What are your thoughts on Berkey water filters. I am considering one for my family. We rent, and I don't want to permanently install or alter anything in the kitchen. Also, electricity is expensehive 😂 Another thing is my guilty pleasure of waffle making. I haven't seen any that fit your criteria (heck, I'd settle for finding an electrical waffle maker without a nonstick coating. Or even one that I can plop onto my induction cooker. 😢

I've always thought wearing shoes in the house is super weird. I have noticed it seems pretty common in the USA

[@dryvonneburkart]

It seems to be cultural. I was the only person in my group of friends growing up who took their shoes off at home. Then I noticed it in Europe too 👀

[@emh8861]

Wearing shoes is so uncomfortable!

[@jonesie8377]

@@dryvonneburkartDefinitely cultural. We were never allowed to wear shoes inside either (It’s very common for Caribbean cultures)

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

this is probably one of the most mind boggling details about american culture. I want to take off my shoes any chance I get, its super uncomfortable and actually really bad for your feet orthopedically. also best way to get smelly feet... And it's super unhygienic. Why tf do people do this? This is barbarous... Edit: Come to realize, I even switch my street clothes to more comfortable sweatpants and sweatshirts immediatly upon entering my home. I don't want those yucky germs in my house...

[@MaryJane-de5tc]

I've always thought that you walk on some really dirty stuff outside, specifically maybe dog or cat waste. It really grosses me out to think of walking in my home with traces of feces and urine on shoes. I've never understood how others don't think of this

[@human1513]

In Canada it is considered rude to not remove your shoes before you enter a house. apartment, condo,... You will get stopped and reminded immediately. This keeps dirt, mud, crime, insects,...from getting all over the floor, carpets, furniture,... Laundry detergents also contain carcinogens, cancer causing.

[@cecileroy557]

Not in Quebec!!

[@canuck21]

@@cecileroy557 I concur. I live in Quebec and quebecers don't really ask to take off your shoes, but I have the impression that the culture on the matter is changing. More and more Quebecers are asking to take off the shoes.

I would love a video deep diving on mattresses 😱💕

[@dryvonneburkart]

Great idea! Thank you

[@angeladansie4378]

I am happy to report that very few of these products are in my life. I have always liked traditional housewares, so my pans are mostly cast iron, though I do have some Gotham Steel pans that are ceramic coated. I don't use any silicone or teflon style bakeware. I don't have any carpet & my floors are either concrete or unfinished pine. My walls are done in raw pine. Only my kitchen is sheetrocked & painted. I don't buy any modern furniture that is all synthetic products & glues. I like old real wood furniture. Our well is 360 feet deep from an aquifer that comes from deep in the Rocky Mountains. I don't take my shoes off because I am in & out frequently doing ranch chores, cutting firewood, etc., but there has never been ANY herbicides or pesticides used anywhere near our 160 acres of wild sagebrush prairie. The worst I'll track in is some horse & chicken poo & a little bacteria doesn't worry me. I don't use many cleaners & what I do use is pthalate free, mostly Dr. Bronner's hemp oil soaps & vinegar. I haven't had a new car since 1990, partly because it's a waste of money but also because that long lasting "new car smell" is toxic off-gassing. As are air fresheners. My one toxic product that I knowingly conceded to is my memory foam mattress because I have beat up my body so badly that it's the only thing I can get comfortable enough to get a good night's sleep on. I figured "pick your poison." Good luck on the detoxifying your home journey all. It's worth it!

My problem is that I stocked up on a lot of detergent & other products when I kept hearing about inflation coming…now I wish I hadn’t stock piled potentially toxic items. Thanks for the information. When I look on the backs of products it’s still unclear to me which chemicals are the bad ones.

[@dryvonneburkart]

That’s ok unless you’re reacting to it. The purpose of this video is to inform of the ingredients of concern to help consumers make informed decisions going forward. I used conventional products for most of my life and didn’t change until I struggled with the health effects of a high toxic load.

Thanks for watching! Yes carpets can be coated in PFAS for stain & water resistance. Ceramic and solid wood are optimal flooring materials imo. Cork is another option but it can get dented.

If we can't afford RO water filter, can we simply boil tap water & drink? Will boiling tap water make it more toxic by melting the microplastic in it? I'm very confused! Pls advice, TIA

[@dryvonneburkart]

New research shows that boiling water can reduce micro and nanoplastics & adding lemon before boiling reduces toxic disinfection by-products. It’s unclear if the addition of lemon would affect microplastic removal though. One could try boiling plain water, add lemon once cooled and boil again.

[@SG-xb7de]

@@dryvonneburkart Thank you for your response. I have heard that re-boiling can increases the concentration of toxic substances in water. May be that's why, leftover tea is considered poison if reheated, & is discarded. I'd try addition of lemon & hope it won't turn the water bitter or super sour.
