Summary

EPISODE 35 Does grocery shopping overwhelm you? Same! 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” -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 Resources: -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, Facebook, TikTok: @foodsciencebabe -Twitter: @foodscibabe -Merchandise -Linktree SHOW NOTES: lynzyandco.com Connect with me on Instagram @motherhoodmeetsmedicine.
