You've cleaned up what you're eating. You read ingredient labels — most of the time. But what about what you wear for hours? In Part 2 of this series, we're looking at synthetic activewear — polyester, nylon, spandex — and the chemical treatments that don't show up on the tag, including PFAS and formaldehyde-based finishes. If leggings are your everyday uniform, this conversation matters. Because when something becomes your second skin, it deserves a closer look.
What if the most overlooked health intervention isn't a supplement… a biohack… or a protocol? What if it's the structure you live inside? In this deeply personal solo episode, Darin shares the seven-year journey of rebuilding after losing everything, and why this new home isn't just a house, it's a biological experiment in sovereignty. From fire resilience and toxic-free materials to grounding floors, EMF elimination, circadian lighting, and water independence, this episode breaks down the science and intention behind designing a "Fatal Convenience–Free" home.

318: Today's taboo topic involves wiping our butts. I'm just gonna say it to get it out of the way - but it's something we all do and for many, we do it at least once a day. And if you're female, we are wiping more than just our rear ends! That's why I invited Lee Reitelman to join me in today's episode. I recently switched over to a non-toxic toilet paper and fell in love with it so I had to personally invite the CEO and founder to talk about the negative effects conventional toilet paper has on the human body. You may be listening and asking, "what's wrong with toilet paper?" - but what many fail to realize is that several on the market contain formaldehyde, bleach, PEG 40, and forever chemicals. These ingredients in toilet paper are touching our most sensitive areas regularly on the daily, causing health issues we may not realize until years later. In this interview, we talk about bidets and some personal experiences we've had with them and why they may not be for everyone, the environmental aspect of tree based toilet paper, and how toilet paper is actually made and all the steps it takes to make a roll. After this episode you'll think twice about your TP! Topics Discussed: → Formaldehyde in toilet paper → How conventional toilet paper is made → What is considered “conventional” TP? → Ingredients in conventional toilet paper → Regulations around listing ingredients in TP → Bidets - They're NOT for everyone! → Bamboo TP v Tree TP → The environmental aspect of conventional TP → Misconceptions around non-toxic TP As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

Tawinee's Actual Factuals- Ravioli, Formaldehyde and Prince by STAR 102.5/Des Moines
See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog You have all heard about smoking and the risks of lung and mouth cancer as the biggest dangers associated with it. However, since the ban on smoking indoors, many people have switched from cigarettes to other forms of nicotine, such as cigars, e-cigarettes, pipes, hookahs, or Nicorette gum. Most of my patients believe these alternatives to be safer and think they are not at risk for cancer. They haven't even considered that nicotine is a drug that, when taken internally, increases the incidence of other deadly diseases. Today, I'll inform you about the risks you are taking by using nicotine in any form. I guess I should back up a bit. The act of smoking cigarettes not only provides the smoker with nicotine but also presents many other concerns. The average cigarette, cigar, pipe tobacco, and hookah contain these chemicals along with 69 others that have been linked to cancer: Acetone – the poisonous ingredient in nail polish remover. Benzene – the ingredient in gas and fuels that causes cancer. Arsenic – in murder mystery movies as the poison of choice. Formaldehyde – the chemical used to embalm dead bodies that causes cancer. Ammonia – the active ingredient in window cleaner. Lead is a toxic chemical that we avoid by treating our drinking water, so it doesn't contain it. It causes neurological damage and can lead to dementia. No adult in their right mind would willingly put any of these chemicals into their body. Yet, the addiction to tobacco and nicotine leads millions to contaminate their bodies with these poisons. We haven't even begun to discuss the effects of nicotine. If you are listening to motivate someone you love to stop smoking, you might want to memorize these chemicals and see if understanding this fact affects their ability to quit smoking. If not, I have some more motivating yet unfavorable news for you. The drug nicotine is highly addictive, and it is indeed a drug. It falls into the category of stimulant drugs. Most individuals with anxiety issues tend to choose nicotine as their drug of choice. Nicotine functions like any other stimulant; it causes the arteries to contract, reducing blood and oxygen flow. Over time, this results in elevated blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and an impaired ability to dilate when increased blood flow is necessary in a particular area. The next stage in this progression is arteriosclerosis, which may be followed by a heart attack or stroke. Many people addicted to nicotine in cigarettes try other forms of the drug, generally derived from tobacco, introducing numerous other chemicals into their bodies. Attempting to reduce nicotine by changing the method of ingestion still exposes you to another form of tobacco. In medicine, we refer to smoking as “pack years” to describe the amount of cigarette smoking in the patient's history. A Pack Year is equal to one pack a day multiplied by the number of years the patient has been exposed to the poisons and nicotine from cigarettes. Even though other forms of nicotine carry the same risks, we haven't developed a shorthand for exposure to these forms. However, we do understand the amount of nicotine present in each type of tobacco. Cigarettes contain an average of 10 to 12 mg of nicotine each, but only about 1.5 mg is actually inhaled. A pack of cigarettes delivers approximately 28 mg of nicotine. You can compare that to other forms of nicotine: Product Amount of nicotine Cigar 13.3–15.4 mg (large cigars) E-cigarette 0.5–15.4 mg (15 puffs) Pipe (tobacco) 30.08–50.89 mg Chewing tobacco 144 mg (whole can) Hookah 1.04 mg (per puff) Now, the alternatives for stopping this addiction include replacing nicotine with something else that doesn't contain the chemicals responsible for cancer. Nicorette gum or lozenges are the most popular options, but they should not be used for extended periods. They serve as short-term solutions to an addiction, as they can still cause vascular damage. The dose in one piece of Nicorette gum is 2 mg, which is equivalent to 1.5 cigarettes. This is not a permanent solution; other methods, such as acupuncture, hypnosis, and antidepressants, should be used to stop the addiction. A professional counselor or psychiatrist is the best choice for helping a smoker quit. Like any addiction, specialists are available to help and guide you throughout the process.

