PFAS exposure is linked to high cholesterol, cancer, thyroid problems, immune system dysfunction, low infant birth weight, and hormonal disruption.

“As I've discussed before on this podcast, these PFASs, or forever chemicals, like Teflon, have been linked to major health issues such as hormone disruption, gut microbiome disruption, fertility issues, and many other health problems.”

“PFOA can cause: + endocrine, immune, and metabolic disruption + potential risk of kidney and testicular cancer”

“PFAS are "forever chemicals" that refuse to break down, bioaccumulating in the body and bloodstream.”

“there's evidence linking some pfases to health issues like high cholesterol cancer thyroid issues immune system problems low infant birth weights and completely destroying your hormones”

“these chemicals have been linked to liver damage harm to the immune system developmental issues cancer and they can persist in people's bodies and in the environment for many years”

“now pfoa is only one type of forever chemical also known as pfas these are compounds that accumulate in the environment accumulate in your body disrupt your hormones and are potentially implicating cancer”

“They accumulate in your body. They're endocrine disruptors. They're called forever chemicals because they're persistent in the environment and it's pretty hard for your body to get rid of them.”

“PFAS—“forever chemicals”—linked to hormonal disruption, immune dysfunction, and cancer”

“Exposure to these chemicals has been linked to low birth weight, effects on immune system, cancer & thyroid disruption.”

“PFAS chemicals are especially concerning due to their long half-life in the human body, lasting 2-5 years. This means repeated exposure can lead to compounding effects over time.”

“PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they can remain in the body on the order of years.”

“while that might sound reassuring the problem is we are exposed to these chemicals almost constantly so our bodies are in a near continuous state of processing them but this is where it gets even more complicated so past again these are forever chemicals do not break down easily so unlike BPA or phalates the pasts have a half-life of 2 to 5 years”

“remember past are called Forever chemicals because they are very resistant to degradation in fact the half-life in our bodies is from 2 to 5 years it's the cumulative effect of these exposures that's a growing concern”

“exposure to past has been associated with immune system suppression thyroid dysfunction and increased risk of certain cancers”

“unlike BPA or phalates the pasts have a half-life of 2 to 5 years meaning they accumulate in our organs like the liver and the kidneys”

“then there's the past so these are the perr and poly floral alkal substances they're often called Forever chemicals I'm going to refer to them as past throughout the podcast but the reason they're referred to as forever chemicals is because they resist breaking down in the environment and they accumulate in our bodies over time so pasts are used to make products resistant to water oil stains they imp they appear in things like non-stick cookware water repellent clothing and even food packaging”

“they are referred to Forever chemicals they are particularly troubling because they have half- lives that are several years long meaning they persist in the body and accumulate over time so pasts have been linked to a range of health issues including hormonal disruptions immune system effects even certain cancers”
