About this episode
Monica addresses listener questions about food safety concerns related to microwave popcorn, PFAS, microplastics, and mold in oatmeal.
872. Social media is full of alarming food lists: staples a cancer survivor swore off, ingredients a nutritionist says to toss immediately. In this episode, Monica works through three listener questions that share a common thread -- microwave popcorn and PFAS, microplastics in chewing gum, and whether mold makes oatmeal a risk. She sorts the legitimate concerns from the inflated ones, and explains why cooking your oats for 10 minutes won't do what a viral claim promises.
