In this episode, sponsored by the American Cleaning Institute, Jess welcomes Dr. Joe Zagorski, a toxicologist at Michigan State University's Center for Research on Ingredient Safety (CRIS) to discuss microplastics — specifically what the science actually shows, where legitimate concern ends and marketing-driven panic from "all natural" brands begins.

In this conversation, the experts also breakdown what terms like "natural," "plant-based," and "biodegradable" really mean, and how to tell the difference between a legitimate safety concern and a brand using your anxiety to sell you something.
