Synthetic Food Dyes and MCS: Rebecca Bevans, Ph.D.
The newest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast is available now! It's called “Synthetic Food Dyes & MCS.” Researcher and psychology professor Rebecca Bevins tells Aaron Goodman how she discovered her son’s extreme reactions to synthetic food dyes — petroleum-based additives linked to anxiety, aggression, and cognitive disruption. Their conversation reveals the impacts of everyday chemicals, something people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) are very familiar with. Plus, Aaron explores the momentum that could potentially follow the American Medical Association’s recent acknowledgment that fragrance sensitivity can, in some cases, be disabling.Thank you for listening!

The Hazards of So-Called "Safe" Fragrances: Gertrud Morlock, Ph.D.
In the latest episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, we uncover what people with the illness already know — there is no such thing as safe fragrance.I speak with Professor Gertrud Morlock from Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany. You'll hear her share:What her lab found when screening 42 perfumes.Why fragrance formulas are shielded as trade secrets, and how even small amounts can be toxic. How ethanol in perfume enhances skin penetration and persistence.And what “unscented” / “fragrance free” labels really mean for people with MCS.Professor Morlock's 2025 paper:"Fast Unmasking hazards of safe perfumes":https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021967325003073One more thing:Wendy Kearley is someone many of us know. She has lived with debilitating Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) for decades.Wendy has devoted her life to researching and sharing vital information about MCS.Wendy recently lost access to her Facebook account.She needs our help to get critical and non-toxic dental care.Please find a like to her Go Fund Me Page, and please consider contributing to support Wendy.https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-wendy-restore-her-smile-and-healthSupport the showThank you very much to the Marilyn Brachman Hoffman Foundation for its generous support of the podcast.If you like the podcast, please consider becoming a supporter!

MCS & Third-Party Accommodations
For people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), this is often our reality: We're told the illness isn’t real — it's just in our heads — and the law refuses to protect us.In this episode of The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast, Professor Doron Dorfman, a disability law scholar at Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, New Jersey, in the U.S., explores how:People with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) face discrimination because courts often dismiss fragrance-free policies as unreasonable.No-smoking rules and peanut-free zones could serve as examples for fragrance-free policies.Fragrance-free policies are truly not an administrative burden, as some argue.And more! I'd love your help. I’m running a short listener survey to understand how The Chemical Sensitivity Podcast can best serve people with MCS. It’s short, will help guide our next steps, and allow us to grow the podcast and create greater awareness about MCS. Thank you for your support!
