| 0:00.0 | Now we've reached a part of the show where we address society's fatal conveniences and how we can avoid falling into them and being a victim of them. |
| 0:12.1 | I define fatal conveniences as the things we may be doing because the world we live in makes us believe we have to. |
| 0:21.5 | And even though they may be saving us time or tricking us into thinking they're good for us, |
| 0:27.4 | the truth is they're not. |
| 0:29.7 | In fact, they could be slowly harming us and even killing us. |
| 0:39.1 | This one you might be using today, and you might be using it every day. |
| 0:44.0 | You might be using it multiple times a day or right before you go to bed, |

| 1:47.2 | but in this case they're using it on dental floss so it slides in between the teeth and it's in your |
| 1:54.3 | mouth and if you don't know that absorbability in that thin layer in your mouth is huge. That's where, you know, they say, |
| 2:06.5 | like if you're taking certain herbal remedies or whatever, swish or homeopathics, keep it in your |
| 2:15.3 | mouth, let it absorb in your mouth. And so they're putting these |
| 2:20.4 | PFAs on our dental floss and then we're using that every day. Don't oral B glide. Anything that's |
