A conversation with Bruce Lourie. Part 2 of 3: Fat and toxins.

A conversation with Bruce Lourie. Part 2 of 3: Fat and toxins.

Did you know that studies have linked some toxins to weight gain? Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like those found in the Teflon that coats your favorite frying pan can fundamentally alter how our bodies develop—including an alarming link to childhood obesity. A majority of synthetic chemicals are also lipophilic, meaning they’re prone to storing in fat. When we eat meat from animals that have ingested synthetic chemicals, we not only ingest and store the fat in that meat, we get the toxins as well, and the cycle continues. In this video, toxic chemical expert Bruce Lourie outlines the connection between animal fats, synthetic chemicals and our own health, and discusses how the only sure way to detoxify our bodies is not a 48-hour cleanse, but a lifestyle of better dietary choices and regular sessions of vigorous sweating.
