PFAS is nasty, nasty, nasty stuff. There is no safe level in the human body. It is toxic in the single-digit parts per trillion. And yet, we allow them to be added in massive quantities to our cookware, dental floss, and clothing. EPA is currently in the process of collecting feedback for its PFAS regulation. Attend a meeting and tell them to ban this nasty toxic garbage.

“Oh boo hoo I have to scrub my stainless steel pan a little harder cause I don’t have a Teflon pan any more.” You know what, when you don’t die of cancer at 60 due to lifelong PFAS exposure, you’ll thank me.

PFAS is the tobacco of our time, with deep-pocketed industry interests lobbying hard and spreading FUD about the risks. Let me be extremely clear on this point: It is toxic as hell and it will kill you dead in horrible, horrible ways.
