*Tacoma Food Co-op presents: Toxic Chemicals in Food: Health Impacts and How to Reduce Exposure* Wednesday, Sept. 9, 7:00pm - 8:30pm *Center for Spiritual Living, 206 North J Street, Tacoma* Many consumer and personal care products are useful in our everyday lives, but contain chemicals that disrupt hormones. These endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) have effects that are fascinating, alarming, and far-reaching. Find out how EDCs get into our food, disrupt hormones, and harm human health, and why children are especially vulnerable. Attendees will have the opportunity to brainstorm on how to reduce our exposure and the exposures of our families to these toxic chemicals, e.g. buying organically grown fruits and vegetables. Dr. Fran Solomon is an environmental biologist with a Master’s Degree in Environmental Health and a Ph.D. in fisheries from UW, and 25 years of experience in environmental agencies. She is a professor at The Evergreen State College Tacoma campus and Western Washington University.
