Collagen may or may not help your skin, but it does hurt the planet

Collagen supplements are everywhere – from pharmacies to supermarkets to the lips of celebrities singing their praises. Fábio Zuker is a journalist and anthropologist, and he joins host Krys Boyd to discuss his investigation into where collagen originates and how it threatens both the Amazon and the indigenous people who call the rainforest home. His article, written with Elisângela Mendonça and Andrew Wasley, is “Collagen craze drives deforestation and rights abuses” and was published by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