Formaldehyde, a cancer-causing toxin is being used as a preservative in cosmetic cremes, lotions,serums, wipes, oils, gels, and foams, an urgent warning has been issued to millions of women afterthe carcinogen formaldehyde was detected in dozens of popular personal care products. What's notbeing reported is formaldehyde is an ingredient in many children and adult vaccines including DPT(Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis), flu shots, polio, hepatitis and others. Why is the American CancerSociety not sounding the alarm about formaldehyde in vaccines?Dr. Bob and Dr. Brockman take calls and emails from listeners
What if the air freshener in your car was more dangerous than the pollution outside? In this explosive episode, Darin reveals what's really inside those “harmless” little trees hanging from car mirrors—and why they could be silently damaging your health. Backed by real science and peer-reviewed studies, Darin uncovers the shocking truth about volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the health effects on the brain and lungs, and the corporations that won't label them. You'll also learn how to detox your air, reclaim your health, and even start a grassroots movement to get a fragrance-free option in ride shares like Uber and Lyft. Studies: There's this study called “Volatile Chemical Emissions from Car Air Fresheners”—and wow. Researchers analyzed 12 popular car fresheners—those trees, clips, sprays, gels—you name it. Here's what they found: 546 volatile organic compounds. That's VOCs. Out of those, 30 were considered potentially hazardous—things like formaldehyde, benzene, and other stuff you definitely don't want marinating your brain. And you know what's wild? Not a single one of those hazardous chemicals was listed on the label. (Steinemann et al., 2020) There's a study called “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Asthmatics”—and it found that over 64% of people with asthma reported real symptoms from these scented products: wheezing, headaches, even full-on asthma attacks. And 41% said air fresheners were the trigger (Steinemann, 2017). Another one? “Migraine Headaches and Fragranced Consumer Products.” Nearly half of the people who get migraines said air fresheners specifically set them off (Steinemann & Nematollahi, 2020). And if you're neurodivergent—like folks with autism? This next one breaks my heart. In the study “Fragranced Consumer Products: Effects on Autistic Adults,” 83.7% of autistic individuals said fragranced products triggered serious neurological and respiratory problems—and 63% said air fresheners were one of the worst offenders (Steinemann, 2018). In a study out of Nigeria, researchers exposed mice to a solid commercial air freshener. After a few weeks, the mice showed increased anxiety, depression-like behavior, memory loss, and signs of oxidative stress in the brain. Their brains were literally under chemical assault. The study's called “Neurobehavioral Effects of Prolonged Exposure to Solid Air Freshener in Mice.” Check it out—it's eye-opening (Umukoro et al., 2019). Sorry to tell you… greenwashed products aren't any better. In the same 2020 study I mentioned earlier, researchers tested “natural” versions too—and found no meaningful difference in the chemicals they released (Steinemann et al., 2020).

