Episode Synopsis

Who would drink a cocktail of chemicals? When you put it like that, no one. But in our environment we are exposed to a mixture of chemicals all the time; we ingest them through food and water all the same. When these chemicals mix together, they create the "cocktail effect," meaning the effect they can have on health may be different than their individual effects. Dr. Andreas Kortenkamp is pushing for a change in the way chemicals are evaluated, so that their risk to health is assessed in mixtures and not just individually.
