Welcome back to another real foodology podcast. I'm your host, Courtney Swan, and today is going to be

another solo episode. I've been wanting to do this for a little while now because there's a lot of

talk about what's happening at the EPA right now. And let me be very clear and say this out the

gates. I'm not happy with a lot of what's going on right now.

If you have been following me for the last five years with my podcast or on Instagram for the last 14 years,

you know that I'm very vocal about chemicals in our food and water,

and I'm incredibly concerned about them, specifically Pthas, phallates, VOCs that are in our furniture,

and as you know, glyphosate, atrazine, paraquot, all of the things that are being sprayed

on our farmland right now. These are all chemicals that should be regulated by the EPA, and pretty

much none of them are being regulated by the EPA. Now, there's a lot of chatter online about this right now, which I just want to call out because I find it incredibly convenient that the accounts that have been going after me for years saying that I'm a quack are all very vocal about what's happening at the EPA and these supposed rollbacks.

So let's go into it. There's

some half-truths happening right now, and I want to get the truth out and let you guys know

exactly where all of this stands. So let's talk about Phaas first. A very big account, Dr. Jessica

Nurik is doing a lot of videos on this right now. And I find it really fascinating because I would

love to know where you were, Jessica, the last four years when we were all trying to sound the

alarm on this. So she keeps bringing up that the EPA's rolling back regulations on Phaas. Phaas are

also known as forever chemicals. They are found in non-stick pans. So all your non-stick

cookware, including air fryers, waffle makers, anything that has that non-stick lining,

potentially has P-Fas, and it's safe to assume that they have P-Fas in there. They're also found

in things like waterproof jackets, rain jackets, your ski gear, all of that is coated in Phaas. Food packaging is notoriously full of Phaas. I don't know if you guys remember a couple years ago. Carrey gold grass-fed butter was under fire for having Phaas and they were getting it in the butter from the packaging.

Now, Jessica is saying that the EPA is rolling back all these regulations on PIFAs right now that Biden put into place. Let's be very clear. We have known the science about how bad Phaas are

for us since the 90s. And no president has ever done a thing about it until Biden, and we will give
