If you add these things up, that's when it can be potentially problematic to your health.

So we just want to be more mindful of how we're consuming our beverages and food.

How's it going, number one?

Welcome back to another episode of the Nutrition Science Podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Adrian Chavez, and today we are going to be talking about how to reduce your exposure to potentially harmful compounds when

which a lot of people have heard of refer to as forever chemicals, and heavy metals like
