The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
so you want air chilled chicken but they actually don't have it here so even this organic chicken yeah it's not ideal but it's the best you can do here yeah may contain up to 5% retained water
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

You guys heard me talk about the importance of getting an air chilled chicken in the grocery store because most chicken is put in a chlorine bath. The other option is getting a small farm chicken.
So, if you want chicken, which I don't eat much of anyway, you want an air chilled chicken because the retained water in the chicken is from a chlorine bath. And so, 5 7% retained water means you're eating chicken with a bunch of chlorine and other disinfectants in it in your
So, if you want chicken, which I don't eat much of anyway, you want an air chilled chicken because the retained water in the chicken is from a chlorine bath. And so, 5 7% retained water means you're eating chicken with a bunch of chlorine and other disinfectants in it in your chicken.
Air chilling of the chicken prevents that completely. So what they have here is red bro chicken, eight weeks old, forage organic mix of regenerative ingredients. I think it's corn and soy free, they said, but I got to confirm that. If not, they're moving toward that. And it's air chilled. So it's a completely different type of chicken than what you're getting in most grocery stores.
So, if your chicken doesn't say air chilled, it's put into a cooling bath. It's chilled in a bath. That bath is full of chlorine. It's potentially full of other chemicals which are all going into the chicken. And 7% of the chicken, that's a significant amount. Is that water full of chlorine? I don't want to be eating chicken that has chlorine, other compounds that are antimicrobials like parasitic acid, cetal paradenium chloride, which is a coronary ammonium compound, tricodium phosphate. These can all end up in your chicken.
Which means unless your chicken says it's air chilled, it is full of chemicals and chlorine that are absorbed in the chicken when it is chilled.
Over here, the regular chicken thighs have up to 9% water retained from the chilling process.
So, this is organic chicken from Costco, it's not air chilled. Up to 7% water retained from the chilling process. But it's not just water. It's chlorine, which isn't good for you, plus other chemicals that are in the chicken from when they chill it.
Did you know that even organic chicken can be dunked in a chlorine bath and have up to 12% retained water from the chilling process?
when you're buying chicken, make sure that it's organic and air chilled.
So the only chicken that I would eat is air chilled chicken.
If I were gonna shop for chicken, which I almost never do, I would want air chilled chicken.
