THE SUGAR SCANDAL

The sugar industry has spent years downplaying the health impacts of sugar and promoting the use of fluoride in public water supplies, despite clear evidence of its potential harm, especially for kids. In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about a new warning on plastic pollution and children's health, how play sand in Australia has been found to be laced with asbestos, and the EPA's head-scratching approval of another PFAS pesticide ingredient. Then scientific researcher Chris Neurath talks about his work uncovering documents that show how the sugar industry manipulated science and worked secretly behind the scenes to support community fluoridation programs despite evidence of fluoride's neurotoxicity and links to other serious diseases.
