Do you blindly assume that big brand companies have your back when it comes to testing the safety of their products? You shouldn’t. Your health depends on it.

In the latest episode of The Darin Olien Show, I sit down with Leah Segedie from Mamavation, as we take a skeptical look at major companies, even those marketing themselves as clean and organic. We answer questions about whether they are truly prioritizing consumer well-being. Leah argues that profit motive often takes precedence over proper safety testing and responsible practices.

We discuss greenwashing and deceptive “natural” claims that are misleading marketing tactics to prey on consumer trust. We go over the fact that companies need to be more transparent and held accountable for creating safe products, putting people before profits.

Overall, we urge listeners to think critically, dig deeper when evaluating “organic” claims, and use their purchasing power to support companies that are honest and responsible. We advocate for consumers to take charge of their health by demanding better from brands
