Summary
This is one of the few places you will be able to find important information on risks of MRI dye (containing the toxic chemical gadolinium). Since I began reporting on this topic on Full Measure, many of these dyes have been banned in Europe and Japan. However, the FDA in the U.S. decided to keep them on the market and, instead, issued new warnings. However, the new warnings are very difficult to find. Investigative producer David Bernknopf joins me for this podcast.
Share with your friends and family who might be interested in MRI dye safety.
