forever chemicals

They're in you, they're in me, they're in your unborn baby, they're everywhere!

In 1946, the American multinational chemical company DuPont introduced nonstick cookware coated with Teflon. The family of fluorinated chemicals that derive from Teflon includes thousands of nonstick, stain-repellent and waterproof compounds called PFAS, short for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances...also known as forever chemicals.

Forever chemicals CANNOT break down naturally, so our exposure to them (most commonly through contaminated drinking water) means we literally have them in our bodies. The number of U.S. communities confirmed to be contaminated by them continues to grow at an alarming rate. As of June 2022, 2,858 locations in 50 states and two territories are known to be contaminated.

Examples of products that contain forever chemicals include:

Food Packaging: pizza boxes, food wrappers, take out containers, microwave popcorn bags, disposable trays, and bakery bags
Non-stick pans (Teflon)
Firefighting foam.
Carpets, rugs, furniture textiles, window treatments, car seats.
Stain-proof and waterproof clothing.
Outdoor gear.
Umbrellas.

Numerous studies link forever chemicals to:

Testicular, kidney, liver and pancreatic cancer.
Reproductive problems
Weakened childhood immunity
Low birth weight
Endocrine disruption
Increased cholesterol
Weight gain in children and dieting adults....etc.
