Summary

Over the next few months, I’ll be mixing in some of our earlier Motherhood Meets Medicine interviews with new episodes. These ‘best of’ episodes are the most shared and listened to episodes of all time! Today’s featured episode is an interview with Erin from Food Science Babe. If you ever get overwhelmed with grocery shopping and find it difficult to know if buying organic is actually worth it, then you’re going to love this conversation. With so many labels claiming products are organic, non-GMO, hormone-free, and natural, it’s hard to decide what is really best for us and our children. Not to mention, making the decision without breaking the bank. I am so relieved to get some real answers from Erin who is a chemical engineer and food scientist. You’ll be shocked, and probably relieved, to hear what she says about the food industry and what healthy really means. Erin has a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of MN. She has worked in the food industry for 10+ years in both the conventional and natural/organic sectors as an Engineer/Food Scientist. Erin debunks a lot of misinformation about the food industry on her Instagram and Tiktok accounts @foodsciencebabe that I definitely recommend you check out. In this episode we discuss: The misconceptions about the term “organic” The requirements necessary for a food to be labeled as organic What GMO really means The truth behind the EWG’s “Dirty Dozen” list Which labels you should really care about How Europe and the United States regulate food Discount codes from our sponsors: Navy Hair Care Shampoo + Conditioner: use code LYNZY for 30% off Navy Hair Care Charcoal Mask: use code LYNZY for 30% off AG1: Get a free one year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase: www.drinkag1.com/lynzy Resources: Banned in EU video Baby snacks video EU Food colors video Red Dye 40 & ADHD video Hidden dangers of organic foods video Dirty dozen video Connect with Erin: Erin’s Patreon page Instagram: @foodsciencebabe Facebook: Foodsciencebabe Tiktok: @foodsciencebabe Twitter: @foodscibabe Merchandise Linktree Connect with Lynzy: Instagram: @motherhoodmeetsmedicine Sign up for the weekly newsletter here lynzyandco.com Disclaimer: This podcast does not provide medical advice.
