In case you haven’t heard, Toxic America premieres tonight June 2 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN, and it’s a must see for concerned parents.
Toxic America is a special two-night investigative report with Sanjay Gupta M.D. that takes an in-depth look at how toxins affect us all. The first night (that would be tonight) focuses on the specific story of Mossville, Louisiana residents who have been struggling for decades to get government help for problems they say are related to toxic chemical plants. After a year-long study, Dr. Gupta goes on location to investigate and try to get answers.
Tomorrow night’s show is extra relevant if you’re pregnant as it takes a look at expectant mamas and the unseen toxins passed on to their children. If you think your unborn baby is safe from toxins you couldn’t be more wrong. According to CNN…
- When babies are exposed to car and truck exhaust in the womb it can result in a lower IQ at age five.
- Babies enter the world with more than 200 dangerous chemicals in their blood, including flame retardants, dioxins, substances in non-stick coatings like Teflon and hormone-like compounds found in plastic.
- Of course, in news we’ve heard before, out of the 80,000 chemicals in use in the United States, the EPA has only tested about 200 and banned just five.
It is up to you to protect yourself and your children.
Toxic America will share the latest science about how to minimize the risks of harmful chemicals found in the air, your home and in common household products, thus helping you to protect your own body and your kids as well.
Visit the Toxic America website for special features about the toxins in our world then tune in for the show tonight and tomorrow; June 2 & 3, 8 p.m. ET.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. My husband and I are starting to think about having children and we are SO concerned about all the chemicals consumed that I can pass on to our child. We recently got rid of all of our non-stick pans and plastic. I’m going to make sure to DVR this show so my husband and I can both watch it.
Thanks again!
