Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Speaker 1: Everyone loves Costco chicken or even that rotisserie chicken from Walmart or your favorite grocery store. But what if that label on that rotisserie bird isn't telling you the whole story? What you're about to learn could change the way that you buy protein forever. Costco chicken is beloved and seen as a great deal. I know this. But recent discussions about preservatives, labeling accuracy, and contamination has put that belief at risk. Guys, look. Speaker 2: Costco is facing a lawsuit over its popular rotisserie chickens. A group of shareholders filed the lawsuit against the company over its treatment in raising chickens. Speaker 0: You trust Costco with your family's dinner, but their meat undergoes a controversial process that's banned in several countries. Most shoppers have no idea this is happening right under their noses. The real question isn't what they're doing. It's why they're allowed to do it. You know that famous $5 rotisserie chicken at Costco? The one that's been the same price since Obama was president? Well, there's a juicy secret they don't want you knowing about. Speaker 1: They label it as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, guys. And this goes hand in hand with Walmart and your probably your favorite grocery store. This is what I would call a huge scandal. There's a reason why those chickens have been four ninety nine since 2009. It's to get you in the store. It's to get you to spend a ton of money, and they've cut a lot of corners to make sure that it's cheap and easy to produce for you. Welcome, guys. My name's Cohen from Riverside Homestead. What I do is I give you guys value. I do the digging so you don't have to do it. So if you appreciate that, hit the thumbs up right now. Let the community know where you're chiming in from, what state, and let me crush your dreams on rotisserie chicken like ugh. Trust me. I know. So watch. This chicken is labeled as no preservatives, organic, healthy as it gets. We've talked about this before on this channel. Loopholes. Speaker 0: Costco injects every single rotisserie chicken with a phosphate solution before it hits those warming lights. Think you're buying pure chicken? Think again. You're paying for water with a side of poultry. This liquid injection makes each bird weigh significantly more, So you're essentially buying a sponge that's been soaked in chemical juice. Speaker 1: Did you guys know that these chickens are only about six weeks old because of everything that they pump into them? It's a marketing ploy to get you through the door for the cheap chicken and buy everything else. And there's active lawsuits right now. This is especially bred chicken in horrible conditions. Speaker 3: Grown and fattened on likely corn and soy that's GMO to create this chicken in six weeks that you're eating. They take it to a mass slaughter house where they dip it in chlorine and other toxins to make it safe, and it's leaving those residues on the chicken. And this bird isn't just seasoned with normal herbs and spices. They have preservatives in here like sodium phosphate that's linked to liver and kidney damage and carrageenan, which can degrade into polygenin, which is a known inflammatory agent and possible carcinogen. Speaker 1: Yeah. I found information on that from another doctor. Speaker 4: Doctor Tanya, what's one thing you never buy from the grocery store? Rotisserie chicken. Why? The bag the chicken is stored in is plastic, and it leaches chemicals that get into the food when it's sitting under the heat. Most stores inject the chickens with additives so that they can last on the shelf longer. Chickens are often marinated in a preservative solution. We opt for preservative free cosmetics, and then we're eating preservative infested chicken. And carrageenan. This is a chemical that precooked poultry is injected with to make it tender and juicy, but guess what? It can also inflame the gut. Carrageenan is banned in Europe, but not in The United States. Speaker 1: Yet again, another ingredient item banned in other countries, but allowed in The US. I know we love it because it's such a good deal. It's cheap. It's easy. It's taste great. I'm on the struggle bus with you guys on this one, but I'm reading countless articles, discussion about preservatives, labeling accuracy and contamination that has put all this belief at risk. Now I recently was at a Costco filming this right here. I was there. I saw it. It says no added hormones or steroids in a chicken that is fully developed in six weeks. Right there at the bottom, you can see it says no added preservatives. And have you ever wondered why it's in a plastic bag that you can put in your microwave? Microwave safe, plastic bag, put the two and two together. Speaker 3: Right out of the oven stored in a plastic bag. Nobody really knows what type of plastic bag this is, but it's likely a mix of polyethylene terephthalate. Remember that word phthalate? It's a known hormone disruptor, and this is microwave safe. So you're putting hot food into a plastic bag that can leach these hormone disrupting chemicals, and a 117,000,000 of these are eaten each year in The US. So share this video with your friends. Speaker 1: This is what I'm talking about. Hundreds of thousand millions of these chickens are sold in The US a year. This is why you need to share this out. Sorry folks, but they're just cutting too many corners these days. And it comes down to us. And who's gonna suffer? Us. They're gonna make a ton of money. So if you dive into the legal term no preservatives, they found loopholes to where they can actually put this legally. This is where the class action