episode Fragrance artwork

Fragrance

Fragrance is the manufacturer’s trade secret, secret formula, and proprietary blends and is legally protected by not displaying exactly what’s in it, this can be over 2000 separate harsh ingredients or 300 different chemicals. Yes, companies are not required to disclose fragrance ingredients, Synthetic fragrances are in countless products like shampoo, candles, fabric softeners, window sprays, toys, texta, pens, and even tissues. It represents some of the worst chemicals you can be exposed to. Fragrance chemicals frequently cause allergic reactions. Symptoms may include rashes, respiratory issues, migraines, asthma, dizziness, vomiting, airway irritation, and sinus problems. Some fragrance chemicals are also suspected or known cancer-causing, endocrine disruptors, and capable of birth defects. Ingredients like phthalates and parabens could be included in the word Fragrance and some ingredients could be made from petroleum products. I should say it would include those but we will never know. Most fragrances have not been assessed for or are not required to be assessed for health effects (Dr Peter Dingle) and have never been tested for human toxicity. A study of Calvin Klein’s Eternity found 41 ingredients. Those ingredients are known to be toxic to the skin, nervous and reproductive systems. Fragrance is a fake smell or better still hidden chemicals Watch the document called Stink or read Dangerous Beauty.

episode Parabens artwork

Parabens

Parabens are used as a preservative in everyday products and you will find them mainly in a lot of cosmetic products. A number of studies found an earlier onset of puberty in girls associated with higher paraben levels. Parabens mimic estrogen by binding the estrogen receptors on cells and are often found in breast cancer tissues. Parabens are highly absorbent and this synthetic preservative is linked to hormonal imbalances, disrupts the endocrine system and irritates the skin. It is toxic to the development and reproductive system You will find company are now removing parabens and stating this on the front of the packet with the words – no parabens.  If a product states no parabens, I would ask what it has been replaced with. Phenoxyethanol is one ingredient replacing paraben and I will do a podcast on this but for now, it is something to look out for also. You will find parabens in sunscreen, shampoo/conditioner, lipstick, and hand soap. Also, look out for any words that have parabens at the end.

episode Aspartame - (951) artwork

Aspartame - (951)

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener. You will find aspartame in packaged products labelled zero sugar, diet, low calorie and sugar-free. Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by a worker employed by a company later purchased by Monsanto by accident when he was testing for another drug and when it tasted he found it to be sweet.  Early 80s aspartame was approved for use in carbonated beverages. Nutrasweet and equal are the brand name for aspartame and they are found in stores. Aspartame is an odourless white powder that is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. Used to reduce the number of calories in products and it is cheaper. Aspartame is a popular choice over sugar because it doesn’t contribute to tooth decade and cavities There are so many studies and so many debates over the safety of aspartame. Research states there is a connection to memory loss, learning impairment, seizures, headaches, hyperactivity, asthma, weight gain, mood changes ( Ha it sounds like moon but it's mood....) , breathing difficulties, depression, cancer and brain tumours. The manufacturers of aspartame and the FDA say that the adverse symptoms reported regarding aspartame are inconclusive as their lab studies don’t confirm this Something to note is that 100% of the studies that are industry-funded deem aspartame safe and 92% of the independent studies show the above side effects. When looking at a sugar-free diet always flip over and see if 951 or 950 is listed. 950 has similar side effects to 951 Something to consider when reducing your sugar intake is to always read the packet

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