Your house should be your safe space. But what if it's the source of your symptoms? In this solo episode of Super Life, Darin Olien uncovers the hidden poisons lurking inside your home—from cookware and furniture to cleaning products and carpets. Darin breaks down the scientific research behind common toxins like PFAS, phthalates, formaldehyde, and flame retardants, and shows you how these “fatal conveniences” may be silently disrupting your hormones, damaging your gut, and weakening your immune system. You'll walk away from this episode with practical, easy-to-implement solutions that will help you detox your environment and build a home that supports vitality, longevity, and true wellness. 1. Formaldehyde in Your Home: The Silent Threat Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant found in engineered wood products, cabinetry, moldings, countertops, and furniture. It is classified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization and has been linked to respiratory issues, asthma, and even leukemia (Zhang et al., 2020). How to Reduce Formaldehyde Exposure: Opt for solid wood furniture instead of pressed wood. Use low-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and finishes. Keep your home well-ventilated with HEPA air purifiers. 2. The Hidden Dangers of PFAS (Forever Chemicals) PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are found in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, waterproof clothing, and even drinking water. Studies show these chemicals accumulate in the body and are linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, immune system suppression, and reproductive toxicity (DeWitt et al., 2019). How to Reduce PFAS Exposure: Switch to cast iron or stainless steel cookware. Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets and furniture. Use water filters certified to remove PFAS. 3. Plastics: More Than Just an Environmental Issue Plastics release harmful chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) and phthalates, which disrupt the endocrine system, leading to infertility, metabolic disorders, and even neurological issues (Talsness et al., 2009). How to Reduce Plastic Exposure: Use glass or stainless steel containers. Avoid microwaving food in plastic. Choose BPA-free household products. 4. Carpets: A Reservoir of Toxins and Allergens Carpets harbor SVOCs (semi-volatile organic compounds), flame retardants, and pesticides, making them a major source of indoor air pollution and allergens. Children and pets are particularly vulnerable (Cao et al., 2017). How to Reduce Carpet-Related Risks: Choose natural fiber rugs like wool or cotton. Regularly clean with a HEPA vacuum. Use non-toxic carpet cleaners. 5. Fragrances: The Airborne Toxins in Your Home Synthetic fragrances found in air fresheners, candles, cleaning products, and perfumes contain phthalates and VOCs that are linked to respiratory issues, migraines, and hormone disruption (Steinemann, 2018). How to Detox Your Home's Air: Use essential oil diffusers instead of synthetic air fresheners. Choose fragrance-free cleaning products. Improve indoor air quality with houseplants like peace lilies and spider plants. SuperLife Home Detox: Steps to Create a Healthy Living Space Switch to Non-Toxic Cleaning Products – Avoid harsh chemicals; opt for vinegar, baking soda, and essential oils. Improve Ventilation – Open windows daily and use HEPA air filters. Filter Your Water – Invest in a high-quality water filtration system to remove PFAS, chlorine, and heavy metals. Avoid Toxic Furniture and Decor – Choose organic bedding, non-toxic paint, and untreated wood furniture. Ditch the Plastics – Use glass, stainless steel, or silicone alternatives for food storage and cookware. Go Green with Personal Care Products – Check labels for parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. Conclusion The reality is, our homes can be filled with hidden toxins that impact our health in ways we don't even realize. But the good news? We have the power to change that. By making small, intentional choices—like choosing cleaner products, improving ventilation, and ditching harmful plastics—you can create a SuperLife-approved home that truly supports your well-being.

We spend about 90 percent of our lives indoors, yet the air inside our homes and offices is often far more polluted than the air outside. Volatile organic compounds—better known as VOCs—are constantly emitted by furniture, cleaning products, and even the very walls around us. Formaldehyde, benzene, toluene—these chemicals sound like something you'd find in an industrial park, but they're actually in the places where we eat, sleep, and work. Well, what if nature could give us a hand here? What if plants, and even microbes, could be supercharged to clean our air at a level that truly makes a difference? That's exactly the mission of today's guest: Patrick Torbey, CEO and co-founder of Neoplants. His company is using synthetic biology to enhance houseplants and their soil microbes with built-in air purification superpowers. Right now, they are offering microbial powders called Power Drops to mix with water and sprinkle onto the soil of your own houseplants to super-charge their air purifying capacity. I already ordered mine and am using them now. They also offer Neo Px, which is their all-in-one plant and microbe duo, including a Marble Queen Pothos. The bottom line is that they claim their technology can make plants up to 30 times more effective at cleaning the air in our homes and offices than the plants we currently have today. Their systems don't just filter air pollution but actually metabolize it into harmless compounds. In this episode, Patrick and I have a wide-ranging conversation about topics like synthetic biology, science fiction, nature vs. nurture, and of course, how his company's tech will both make money and make the world a better place. Already the company has raised more than $20 million in venture capital, with more still yet to come. So, if you've ever wondered how science, business, and sustainability can come together to solve a problem hiding in plain sight—or in this case, plain smell—you won't want to miss this conversation. Discussed in this episode You can order Neoplants' microbes for your houseplants' soil here. Our past podcast episodes with Pivot Bio (nitrogen-enhancing microbes) and Living Carbon (rapid-growth trees). Patrick discussed how reading Cosmos changed his life. There was also a 1980 TV Series by Sagan called Cosmos and an updated remake in 2014 by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Patrick discusses how China is planting forests outside cities to improve air quality. Patrick recommends reading science fiction, leading Paul to recommend a book he recently read, Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. More about Patrick Torbey Patrick Torbey is the co-founder and CEO of Neoplants, a Paris-based synthetic biology startup, engineering plants' genomes and microbiomes to have a positive impact on the air we breathe.

