It's crazy they haven't banned them. 3M's forever chemicals are in every living thing on the planet, literally. Even if you never went near one of their factories or anything they produced, it's in you.

At first they knew it got into the blood of all living things. Now we have tests proving links to cancer, immunodeficiencies, obesity, and other health effects, but still no ban. Babies are born with forever chemicals in them - in fact babies drastically reduce the traces of the chemicals in their mothers because they absorb it during gestation. Farms have tested their horses and live stock, every. living. thing. Crazy.
