Programme Two

How Toxic Are Your Kids?

Sarah Beeny presents the programme no parent can afford to miss.

Children never used to come into contact with any man-made chemicals.

But today children are exposed to tens of thousands, and no one knows for certain what these chemicals are doing to them.

Many products we use are full of them, but many have not been tested for their toxicity.

Sarah counts the chemicals in the products the families of ten children from around the country use regularly.

She tests the child that comes into contact with the most to see if chemicals are being stored in their body, and replaces all the products the family use with chemical-light alternatives to see if she can reduce their chemical count.

And Sarah meets one family going to huge lengths to avoid chemicals in their lives by purifying their water and air, eating a very strict diet of uncooked food and making their own cleaning and beauty products.
