Billionaire's WARNING: I'm SELLING. The Crash Is Already Here!

“Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates, which... Like phthalates. Which are found in cosmetics, shampoos, food packaging, et cetera. They actively lower testosterone production in male fetuses during the first trimester, permanently stunting reproductive capacity before birth.”

“My favorite example, and everybody's favorite example, is cosmetics. Cosmetics, you don't actually eat it, but you rub it on your skin, which is the second-worst thing to do. And there are 10,000 chemicals in cosmetics.”

“Atrazine. Which the EU banned over two decades ago. If we look at cosmetics, which you were talking about then, what you put on your skin obviously goes into your bloodstream. And so the EU has banned or heavily restricted over 1,300 chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products, due to toxicity and hormone disruption.”

“run by the Environmental Working Group, a major toxic chemical watchdog. You can scan barcodes or search for food, cleaning supplies, or cosmetics. There's Think Dirty as well, which is great for cosmetic shampoos and skincare. It exposes the toxic truth hiding in beauty products. And then there's Clear Ya, which is clear, ya.”

“if they're trying to stay healthy in a toxic world? Simple advice, and I know you like this, is pregnant women are much more important than anybody else in this field. If you could persuade pregnant women, A, to have no cosmetics, save a lot of money, no cosmetics for nine months.”

“Berries, apples, pears, peaches, and funnily, spinach, are really bad. And at the top end, the bananas and the oranges and the melons are fine.”

“or all of it in buying organic berries if you have to have berries, apples, oranges, peaches, what they call the dirty dozen here. If you did that, I think as much as half of all the trouble disappears.”

“and funnily, spinach, are really bad. And at the top end, the bananas and the oranges and the melons are fine. So if you eat these damn things, they're designed to kill our cousins, the insects and the weeds.”

“Berries, apples, pears, peaches, and funnily, spinach, are really bad. And at the top end, the bananas and the oranges and the melons are fine.”

“crashing sperm count and motility. PFAs, for other chemicals. Used in non-stick pans, Teflons, waterproof rain jackets, and stain-resistant carpets. They break down in nature, accumulate in human blood, and are directly linked to lower sperm volume. And then the microplastics you talked about, the Trojan horse.”

“no cosmetics for nine months. And then B, invest some of that money from your cosmetics or all of it in buying organic berries if you have to have berries, apples, oranges, peaches, what they call the dirty dozen here.”

And lastly, the US allows titanium dioxide, used to make candy smell good, like Skittles, bright white, and synthetic dyes like Red 40, which requires strict warning labels or outright bans in Europe due to DNA damage in neurodevelopmental issues in kids.”

“you have to get to that. Typically, if you're lucky, you do one thing after another. You get the gas stove first, which is really noxious, and then you work your way, the black plastics, the Teflon frying pan, you work your way around it. Compared to that, no cosmetics, no bad fruit, or make it organic, that's a piece of cake.”

“If I could write a book that would pull a silent spring, I would sit down tomorrow and start it. The making of a permabear. PERMA should be an inverted commas, really. The perils of long-term investing in a short-term world by Jeremy Grantham and Edward Chancellor. Who is this book for?”
