On today's episode of the Real Foodology Podcast.

There were heavy metals and Teflon.

So that was used on the uniforms to give them stain repellency.

Some of them had super saturated dies that would come off and stain the skin of the airline

attendance or their bras. One of them had chloradane which is a pesticide that

has been banned for all uses in sale in the United States since the 80s. It was just like a variety of things on all of these different uniforms.

Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology Podcast.

I'm your host Courtney Swan and today's guest is Alden Wicker.

She's an award-winning journalist, sustainable fashion expert, an author of the book to die for how toxic

fashion is making us sick. This is an episode that I think many of us been

waiting for for a long time. I get a ton of questions on my Instagram of people asking me what

workout clothes I buy what normal clothes I buy am I concerned about P-FASs being

found in our clothes am I worried about fertility and how our clothes are affecting us and the answer is yes and I finally found the

perfect person to do this episode with we dive into everything we talk about the different chemicals that are being used on

our clothing. We talk about what to look for, what labels to look for, what brands

to avoid, some brands to buy, how to know if you should buy it. We talk about

what kind of fibers you want your clothing to be made out of. She also talks

about the airline flight attendant litigation that was happening a couple years ago.

Actually, some of it is still happening right now. But a lot of airline flying

attendance were getting really sick and it turns out it was from their clothing.

So we dive into that, we talk about the dose does not necessarily make the poison.

How to reduce your exposure, what we can do and we give you some really hopeful tips.
