Kale: Super Food or Super Toxic?

from Accelerated Health with Sara Banta · host Sara Banta

Discover the truth about kale: Is it a superfood or super toxic? While conventionally grown and organic kale is often hailed as a nutritional powerhouse, recent findings suggest a concerning issue with potential contamination by toxic per- and poly-fluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment. This isn't solely a kale problem but rather an agricultural one. A recent pilot study revealed that 88% of tested kale samples were contaminated with PFAS, indicating a potentially widespread issue within our food system beyond kale. Join me as I delve into this important topic and uncover the implications for our health and food safety.Accelerated Health TV & Radio Show is broadcast live Tuesdays at 4PM ET.Accelerated Health TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Accelerated Health Radio Show is broadcast on W4HC Radio - Health Café Live (www.w4hc.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).Accelerated Health Podcast is also available on Talk 4 Podcasting (www.talk4podcasting.com), iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, Audible, and over 100 other podcast outlets.
