In this episode of Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn, we delve into the alarming presence of chemicals and plastics in our everyday lives. Drawing inspiration from the prophetic line "Plastics" in the movie The Graduate, Dr. Kahn explores the unfortunate accuracy of this prediction and the toxicity associated with these materials. Through insights from the book Fatal Conveniences and recent published research on persistent organic pollutants like PFOS, we uncover the potential dangers they pose to our health. Amidst the concerns, there is a glimmer of hope. Dr. Kahn highlights exciting research suggesting that maintaining adequate folate (vitamin B9) levels may offer a degree of protection against these harmful substances.