In this episode, we're dusting off the Martian surface to reveal new evidence that hints at the planet's potential past life. A recent study from Japan brings to light ancient atmospheric conditions that could have fostered the formation of life-essential molecules. Dive into the science of how formaldehyde, a chemical you wouldn't typically associate with life, may have been a critical ingredient in Mars' primordial soup.Then, we shrink our focus to the smallest exoplanet ever discovered, Kepler 37b. Is it a planet, an asteroid, or something in between? This celestial object, roughly the size of our Moon, challenges our definitions and understanding of planetary bodies. The team discusses the criteria that separate planets from dwarf planets and the exciting prospect of future discoveries with the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.From Martian mysteries to minuscule exoplanets, this episode is a cosmic cocktail of astrophysical wonder and discovery.

Well, it is the end of March, spring has sprung, and April showers are coming in fast and furious. We're back with the monthly Art Angle Round Up, where we focus our attention on three headline-making stories that have made the rounds in the last month. This week, Art Angle hosts Ben Davis and Kate Brown are joined by Artnet brand editor William van Meter. First up is the latest from controversy-machine Damien Hirst. The former YBA enfant terrible is back in the news for fudging the dates of his signature formaldehyde animal series, which itself follows the news from a few years ago that those same sculptures "leaked noxious gas." Next up is a conversation about the International Center of Photography (ICP), which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Ben's story, titled "How Do You Tell Photography's History? ICP's Big Birthday Show Embodies the Struggle" and William's "The Exquisite Life of Photographer David Seidner" broach larger questions about what ICP's vision is as a photography museum and more broadly address the state of photography today. Finally, it's our birthday! In February, we marked 10 years of Artnet News, and the trio revisits some of the biggest stories published over the last decade, and the future of art media.

