    Sunscreen Exposed: The Chemicals Putting Your Health at Risk

    Sunscreen Exposed: The Chemicals Putting Your Health at Risk

    Are You Putting Toxic Chemicals on Your Skin?
     
    You lather it on before heading outside to "protect" yourself from the sun's rays. But what if that sunscreen you're using is actually doing more harm than good?
     
    In my solo episode of The Darin Olien Show, I dive deep into the dangers of common sunscreen ingredients like avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, and e-camsule. Shocking research shows that these chemicals get absorbed into the bloodstream at levels far exceeding safety limits - even from a single application!
     
    The main point? These hormone-disrupting, potentially cancer-causing chemicals have no place in sunscreens or on our skin. Sensible sun exposure without sunscreen is not only safe, but crucial for vitamin D production, nitric oxide increase, and overall mortality reduction.
     
    This is an eye-opening listen that will make you seriously rethink slathering on those toxic sunscreen products.

    The Bitter Truth About Food Waste: How Your Choices Can Make a Difference with Amy Keller of Climate Candy

    Food is the strongest lever to optimize health and environmental sustainability on Earth. The solution? We need a substantial shift towards plant-based dietary patterns and a 50% reduction in food waste.

We also dive into school programs and how reducing our consumption of convenience items could help the planet. 
     
    Amy Keller believes where there is a vision the best way to predict the future is to create it yourself. She has never been satisfied with the status quo and Climate Candy is a catalyst for change. Amy Keller determined a long time ago that whatever business she started, it had to make a positive impact on the planet and people’s health. Climate Candy is a brand designed to have a long-standing and meaningful role in the cultural revolution in upcycled foods and climate change.
