I just did a video a few weeks ago about bisphenol A, the can lining chemical. Check it out at How to Avoid the Obesity-Related Plastic Chemical BPA (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-avoid-the-obesity-related-plastic-chemical-bpa/).

I close with yet another screed against reductionism. Just did a whole video on that too. See Why is Nutrition So Commercialized? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/why-is-nutrition-so-commercialized/) as well as Reductionism and the Deficiency Mentality (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Reductionism-and-the-deficiency-mentality).

If fresh fruit really that healthy? See If Fructose is Bad, What About Fruit? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/if-fructose-is-bad-what-about-fruit) and How Much Fruit is Too Much? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-fruit-is-too-much)

Now that there’s no more lead in the cans, any other way we’re exposed to the toxic heavy metal? See: 
• Get the Lead Out (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/get-the-lead-out/)
• Heavy Metals in Protein Powder Supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heavy-metals-in-protein-powder-supplements/)
• Filled Full of Lead (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/filled-full-of-lead/)
• California Children Are Contaminated (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/california-children-are-contaminated/)
• Lead Contamination of Tea (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/lead-contamination-of-tea)
