DESCRIPTION: Where do DDT, hexochlorobenzene, PCBs, and perfluorochemicals (linked to thyroid disease) concentrate in the food supply? Where do DDT, hexochlorobenzene, PCBs, and perfluorochemicals (linked to thyroid disease) concentrate in the food supply? In Cannibalistic Feed Biomagnification (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cannibalistic-feed-biomagnification/) I explore how many pollutants can creep up the food chain. A similar array of foods is contaminated with other industrial pollutants. See Food Sources of PCB Chemical Pollutants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-pcb-chemical-pollutants/), Dioxins in the Food Supply (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dioxins-in-the-food-supply/), and the video-of-the-day on Monday, Food Sources of Flame Retardant Chemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-flame-retardant-chemicals/). Which fish is most contaminated? See Farmed Fish vs. Wild Caught (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/farmed-fish-vs-wild-caught-2/). In addition to eating as low as possible on the food chain, choosing organic can reduce our families' pesticide exposure. See, for example, Can Pesticides Be Rinsed Off? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-pesticides-be-rinsed-off/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/ and he'll try to answer it!
