Not So Pretty

This shows you knowledge it is up to us how we use it and make a change for the better. The more we know about our daily products the better. This show is great to inform the masses of problems out there.

John oliver does a great segment on pfas. Check that out. It's super bad and yeah i like to live how our ancestors did all natural products baby! Chemicals are in everything we use thanks to these companies. If you don't buy it they can't make money! Very informative and great resources to look into. I give this review a 10 because people need to make small changes to make big changes.

Intellectually embarrassing. Demamogic narrative and lots of false information, all kept in the narrative of fear. First of all, it's the dose that makes poison. The series names ingredients that supposed to be dangerous, though they are approved by FDA as well as the EU up to a certain concentration. They name i.e.: titanium dioxide, methylene glycol or parabens. Production from 2022 repeating the myths from the beginning of the century.

There are certainly companies that cover some nasty actions and there are definitely evil companies out there, but the way information is communicated in the series is wildly ignorant.

This falls into the correlation/causation trap.

Anecdotal stories are not evidence. If you believe everything on the shelf is safe, you're horribly naive. Most things are made in China or somewhere else with fewer regulations than the US. It's a major reason corporations moved manufacturing overseas (and to get cheap labor).

So everything in moderation is a good rule of thunb.

Another pseudo-documentary to instigate fear and distrust of institutions and rules. They don't mention any serious and scientific study about what they're claiming, only some personal stories and a lot of fear inducing phrases.
