They're everywhere; and now, also in most all human blood. The chemical industry claims some are safer than others, but where's the proof? Below is a must-see clip, and below that are my notes. [Sorry, no time to write them out in proper sentences.]

per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances - a few thousand different ones - in Teflon, Scotchgard, fire retardant fabric, cosmetics, paper plates, fast food containers, ski wax, guitar strings, & many other products. Liver damage, cancer, endocrine/hormone disruption, neurological damage, & more. "Forever chemicals" which bioaccumulate.
DDT was banned in the USA. So were CFCs and PCBs. ALL PFAS should join that club. Wake up, politicians. Stop kow-towing to the chemical industry.
