Support the show at Patreon.com/yourdietsucksThere is no plastic spoon in your brain (unless you put one there). There is no credit card in your diet. We regret to inform you that this does not mean everything is fine.Both of those numbers came from real studies, and both got mangled somewhere between the paper and your feed. Kylee walks through what actually survives scrutiny, where the fertility conversation outruns its evidence, and why the BPA-free sticker on your Nalgene is not the reassurance you think it is.Zoë traces the whole mess from exploding celluloid billiard balls to Life magazine throwing a party for disposability in 1955. We get into why humans are catastrophically bad at judging exactly this kind of risk, how much you should actually be thinking about it, and the one exposure source that matters more than anything in your kitchen drawer.Nobody needs to panic about their hydration strategy.

Definitely don't buy the $300 filter from the guy who could be regulating this instead.SponsorsThis episode is brought to you by rabbit, whose new women's collection is built for people who actually run in it. runinrabbit.com/collections/womens-new, code SUMMERSNACKS10 for 10% off.Tailwind Nutrition got us through this one. tailwindnutrition.com, code YOURDIET20 for 20% off.Microcosm Coaching works with athletes who want to train and fuel without the shame spiral. microcosm-coaching.comLinksEvery episode and full transcripts: yourdietsuckspodcast.com/your-diet-sucks-podcastBonus episodes, Kylee's weekly nutrition question thread, and a group chat that will never try to sell you a binder: patreon.com/YourDietSucks