On this week's show we look at the new devices supported by Matter 1.2 and we ask you if you are a Quiet Quitter of your pay TV service. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Netflix Adds Nearly 9 Million Subscribers in Q3; Streamer Says Ad-Supported Plans Up Nearly 70% From Q2 Hulu, Max and Peacock are introducing a 'pause ads' feature DIRECTV Stream Finally Rolls Out Unlimited DVR to Legacy Subscribers Google Fiber Set To Roll Out Lightning Fast 20 Gig Internet by the End of the Year NextGen TV Devices to Top 10M by Year's End Other: Fix your remote buttons with ButtonWorx Find on-line content with reelgood.com. Matter 1.2 The new device types supported in Matter 1.2 include: Refrigerators – Beyond basic temperature control and monitoring, this device type is also applicable to other related devices like deep freezers and even wine and kimchi fridges. Room Air Conditioners – While HVAC and thermostats were already part of Matter 1.0, stand alone Room Air Conditioners with temperature and fan mode control are now supported. Dishwashers – Basic functionality is included, like remote start and progress notifications. Dishwasher alarms are also supported, covering operational errors such as water supply and drain, temperature, and door lock errors. Laundry Washers – Progress notifications, such as cycle completion, can be sent via Matter. Dryers will be supported in a future Matter release. Robotic Vacuums – Beyond the basic features like remote start and progress notifications, there is support for key features like cleaning modes (dry vacuum vs wet mopping) and additional status details (brush status, error reporting, charging status). Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms – These alarms will support notifications and audio and visual alarm signaling. Additionally, there is support for alerts about battery status and end-of-life notifications. These alarms also support self-testing. Carbon monoxide alarms support concentration sensing, as an additional data point. Air Quality Sensors – Supported sensors can capture and report on: PM1, PM 2.5, PM 10, CO2, NO2, VOC, CO, Ozone, Radon, and Formaldehyde. Furthermore, the addition of the Air Quality Cluster enables Matter devices to provide AQI information based on the device's location. Air Purifiers – Purifiers utilize the Air Quality Sensor device type to provide sensing information and also include functionality from other device types like Fans (required) and Thermostats (optional). Air purifiers also include consumable resource monitoring, enabling notifications on filter status (both HEPA and activated carbon filters are supported in 1.2). Fans –Matter 1.2 includes support for fans as a separate, certifiable device type. Fans now support movements like rock/oscillation and new modes like natural wind and sleep wind. Additional enhancements include the ability to change the airflow direction (forward and reverse) and step commands to change the speed of airflow. Are you a quiet Quitter? We received an email from long time listener Mike LaBorde with a link to an article at TV Tech titled The `Quiet Quitters' of Pay TV Continue to Grow. Mike suggests that he is one and as I thought about my situation I decided I am one as well. So what is a Quiet Quitter and are you one of us? A Quiet Quitter is someone who has largely stopped viewing pay TV programming but hasn't dropped their pay TV subscription or “cut-the-cord.” According to Inscape's recent Q2 2023 TV Market Trends report, about 5% of U.S. cable/satellite households have outright quit viewing content via their satellite and cable TV options in the second quarter of the year. Inscape found that 9% reduced their cable/satellite viewing by 75% or more from Q2 2022 to Q2 2023 (to account for viewing seasonality), but didn't fully quit. Additionally, 8.4% of U.S. cable/satellite households had a drop of 50-75% in cable/satellite viewing time in Q2 2023 from Q2 2022. I did some analysis on my own viewing habits and here are the numbers. Back in 2000 I spent one hour in the morning watching TV, mostly news, and four hours in the evening from 6:00 - 10:00 Monday through Friday. That is a total of five hours a day. I now listen to podcasts as I get ready in the morning which by itself reduces my pay TV usage by 20%. In the evening I watch Youtube for about 30 minutes and then I may turn to linear television for about 30 minutes to an hour while I wait for the family to assemble and watch TV. At this point I've already cut 1 ½ hours of my normal viewing. Once we've settled in to watch TV for the evening it's not from the live TV or the DVR but rather from Hulu, Peacock, Paramount, Max, or Netflix. On a non-sports evening I have cut my linear TV by as much as 90%. So why do I keep my subscription? It's those pesky sports teams that I follow. It's no fun watching delayed. You have to watch them live. The Dodgers, Kings, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and to a lesser degree Tennessee Volunteers keep me paying for DirecTV Stream. We also will record Hallmark Christmas movies and watch them during the holiday season. I count DVR's programming a pay TV. You really have to ask yourself, is it worth it to pay $90 a month just to watch 25% of what you used to on a pay TV service. Unfortunately being a big sports fan has it's costs! According to Inscape data, while streaming commands 56.5% of overall TV viewing time, that falls to 23.1% for sports and 14.7% for news. Cable/satellite/antenna, meanwhile, accounts for 43.5% of overall TV viewing time, but dominates in sports (76.9%) and news (85.3%). Alternatively I can find a way to get my sporting fix through add-on services like “At Bat” for baseball and “Sunday Ticket” for Football but when you add everything up it more or less costs the same amount as having a pay TV service. So you may as well just pay for pay TV on the odd chance you have nothing to watch and all you have is Nick at Nite or TV Land!

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks with Silva Santé, Natural Consultant & Author. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/silva-sante2 Highlights from today's episode include: Silva Santé they conducted a study on plants that didn't need a lot of light to grow and could eliminate toxic substances created by the equipment in these space stations. Their findings showed that indoor plants can actually clean air of cancer causing volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde, and benzene. These chemical compounds are actually found everywhere. Silva Santé So, there's more energy basically, I would say, in a fresh sprig of mint, or basil, or anything that you pick from your garden, basically, than there is in a whole processed meal. Silva Santé if you don't have the time and space, then at least grow some flowers and grow some herbs. And that will help a lot.

Some mortuary workers at the country's largest funeral home company have been exposed to potentially dangerous amounts of formaldehyde. InvoCare, which runs 40 funeral homes, crematoriums and cemetaries employing around 260 staff was warned more than a year ago that the amount of formaldehyde in the air at three mortuaries was nearly twice the recommended safe level. One embalmer wants to know if he's been exposed but the company says it cannot give staff their individual testing results. Anusha Bradley has been looking into this.
Some lipsticks and foundations sold in Washington state contain lead, and some body lotions and hair products contain formaldehyde, according to the state ecology department. Lawmakers in Washington state want to change that.
