Is Our Food Dangerous? Busting Myths about Food Science

I welcome Erin--a chemical engineer and food scientist and she helps me bust some myths about food science. She has an amazing Instagram account @foodsciencebabe where she shares evidence-based explanations of myths regarding food.  Tune in as we discuss the following: Is corn syrup bad? Is baby rice cereal going to give my child arsenic poisoning? Are there really heavy metals in baby food? Is it a problem? Why do Cheerios get a bad rap? Is organic food better? Is it better for the environment/ What is GMO? Is non-GMO really better?  Is food coloring bad? Is the EWG a science-based organization? How is food regulated in the US?
