This is what can happen when disinformation prevails and a mistrust of science results in travesty and tragedy. Optimizing nutrition should never compromise health -nutrient deficiencies , unnecessary elimination without medical justification can result in unintended consequences.

Ty @Dr.Adrian.Chavez for your insight -minimize the obsession about food chemicals and instead emphasize and address the deficiencies and inequities that truly compromise and jeopardize public health. Food chemical elimination does NOT equal health optimization. #activeadvice #fuelsofengagement
