Bewerkt & bespoten: hoe giftig eten we echt?

Van ultrabewerkt voedsel tot bespoten aardbeien en kraanwater dat je zou moeten filteren: op socials lijkt alles wat je eet of drinkt een tikkende tijdbom. Maar wat moet je hier nu écht van geloven? In deze aflevering duiken. Tom en Alexander ontrafelen de hardste claims over ons meest normale dagelijkse eten en drinken. Met wetenschap als filter, niet met paniek. In deze aflevering: 🥫 Ultrabewerkt voedsel veroorzaakt dementie 🍓 Er zit veel pfas op fruit en groente en dit is schadelijk voor je gezondheid 🧴 Microplastics veroorzaken gezondheidsproblemen dus drink uit glas. 🚰  In Nederland moet je je kraanwater filteren om gezond te blijven.  Tom stelt de vragen, Alexander fileert de feiten. Zodat jij voortaan weet: wat is een terechte zorg voor je gezondheid, wat is overdreven angst en wanneer je TikTok beter even kunt wegklikken.🎧 Geproduceerd door Tonny Media👉 Volg ons op Instagram, TikTok en YouTube🥼Alle onderzoeken die in deze aflevering worden besproken vind je hier: Onderzoek:  Pagliai G, Dinu M, Madarena MP, Bonaccio M, Iacoviello L, Sofi F.
