this return episode of the Mind Wrench Podcast's Keeping It Kleen series, we're taking a hard look at the true financial impact of paint contamination, dirt nibs, fisheyes, and paint rework. While many shops view an occasional redo as "part of the business," the numbers tell a very different story.Drawing from decades of experience in the paint industry, along with research and real-world shop examples, I reveal the never-before seen, hidden costs that contamination creates every day. We explore how the industry has evolved from lacquer and enamel finishes to today's highly refined basecoat-clearcoat systems, and why customer expectations have never been higher.More importantly, we quantify where the money is really being lost. From wasted paint and materials to increased gas and electrical usage, lost production opportunities, and even reduced technician earnings, the costs add up faster than most shop owners realize. In fact, using conservative assumptions, just a couple of paint redos per month can cost a shop well over $120,000 per year.The biggest surprise? It's not the paint materials. It's the lost booth cycles and production capacity that quietly drain profitability month after month.If you're serious about reducing waste, improving efficiency, and increasing profits, this episode will change the way you look at paint contamination forever.Key Takeaways:

Microbial contamination is quietly costing cannabis cultivators up to 15–20% of their harvest, but new technology is changing that. In Episode 219, Arthur D. Cordova, CEO of Zeal, explains how radio frequency decontamination uses the plant's natural moisture to eliminate mold and pathogens without damaging product quality. Drawing from decades in food safety, Cordova breaks down how this “pasteurization for cannabis” is gaining traction in Europe and among Canadian exporters, and why growers are shifting from stigma to safety-first solutions.WEBSITE: https://cannatechtoday.com/Make sure to follow our other social media platforms to stay up-to-date on all things Cannabis & Tech Today.https://twitter.com/cannatechtodayhttps://www.facebook.com/CannaTechTodayhttps://www.instagram.com/cannatechtoday

Send us Fan MailShow Notes:Keeping It Kleen Series – Part 1: Root Sources of ContaminationHow much money is paint contamination really costing your shop?Most shop owners and leaders know dirt nibs and fisheyes are frustrating, but very few realize just how much these seemingly small defects are costing them in lost productivity, wasted materials, missed delivery dates, rental extensions, and unnecessary rework. Across the collision industry, paint contamination is creating millions of dollars in avoidable expenses every year.In this first episode of the Mind Wrench Podcast's "Keeping It Kleen" series, we take a deep dive into the root causes of contamination and reveal a simple framework that can help any shop identify where their problems are really coming from. The reality is that virtually every contamination issue can be traced back to one of three sources: the booth, the vehicle, or the painter.We'll discuss why your paint booth should be viewed as the cash register of your business, how poor maintenance and airflow issues create defects, and why common shortcuts in vehicle preparation can come back to haunt you in the spray booth. We also cover painter-related causes, including PPE, spray gun maintenance, tack rag techniques, and contamination prevention habits that can dramatically improve first-time quality.If you're tired of redos, frustrated with inconsistent paint results, or simply looking for ways to improve profitability, this episode delivers practical, real-world solutions you can start implementing immediately.Key Takeaways:

Contamination OCD is often much more complex than many parents realize. It is not always about germs, handwashing, or obvious fears of illness. For many kids, contamination OCD can center around chemicals, certain people, objects, or even an intense feeling of disgust rather than fear.In this episode, Natasha breaks down the subtle ways contamination OCD can be missed, misunderstood, or accidentally reinforced. Parents often focus on visible avoidance without recognizing the true “ground zero” of contamination, the original trigger or core fear driving the OCD cycle. Understanding that core fear or disgust response is essential for effective support.Parents will also learn why appeasing OCD or rationalizing with it can unintentionally strengthen the cycle.If your child struggles with contamination fears, disgust triggers, or confusing avoidance behaviors, this episode will help you better understand what may really be happening and how to respond more effectively.Resources Talked About in Episode:OCD Treatment:NOCD virtual OCD TherapyIOCDF Provider Directory Videos on Contamination OCD: How to Handle Contamination OCD Trying to Beat Contamination OCD?

