S2 EPISODE 6 | Dr Jennifer Kay: Could chemical cocktails be increasing our risk of breast cancer?
Manage episode 490355417 series 3635154
This Week The B Well Club podcast is tackling the impact of everyday chemicals with Dr Jennifer Kay of the pioneering Silent Spring Institute, a research organisation dedicated to uncovering the environmental causes of breast cancer. The average person is exposed to huge numbers of chemicals on a daily basis, which in turn form chemical cocktails, the true health implications of which are not fully understood.
In a fascinating discussion with Breast Cancer UK CEO Thalie Martini, Dr Kay explains how her work could help scientists to scan and identify large numbers of potentially toxic chemicals, and the importance of regulating not just individual chemicals but chemical mixtures.
