  • Could you be bought by big pharma, much!

    Same reasoning as to why getting rid of industrial chemicals out of food, issues with seed oils, organic or not, etc….but no substance to your stance. Yes, everything is a chemical…to a point. But I don’t bake cookies with the same ingredients ultra processed food companies do. Common sense people! Food is medicine, big pharma keeps you sick, and change in lifestyle to clean living can make you healthy. Rolling my eyes in how you can be so stuck and bought. We are a sick nation because of what y... more

  • Balanced Perspective

    I am a consumer and a home chemist (think: cleaning lady, cosmetic connoisseur). All of the training I received (high school + college chemistry) taught me that there is so much to the chemical world, and that I essentially know nothing. However, I know enough to know that Jen’s science and her logic is sharp and sound enough for me to trust her on the things I don’t fully understand yet. I have loved every episode. Thank you.
