The latest national survey on the levels of chemical pollutants such as heavy metals, toxic solvents, endocrine-disrupters, flame-retardant chemicals, PCBs, and pesticides such as DDT in the bodies of pregnant and non-pregnant Americans. This is the first of a long series of videos on the role of diet in both accumulating and eliminating industrial pollutants that build up in the food chain. Today's and Friday's Nutritionfacts.org video-of-the-day (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/presidents-cancer-panel-report-on-environmental-risk/) set the stage. Then we'll get down to the nitty-gritty in terms of what we may want to avoid to decrease our toxic burden. I've done 20 previous videos on persistent organic pollutants (http://nutritionfacts.org/?s=persistent+organic+pollutants+) including Fish Oil in Troubled Waters (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-oil-in-troubled-waters/), 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 Industrial Pollutants in Vegans (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/industrial-pollutants-in-vegans/). I also cover 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/cdc-report-on-environmental-chemical-exposure/ and he'll try to answer it!
