Toxic America | a CNN Special Report

(part 1)
(part 2)
Although it is deeply upsetting to keep hearing about the reality of the toxic world Americans are living in, this CNN report gives us hope that people are finally starting to wake up. What a relief it is to see this coming out of mainstream media! In this special report, Sanjay Gupta, M.D. gives us the scoop on this large and troubling issue Americans face and then it dives into the problems with our chemical regulatory laws.  He also goes into the changes we can make to prevent illnesses caused by toxic substance exposure. It was also great to see them point out the difference between the U.S and Europe in relation to chemical laws, for example, how some chemicals are banned in Europe and still used in the U.S.

Make the world a better place just by sharing this with your family and loved ones. Thanks to all that do.