Some residents of the Boxtown neighborhood in Memphis, Tennessee, didn't know Elon Musk was building a huge data center nearby until they saw city and Chamber of Commerce officials hyping the deal. A historic Black neighborhood founded by freedmen after the Civil War, Boxtown is one recent example of an old pattern: corporations siting polluting, noisy facilities in Black or poor neighborhoods, which the corporations see as less likely to mount a resistance to their plans. We chronicle this history, finding useful context in the decades-long fight against trash incinerators. We also learn what Memphis is doing to fight back, from citizen journalism to liberation science. Guest voices + context:  Dr. Sacoby Wilson: Director of The Health, Environmental, and Economic Justice Lab, and Professor in Global, Environmental and Occupational Health. Focuses on environmental health science, including water quality analysis and air pollution studies, and works closely with community-based organizations, such as those in Memphis.

Microbes are everywhere. Their ability to adapt to environmental conditions means they can survive on surfaces and enter the food manufacturing chain where they continue to multiply. This presents a daunting uphill battle for food manufactures to maintain hygiene and prevent contamination. Of the more than 200 pathogenic organisms that cause foodborne illness, Listeria monocytogenes is among the most concerning for public health.  The team of Dr. Aliyar Cyrus Fouladkhah, Associate Professor at Tennessee State University, has pioneered validation studies offering invaluable insights into how high-pressure techniques can be adapted to decontaminate food such as ready-to-eat products. In doing so their work is and will be instrumental in making the food we eat safe and improving public health in the USA and worldwide.  Read the original article: https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms12091858

People living next to a building site in Medway say their lives have been made a misery by dust. The first phase of the Capstone Oaks development off North Dane Way in Lordswood will have 91 homes, but neighbours in Hampshire Close and Barleymow Close have complained. Hear from one of them who says construction noise is also an issue. We've also got a response from developers. Also in today's podcast, the Dartford MP has told us that lessons need to be learnt - after a major water supply issue at a Kent hospital. Patients and staff have been told not to drink or wash in water from taps in a large part of Darent Valley. The air ambulance charity covering Kent has raised serious concerns about the impact of the Iran war on the cost of fuel for their helicopters. Bosses say aviation fuel has risen by 63% since the start of the conflict which means the organisation is having to find an extra £25,000 a month to fly life-saving missions. Three lions have arrived at an animal park in Kent as part of a vital breeding programme. There are currently less than 600 Asiatic lions left in the world and Theo, Rakesh and Thor are settling into life at Wingham Wildlife Park. MD Tony Binskin has been chatting to us. And, the line up for this year's Pride event in Canterbury has been confirmed. It's celebrating its 10th anniversary and will return to the city's Dane John Gardens after they underwent a renovation.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-30-2026:>/p> Dr. Dawn opens with a bike safety public service message, noting a 34% increase in bicycle use in Santa Cruz alongside rising e-bike accidents. She urges drivers to stay vigilant and calls for education and enforcement of helmet laws, particularly for riders under 18. A University of Michigan researcher discovered that standard nitrile, latex, and vinyl gloves shed stearate particles indistinguishable from polyethylene under spectroscopy, contaminating microplastics research with approximately 2,000 false positives per square millimeter. Only clean-room gloves avoided this problem, throwing years of microplastics studies into question. Dr. Dawn explains skin's three-layer structure and the stratum corneum's ceramide-based moisture barrier. She warns against stripping natural oils with astringents and hot showers, notes that UV disrupts proteins holding skin cells together, and cites a 2019 study showing moisturing treatment reduced circulating inflammatory cytokines in older adults. Making music coordinates sound, vision, motor control, and imagination across the brain. Studies show musicians have more gray matter, better executive function, sharper memory, and even reduced pain sensitivity. A 2010 paper found musicians who began before age seven have a larger corpus callosum, and a 2024 study showed pianists had better working memory while woodwind players did best at executive function. Stanford researcher Pascal Geldsetzer analyzed populations in Australia, New Zealand, Wales, and Ontario, finding the Shingrix vaccine reduces dementia risk by up to 20%. Dr. Dawn hypothesizes that even "dormant" varicella triggers low-level inflammation affecting brain microglia, and recommends spacing Shingrix three months apart from the second dose rather than one month to avoid side effects. A Nature study of 175 people watching movies found that observing someone being touched activates the same brain regions as being touched yourself—your brain experiences sensations in corresponding body parts. This vision-touch link could enable less invasive sensory testing for autistic individuals. Princeton and Flatiron Institute researchers identified four distinct autism phenotypes: broadly affected (10%), mixed with developmental delay (19%), moderate challenges (33%), and social/behavioral (37%). A second Nature study confirmed genetically distinct forms unfold on different timelines, with post-age-six diagnoses showing different genetic profiles than early childhood cases.

