Show Notes

Have you ever wondered the truth about additives in your food (what are they? Are they safe?), whether certain cooking oils are inflammatory and possibly toxic, or if your kids will be harmed by eating non-organic produce? 


These topics are ones that keep making the rounds on social media, and as a parent who wants to do the best for your kids, it can be really hard to know what’s right! It can make you want to give up altogether.


Erin, the Food Science Babe (
