Manage episode 418157100 series 2534493
Hot off the press: Gatorade could be banned in multiple states if its recipe isn't changed! Hold the phone! But isn’t gatorade what you give your kid after a game because you know they’ll drink it? It’s way more fun than water and it has electrolytes! Right? Ok maybe you kinda knew that something was up with it and anything that color is kinda SUS. And sometimes it’s easier to look the other way and just live, without worrying about every darn thing. In this episode, we talk about Gatorade and a number of other products on the shelf at your grocery store that have additives and preservatives that are dangerous to consume and linked to cancer, hyperactivity, and DNA mutations. Other countries have banned these substances. Why haven’t we? No need to panic. Awareness is the key here. In this episode Kelsea and Rachael list the offenders and how to spot them.
