Ever wonder what “forever chemicals” are—and why everyone’s so worried about them? In this episode of The Toxic Truth About Water, Drs. Ina and Glenn reveal the real story behind PFAS, the man-made compounds that never break down. They discuss the everyday products that contain PFAS, how these chemicals sneak into our water supplies, and why they pose serious risks to our health. Plus, they explain what’s being done on a regulatory level and how you can start minimizing exposure right now.

What You’ll Learn

  • PFAS 101: Discover what per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are, how they were developed, and where they lurk in everyday life.
  • Health Risks & Bioaccumulation: Learn about the long half-life of PFAS, their link to cancers, thyroid problems, and other severe health issues.
  • Environmental Impact: Find out how PFAS spread globally, contaminating water, soil, wildlife—and yes, even remote Arctic locations.
  • Regulatory & Personal Action: Hear about recent EPA regulations and why it’s crucial not to rely solely on municipal treatment. Empower yourself with steps to protect your family now.

Key Takeaways

  1. No Easy Fix: PFAS bonds require lightning-level energy to break. They accumulate in our bodies and in nature.
  2. Widespread Use: From nonstick cookware to stain-resistant fabrics, PFAS have infiltrated countless household and industrial products.
  3. Health Concerns: Thyroid disruption, elevated cholesterol, certain cancers, and more are linked to these “forever chemicals.”
  4. Take Control: Staying informed is the first step. Simple changes—like choosing PFAS-free products—can reduce your daily exposure.