lawsuit or the lawsuit from a couple people in California are like, hold up. Wait a minute, you guys are using this stuff and this is preservatives, but you guys are saying it's no preservatives. In short, the processing agents that they're using can be deemed not to be called preservatives. Oh yeah, you're getting something with no preservatives, organic as it gets. Yet at the end of the day, you and I would look at that cross eyed and be like, Yeah, what they're using works the same way. It's not what you think it is. That's just what it is. I'm not sure if you guys have seen what these large scale poultry processing facilities look like, but it's not happy chickens walking around a field eating green grass and bugs. Think about the cross contamination that occurs and what safeguards exist and where they fail. For certain that these huge plants they fail. Great thing for Costco is they can scale. They can pump out millions of birds in six weeks and give it to us for a low price even with them losing money. That's right. Like I said, scammedemic kind of they will take a loss on this because they're producing at such a large scale and cutting corners just to get you through the door for that $4 and 99 rotisserie chicken so that you put hundreds of dollars of their stuff in your cart and check out. Other stores, Walmart, other grocery stores, they have caught on to this. They know what Costco found out. They're all doing the same thing. This is information that you need to consider. Speaker 5: Alright, guys. Here are three scary facts about Costco chicken that'll hopefully make you never buy this shit ever again. Alright. So I had to move on over to Lowe's to show you part two of this video. So they start by bathing the chicken in chlorine. They actually put it in a chlorine bath, and it soaks in this chlorine for about thirty minutes. Why does that and should that matter to you? I'm gonna tell you. Next thing they do is they inject the chicken with a chemical compound called TSP. It's trisodium phosphate. Guys, I'm just at Lowe's pulling this stuff off the shelves. This is crazy. I mean, this is the shit that you're allowing into your body. Read the warning label on this and tell me that this is a good idea to ingest in the human body. And then the last thing, which is I don't know if it's scarier than the other two things. They're all really bad. But they they let the chicken sit in these plastic bags, and they sit there for days on end, hours, days, whatever. It's sitting in your fridge for probably a long time. There are microplastics being released into the chicken from the plastic bags that are getting into your body, and it is unbelievably bad for you. Mean, there's microplastics showing up in human hearts, in in in men's testicles. Like, it's really, really bad, guys. So here's the deal. Everyone's gonna ask me, what do I do? Buy your chickens local. Go to your local farmer's market. Go to your local farms. They are a little bit more expensive, so just eat less or go or or just be resourceful and find deals. But stop buying this shit because it's literally killing you. Speaker 1: When I go to Home Depot and I pull TSP off the shelves, what kind of chemical is that? Speaker 6: So when you grab TSP at Home Depot, you're holding trisodium phosphate. It's a heavy duty cleaner, often used to degrease and prep surfaces before painting. Powerful stuff. Just use it with care. Speaker 1: What's the caution label say? Speaker 6: The caution label on TSP usually warns about skin and eye irritation. So gloves and goggles are a must. It'll also say not to inhale the dust and to keep it away from kids. Basically, respect the power and you'll be good. Speaker 1: What if you eat it? Speaker 6: If you ingest TSP, it's no joke. It can cause serious irritation. Think burns in your mouth, throat and stomach. The label will tell you to seek medical help immediately. No waiting. Speaker 1: So yeah, definitely not a seasoning. Speaker 1: But if you go down the rabbit hole on that one, it's gonna say that it's a different type and it's the safe version and the FDA would never allow that specific one in your food. Just a different one. So when they put it in like rotisserie chicken, they're probably just putting safe amounts of it. Speaker 6: Oh no, don't worry. They're not putting TSP in your rotisserie chicken. That'd be a disaster. Some food safe phosphates might be used in processing, totally different and regulated, but the cleaning product TSP strictly for walls, not wings. Speaker 1: Are you sure it's not the same thing? Because a lot of reels say it's the same thing. Speaker 6: Yeah. I get why those reels pop up, but trust me, food grade phosphates and TSP cleaner are not the same. The food versions are heavily regulated for safety. If they try tossing the Home Depot stuff in your chicken, the FDA would have a feel day. So no worries. Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, it's a deep dive in half. Make informed decisions. Realize that these big companies are all about making the money, not about bringing you the safest product. And trust me, it's a little bit of a stab to me too because I like easy, I like tasty and we need that sometimes. But in this case, they may have jumped through too many hoops too many times, and it's putting Us consumers possibly in a bad position. Speaker 1: I've got two other great videos. If you guys didn't see these videos, you gotta watch these. These will blow your mind equally as much. Please let me know what you think down in the comments. Thumbs up. Share this out and subscribe because I've got a lot more coming down the pipe. Keep prepping, keep learning, keep doing. We'll see you guys on the next one.