The Associate Education Minister's defending the school lunches programme despite dozens of early safety complaints. There were 21 food safety probes into the lunches from May 2024 to mid-November 2025. Some investigations came after reports of metal wire, fragments, or glass were discovered in food. David Seymour told Mike Hosking it's 21 lunches out of around 13 million. He says the issues are from when Government overtook Labour's scheme or the first term of their new scheme, which faced some teething issues.

Ever since the revised Annex 1 was published, drug makers have been navigating a broader transformation of sterile manufacturing that extends beyond compliance. Contamination control, in turn, is becoming a more proactive, data-driven, and highly collaborative model, one that emphasizes continuous improvement, global alignment, and deeper integration across the supply chain. While the regulation itself builds on decades of precedent, its latest iteration is accelerating expectations around risk management, documentation, and end-to-end control strategies. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Haley Johnson, senior manager of product management, and Bill Matakas, vice president of business transformation at West Pharmaceutical Services, about how Annex 1 is reshaping sterile manufacturing operations and supplier relationships. The conversation explores the industry's shift from reactive remediation to proactive risk prevention, the growing importance of contamination control strategies as living systems, and how inspectors are increasingly focused on measurable, year-over-year improvement.

In the first 24 hours since the U.S. and Iran reached a ceasefire agreement, an oil refinery in Iran was hit, five Gulf Arab states reported attacks from Iranian drones and missiles and Israeli airstrikes killed more than 250 people in Lebanon. After failed peace negotiations this weekend, the war is showing no signs of slowing down, with the U.S. military beginning a blockade of all Iranian ports and coastal areas.Russel Honoré is a retired lieutenant general of the U.S. Army, most well known for leading the military relief effort during Hurricane Katrina. He joins us for more on the costs of war in the Middle East.Earlier this year, an investigation by Verite News found pervasive lead contamination in multiple New Orleans playgrounds. Now, city officials are trying to do something about it. Halle Parker has been the lead investigator on this story. She joins us with the latest. One of the nation's longest-running free blues festivals returns this weekend to downtown Baton Rouge.

This is a replay from Season 1. A single line from Cy Twombly cracks open a huge question for artists: “One must desire the ultimate essence even if it is contaminated.” We sit with that tension between purity and grit and ask what “essence” really means in abstract expressionism, mark making, and the real studio process where rust, dust, scraps, and revisions refuse to stay out of the frame.From there, we trace why Twombly still feels so magnetic and so misunderstood. He left few interviews and little public persona, which forces viewers to do the work themselves. We talk through Joshua Rivkin's Here We Go Chalk and the image that won't let go: the unswept floor. What's more contaminated than what falls, gets cast aside, and ends up as leftovers? Rivkin treats that debris like a mosaic, and it becomes a clean way to see how Twombly gathers fragments of history, poetry, the body, and the mind, then buries and reveals them through layers.We also get practical about how art communicates. What does it mean for a painting to “claim the room it inhabits” when the artist is not there to explain it? How much context should titles and statements provide, and when does mystery make the work stronger? If you've ever stood in a museum and felt pulled into a surface like an archaeologist, this one puts language to that experience and gives you a better way to look.If this sparks a reaction, share the episode with an artist friend, subscribe so you do not miss the next conversation, and leave a review to help more people find the show.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!

Most of them went silent. Fish oil is one of the most well-researched supplements on the market — but there's a side of the industry that never makes it onto the label. Fish oil oxidizes easily, bioaccumulates heavy metals, and can carry persistent organic pollutants like PCBs and dioxins. When the oil is rancid or contaminated, you're not just wasting money. You may be actively promoting the inflammation you're trying to fight. Dr. Christian Gonzalez contacted 44 fish oil brands and asked for one thing: independent third-party testing on the finished product. Real documentation. Proof. 37 companies ignored the request entirely. One refused. One opted out. Only five brands provided full transparency — and some of the biggest names in the category were nowhere to be found. In this episode, Dr. G covers:  • How oxidation turns your fish oil from anti-inflammatory to pro-inflammatory  • The heavy metals and contaminants you should always be testing for  • Why potency on the label frequently doesn't match what's in the capsule  • The five fish oil companies that earned a spot on the 2026 transparency list If you take fish oil daily, this episode will completely change how you shop for it.
