Dr. Aly Cohen and Dr. Barry H Cohen discuss the kidney and the importance of prevention:
If you have a 20 minutes visit, it's hard to treat, especially a specialist, They're coming to me because they're sick. How much time can I spend to treat that sickness? And then prevention is hard. There's not a lot of time elements involved. But they got to start medical school prevention to learn that all, And teach doctors how to talk about it in their offices. And for us, early referral. Early referral because we can stop things and control things. They don't have to be on dialysis. Not everybody goes to dialysis. And understand for us, dialysis is not the end of the world. These people survive. They have families, they work. It depends on the other diseases that might cause it, like diabetes and hypertension, strokes. But the dialysis machine does not tie people down and end their lives, which some people fear when they hear that word. They come to my office as a referral. The first thing they worried about is that word dialysis, that I have to as soon as they walk in the door, I tell them, you're not here for that. You're here for evaluation, diagnosis and prevention.

"Happy talk is just that. It's happy talk and we have a big problem. But what we've done is we've siloed it away and we basically make it the patient's fault. The fact is that type two diabetes, when I was a med student in 1976, was 2.5% of people over the age of 65 and 0.1% of people under the age of 65. And I know because I did a paper on it. Today type two diabetes is 9.4% of everyone over age 20. Now, how does that happen? Because gluttons and sloths all at the same time? Because we're all healthy? In fact, it has now been shown that 88% of the American population has some form of metabolic dysfunction. So that is not exactly what you would call a healthy population." - Dr. Robert Lustig

Food packaging is something that we have very little control over. I like to stay away from too much worry over things you can't control and focus on the things you can control.
So if you order soup from a restaurant, often they'll give you a hot plastic container with soup in the hot containers.
What we've worked out locally is just to bring our stainless steel container to those restaurants. Yes, they think I'm crazy, and yes, they manage it because they get paid for it, but they will they'll actually be kind enough to fill up those orders into a container that I provide for them.
These are little hacks that I think of when I want to enjoy my food without twitching and thinking it's filled with chemicals.

BPA, and many other chemicals, like phthalates, are still prevalent in numerous products. Phthalates are commonly used to make plastics soft and bendable, such as phone cases, vinyl flooring, and PVC piping for water treatment systems. These chemicals have become deeply ingrained in our culture, making it challenging to eliminate them from our daily lives. Unfortunately, they find their way into our bodies through ingestion when consuming food and water, as well as through inhalation when using fragrances and other scented products. As a result, phthalates and other unregulated chemicals can be detected in our bloodstream soon after exposure. The widespread use of these chemicals demands a careful examination of their impact on human health and the environment.

There are over 95,000 commercial, industrial, and agricultural chemicals currently registered and available for use in the United States, the majority of which have never been tested in humans for safety or toxicity. Only 5 chemicals have been taken off out the U.S. market since 1976, under the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). The food industry alone uses over 3,000 different chemicals and billions of pounds annually of chemicals that have been grandfathered in as 'safe', under the Generally Regarded as Safe or GRAS regulations. Water regulations, dating back to the 1970's are still in effect, regulating just 91 chemicals in over 160,000 water treatment plants across the U.S.. Home furnishings, air quality, cellular technology all have a "story" regarding regulation, testing, risk of harm, and safe use and alternatives. #ChemicalSafety #ToxicSubstances #ChemicalRegulations #UntestedChemicals #ChemicalExposure #EnvironmentalToxins #HealthRisks #SafeAlternatives #ChemicalIndustry #FoodChemicals #WaterTreatment #AirQuality #RegulatoryConcerns #ConsumerSafety #ChemicalAwareness
