Environmental Toxins: Protecting Kids From Mercury
Did you know that your child could get mercury poisoning from eating tuna fish? And that if a woman of childbearing age – or one who's pregnant or nursing – eats too much fish with mercury in it, her baby's brain development could be permanently damaged? Both dangers are real, but they are also preventable. The same is true of lead poisoning: it affects nearly a million children ages 1-5 in the US, and once the damage happens, it's irreversible – but again, it's easy to prevent it if you know what to do. And this show will tell you! Our host, Dr. Winnie King, brings you true stories from the families, and the FACTS from the experts -about protecting your children from mercury and lead poisoning, about reducing the potential dangers from pesticides, about the real role of organic food in protecting your kids' health – all in this jam-packed half-hour show, that will teach you how to easily and confidently keep your kids safe!
