"Health Expert Warns Against Eating Snow After Reese Witherspoon Controversy"

Nutritionist and Registered Dietician Harriet Skevis warns against eating snow due to potential contamination from air pollutants, soil chemicals, and other contaminants. Snow can collect dust, pollen, and chemical pollutants as it forms in the clouds and descends to the ground, making it unsafe to consume, especially during snowstorms. Skevis advises against eating discolored snow and recommends using filtered ice for treats instead, as consuming contaminated snow can lead to health risks, particularly for children with low immunity.
