Ep 057 - In Our Food: GMOs

In this episode, we dive into all things GMOs, or Genetically Modified Organisms. What are they? Should we be concerned about them? How do they affect our food and our bodies? We discuss all that and more!

But first, Behind The Counter, we look at the solvent most commonly used as a paint stripper that the EPA recently banned.

Plus, we celebrate the amazing, inspiring story of Professor Richard Scolyer, the cancer researcher that made incredible breakthroughs in Melanoma... before being diagnosed with a glioblastoma (brain cancer).