They've changed toilet paper by quietly adding PFAS, or forever chemicals. These chemicals, originally used for waterproofing and non-stick pans, are linked to bowel Big C. Unlike other chemicals, PFAS don't break down. They build up in your body with each use, especially since your skin is absorbent in that area. Some brands even donate to Big C research, which might be a cover-up. How did toilet paper end up like this? It's no accident. Just like with toothpaste and band-aids, these toxins come into direct contact with the most absorbent parts of your body. So, when you reach for that roll, consider what you're really wiping with.

The speaker discusses concern about potential Teflon exposure in pasta and explains how to determine whether the pasta was produced on Teflon-coated equipment. The key claim is that a large portion of the world's pasta is produced on Teflon-coated machines, and there are simple indicators to tell whether your pasta was made this way, both during production and at the point of purchase. First, the speaker emphasizes a straightforward way to identify pasta not made on Teflon-coated equipment. The presence of the word bronze on the packaging or labeling is highlighted as a strong indicator that the pasta was not produced on Teflon-coated machinery. The speaker notes several examples: one company is using the label "bronze drawn," while others use phrases such as "bronze cut" on the front of their packaging. The consistent takeaway is that when the word bronze appears, it means the pasta was not made on Teflon. Second, the speaker points to texture as a visual and tactile clue. The smoother the pasta, the higher the chance that it was made on Teflon. The speaker contrasts two types of pasta textures side by side: a smooth, glossy finish associated with Teflon-made pasta and a grittier, cloudier appearance associated with bronze-made pasta. The gritty texture is described as having a noticeable roughness, and the pasta with this texture appears slightly cloudy. In contrast, the smooth pasta is said to slide out more easily yet remains smoother itself, implying a difference in surface finish linked to the production method. The overall message combines labeling and sensory cues as practical indicators for consumers. Bronze labeling serves as a direct textual signal that the pasta was not produced on Teflon-coated equipment, while the texture difference—smooth versus gritty and cloudy—offers a secondary, observable cue to distinguish between aluminum bronze processes and Teflon-assisted processes. The speaker suggests that these cues are useful for pasta lovers and encourages sharing this information with others who might be interested, concluding with a call to follow for more tips.

The primary source of BPA is in the lining of cans, unless a company has switched to an alternative lining and indicates it. BPA is estrogenic, while phthalates are antiandrogenic; both are undesirable. Manufacturers now sell BPA-free products, but often use BPS and BPF instead, which are analogs and just as harmful. Therefore, a "BPA-free" label on a can doesn't guarantee safety, as other endocrine disruptors may be present. It's better to drink from glass, ceramic, or metal vessels, but avoid cans, including aluminum cans. Metal water bottles made of steel are acceptable because they are not lined with BPA.

The speaker warns against using non-stick cookware due to the health dangers of the Teflon (PTFE) coating, which they claim can disrupt hormones and increase estrogen levels, leading to hormonal imbalance. They suggest manufacturers provide silicone spoons with these cookware sets not to protect the cookware, but to absolve themselves of responsibility if consumers ingest the Teflon and get sick. The speaker advises disposing of non-stick cookware and opting for stainless steel or glassware. They draw a parallel to hormonal contraceptives, claiming manufacturers include leaflets detailing side effects like ovarian, breast, and endometrial cancers, but patients are often not given access to this information. They state manufacturers protect themselves by providing this information upfront, even as they understand the risks involved.

#1 Toxicologist: "You're EXPOSED To Hidden Chemicals Causing Cancer & A Decreased Lifespan!"
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Dr. Vivian Chen discusses how everyday objects in the home contribute to toxin exposure, with a focus on endocrine disruptors and microplastics. The conversation unfolds as a practical ranking exercise: cookware comes up first, with Teflon-based nonstick pans identified as high-risk due to PFAS leaching, especially when scratched. Cast iron and stainless steel are proposed as safer alternatives, with caveats about iron transfer from cast iron to acidic foods and the heat handling required for stainless steel. The discussion then broadens to identify the main sources of endocrine disruptors, emphasizing plastics, BPA, phthalates, and the critical role of reducing contact time with plastic containers through glass storage and careful can usage. The host and guest explore common household items such as fragrances, cleaning products, aluminum foil, and scented products, ranking them on a risk scale and pointing listeners to resources like the Environmental Working Group for safer product choices. They stress that eliminating all exposure is unrealistic, so the goal is minimization and practical swaps that can meaningfully lower the toxin load, such as switching to glass, choosing glass or stainless steel for cooking and storage, and avoiding heating plastics. The dialogue delves into air quality and the invisible routes of exposure, including microplastics in the air from tires and indoor sources; strategies like high-quality air filters and opening windows are offered to reduce indoor contamination. They also cover lifestyle habits that bolster the body's detox pathways, including maximizing fiber intake, maintaining regular bowel movements, and exercising, which supports lymphatic and mitochondrial function. The conversation touches on detox-supportive foods like cruciferous vegetables and broccoli sprouts rich in sulforaphane, as well as the potential role of sauna, red light therapy, and sleep in facilitating detoxification. Throughout, the emphasis is on actionable, incremental changes rather than alarmism, with anecdotes about real-world effects—such as improvements in congestion and skin issues after eliminating certain products—and reminders that small, consistent steps can accumulate into significant health benefits over time.

