DESCRIPTION: What a few days eating vegetarian can do to the level of antibiotics and phthalates flowing through one's body. Vegetarians may also have lower exposure to some of the more persistent pollutants. See Flame Retardant Chemical Contamination (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flame-retardant-chemical-contamination-2/) and Industrial Pollutants in Vegans (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/industrial-pollutants-in-vegans/). For more on antibiotics in meat, see Drug Residues in Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/drug-residues-in-meat/). Drug residues may also end up in the flesh of fish. See A Fine Kettle of Fluoxetine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/a-fine-kettle-of-fluoxetine/). For more on phthalates in meat, see Chicken Consumption and the Feminization of Male Genitalia (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/chicken-consumption-and-the-feminization-of-male-genitalia/). Are there More Antibiotics In White Meat or Dark Meat? Good question! That's tomorrow's video-of-the-day. (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/more-antibiotics-in-white-meat-or-dark-meat/)
