In this episode, Celia Bulgarelli interviews Tamara Rubin, the founder of Lead Safe Mama, a resource dedicated to testing consumer products for lead and other toxicants. Celia shares her personal journey as a new mother navigating the complexities of safe products for her child, emphasizing the importance of Tamara's work in providing science-based information. Tamara discusses the alarming lack of regulatory standards for many consumer products, particularly in the food and personal care industries, and highlights the need for parents to be proactive in testing and choosing safer options for their families.
