'Forever chemicals' found in Sydney sewage by-products used in food production - ABC News

In 2023, the EPA commissioned a study into the potential health impacts called the NSW Biosolids Guideline Review.

It found consuming meat and milk from cattle that have grazed on land applied with biosolids posed a human health risk.

Once again highlighting the need to eat low on the food chain to avoid bio-accumulated toxins. I doubt PFAS would be the only risk from recycled sewage. There are also the medications of various kinds, like hormone replacement. It's likely that in the future they'll identify more risks that we are currently unknowingly being exposed to.

Strategies around food and exercise, rather than changing what you eat.

One of my favourite subjects - processed foods and their impact on our weight.




Gaining weight is obviously a multi-facetted problem. But of all the factors, I believe processed foods are the biggest. Even one of the expert commentators in the video openly said that she couldn't stop eating them. To be honest, I have trouble stopping even with healthy whole foods. So at 57 y.o. I believe I'd be quite large by now if I was eating the average amount of processed foods.

On TV tonight, on SBS Viceland at 08:30 AEDST, "Food, Inc. 2" is on. It will probably be on SBS OnDemand later if you miss it.

Simon never linked the pain in his hands and feet to multivitamins – but a pathology test did - The Guardian

I've warned about this before. Only take what you need. As in what is either absolutely necessary like B12 for vegans. Or what blood tests have actually said you're deficient in. Don't take multis, and consider vitamins and minerals you don't need as toxic. Because - as per above - they are. Some fortified food are also better avoided. Bread and breakfast cereals come to mind. For example, I wouldn't eat Wheat Bix because they have added iron. But the home brand copies that I've seen don't have added iron.
