Kale: Super Food or Super Toxic?
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
Discover the truth about kale: Is it a superfood or super toxic? While conventionally grown and organic kale is often hailed as a nutritional powerhouse, recent findings suggest a concerning issue with potential contamination by toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment. This isn't solely a kale problem but rather an agricultural one. A recent pilot study revealed that 88% of tested kale samples were contaminated with PFAS, indicating a potentially widespread issue within our food system beyond kale. Join me as I delve into this important topic and uncover the implications for our health and food safety.
