Summary

Did you know, you have a chemical used to create Teflon inside of your blood stream right now? Yes, you. Reading this. This week we talk about a very real problem and how we almost didn't even know about. Thankful for a farmer, a lawyer, and a grandmother, we learn about DuPont chemicals and the negligent toxic dumping that lead to a global problem. This episode goes great with a shot of vodka.
