Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you

on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Let's talk about the five women's products that should be avoided.

Now, there are always alternatives, everything toxic out there.

And when we talk about products, there are still things on the market that are very unsafe,

very toxic, and you need to be aware of them.

So let's start with compact powder. So we're talking about talc powder or talcum powder,

and they use that in all sorts of women's products from creams to finishing powders,

materials that are used for eye shadow, blushes, foundations, and many beauty creams.

Now, talc is the softest mineral, and it's highly absorbable, so it'll absorb the oil from your skin and give you an appearance of kind of a soft, silky texture, at least at first.

Now, here's the problem with talcum powder. When they mine it,

it always comes with something else called asbestos. And so up to 20% of all products out there

with talcum powder have as a contaminated ingredient. And the problem with asbestos is it can leave you with a malignancy

called mesothelioma. So if you're currently using compact powder, you want to find a brand that is

asbestos free. Now there's two sites that I put in the description that you can find a non-toxic

talcum powder. All right, number two, nail polish and now remover.

Boy, I don't understand how some people that work in the environment of doing nails can tolerate the

toxicity of these chemicals. And if you personally work in a place like that, you at least need to get an air

ionizer to help reduce these chemicals in the air. But what's the big deal with nail polish?

Well, it has chemicals like toline, which is in gasoline. I mean, it's a solvent. It's in there to keep

the paint from separating. But if you breathe it in,

it can create a central nervous system toxicity. And it can have bad effects on your reproductive organs.
