DESCRIPTION: Phytonutrients found in certain foods may protect against the toxic effects of industrial pollutants such as dioxin and DDT, suggesting a dual role for plant-based diets to reduce both exposure and subsequent damage. Where is dioxin found in our diet? See Dioxins in the Food Supply (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dioxins-in-the-food-supply/). What about DDT? See yesterday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/). How many different chemicals are the most vulnerable amongst us exposed to overall? See CDC Report on Environmental Chemical Exposure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/%EF%BB%BFcdc-report-on-environmental-chemical-exposure/) for pollutants in pregnant women and Wednesday's NutritionFacts.org video-of-the-day, How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-fast-can-children-detoxify-from-pcbs/), for exposure of children. More on ginger in Amyloid and Apple Juice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/amyloid-and-apple-juice/) and Dangerous Advice from health Food Store Employees (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dangerous-advice-from-health-food-store-employees/). See how we can incorporate more in our diet in Healthy Pumpkin Pie (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/healthy-pumpkin-pie-2/) and The Healthiest Beverage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-healthiest-beverage-2/). I've also got 11 videos on citrus (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/citrus/) and hundreds of videos on a thousand other topics (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/).

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