Reviewed by Brad Eden, Ph.D., Independent Scholar and Librarian, Valparaiso, INDo you know what your body's toxic burden is? That is, the level(s) of industrial toxins stored in or passing through your urine, blood, and/or breast milk due to just living, breathing, and eating? The director used her own body as the film's subject, visiting numerous doctors and scientists in an attempt to measure and document her toxic burden. The result is this film, along with a strong recommendation to follow the Environmental Working Group's (EWG) Healthy Living app. The director also started a website to support herself and others interested in detoxifying their bodies at CleanerGreenerme.com>/a>. An excellent video related to how just living, as well as what we ingest in our bodies, raises our toxic burden.