The Effects of Microplastics on Your Health & How to Reduce Them
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, Andrew Huberman discusses microplastics, which are tiny plastic particles found everywhere, including in the air, food, and even human tissues. While there is no causal data linking microplastics to specific diseases, there is significant correlative evidence suggesting potential health risks. Microplastics can disrupt cellular and organ health and have been found in various human tissues, including the brain, testicles, and placenta, raising concerns about their impact on health, particularly for pregnant women and young children. Huberman emphasizes the importance of limiting exposure to microplastics and suggests practical steps to do so. These include avoiding bottled water, especially those that have been heated, and using reverse osmosis filters for tap water. He also advises against consuming sea salt and canned soups, which often contain bisphenol A (BPA), a known endocrine disruptor. Other recommendations include using glass or stainless steel containers instead of plastic, avoiding microwave popcorn, and being cautious with clothing that sheds microfibers. Research indicates that microplastics may correlate with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and hormonal disruptions, particularly in relation to testosterone levels. The episode highlights the need for further research into the long-term effects of microplastics on human health and encourages listeners to be proactive in reducing their exposure. Huberman concludes by stressing the importance of being informed about microplastics and making conscious choices to protect health.

Aluminum salt deodorants can clog pores and are linked to breast cancer and dementia. Over 60,000 industrial chemicals are produced annually, including harmful substances like PFOS, parabens, and formaldehydes, often not disclosed on product labels. These chemicals disrupt the endocrine system and are found in everyday items, including clothing and personal care products. The book aims to expose these invisible dangers and promote awareness of their health impacts. Research shows that persistent exposure to these chemicals can lead to long-term health issues, including hormonal imbalances and increased disease risk. The regulatory landscape is inadequate, with many harmful substances remaining untested. The conversation around these issues is crucial, as many consumers are unaware of their exposure. Practical steps include filtering drinking water, avoiding ultra-processed foods, and choosing organic options when possible. The book "Fatal Conveniences" offers solutions and encourages personal advocacy for health and safety against these pervasive chemicals.

The Worst Cookware Lurking In Your Kitchen! - How It Poisons The Body & Causes Disease | Lara Adler
Guests: Lara Adler
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Lara Adler discusses the hidden sources of toxins in our kitchens, emphasizing the dangers of non-stick cookware, which often contains PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These chemicals, linked to various health issues such as fertility problems, immune system alterations, and certain cancers, are prevalent in many households. Non-stick cookware is particularly concerning because it can release thousands of PFAS particles, especially when scratched. While the numbers are alarming, Adler suggests that we should consider all sources of PFAS exposure, including contaminated drinking water and air. Adler advocates for stainless steel and cast iron cookware as safer, more sustainable alternatives to non-stick options. She highlights that these materials are inexpensive and long-lasting, unlike non-stick and ceramic-coated cookware, which often need to be replaced frequently. She also addresses the misconception that stainless steel may leach heavy metals, arguing that the exposure levels are minimal compared to the risks posed by PFAS. The conversation shifts to plastics, particularly those used for food storage and cooking. Adler warns against using plastic containers for heating food, as heat and acidity can increase the migration of harmful chemicals into our food. She encourages using glass containers and minimizing direct food contact with plastics to reduce exposure. Adler also discusses cleaning products, noting that many contain harmful chemicals that can affect indoor air quality and overall health. She recommends simplifying cleaning routines and opting for safer, non-toxic alternatives. The discussion touches on the broader implications of environmental toxins, particularly their links to fertility issues and chronic diseases. Adler emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes and reducing exposure to harmful chemicals, particularly for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children. Finally, she highlights the significance of clean water, explaining that tap water often contains unregulated contaminants. Adler advises consumers to invest in appropriate water filtration systems based on their specific needs and local water quality. She concludes by encouraging individuals to take proactive steps in reducing their toxic exposures while maintaining a balanced perspective to avoid unnecessary anxiety.
