Except for one thing: poverty forced us to live in the forest because we couldn't afford to live in town. That social isolation was hands-down the worst and most long-term harmful thing that I ever experienced. Poverty can also be poison.

The study looked at concentrations found in "professional" (restaurant) doses of the chemicals.
I'm not sure how much it applies to residential dishwashers. I did find that ingredient in my rinse aid and dishwasher pods.

I might start skipping the rinse aid and I'll seek out dishwasher pods that don't have that ingredient.
But apparently it's more od an issue with "professional" (restaurant) dishwashers, which use less water and more chemicals. I gathered this from other comments and I don't know if it's true.
