Quotes:
Forever chemicals are legit, they are a real thing, they're a real issue and they're bad enough that now our government is finally starting to respond to the risk factors,
If our government is finally making some changes about chemicals that have been used in our products or food, you know that it's bad because they like to hide and avoid everything.
They knew that PFAS were toxic by 1970, and they've covered it up for decades. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's for real.
Not only do these chemicals are forever chemicals because they are forever in you; they don't break down easily in nature, they don't break down easily in you.
Receipts, unfortunately, are one of the fastest ways of getting fiber chemicals into our bodies.
