Bill Gates' contrails are capable of adding these chemicals to the drinking water.
Yes, your tap water needs to be filtered.
Great. Something else in the kitchen to be worried about.
Next time I get water to swallow my med pills,
I’ll think about actor Dustin Hoffman, as he sat in the dentist’s chair, with the Dentist (Lawence Olivier) repeatedly asking him (the patient) “Is It Safe?”
We don’t drink any water that has not passed through our Berkey water filter.
My household drinks water exclusively from our well. When we travel, we take our own water. I weighed 98 pounds when we married 45+ years ago. I weight 115 now and that’s after gaining up to 130 with my second child (40 years ago).
Don’t drink the city water and vet your bottled water carefully.
Ok, what are PFAS? I didn’t see the definition of the acronym.
I’m a bit torn, but this is a strictly correlative study.
The reason that I’m torn is because I’ve used Philippe Grandjean as a reference in one of my books. He’s done some very good research exposing the toxicity of fluoride.
I’m not impressed with this study. It’s a shame it didn’t include any insight into the mechanism to adverse health effect (thought to be an endocrine disruptor).
I don’t dispute a negative health impact from exposure to PFAS (in fact, I agree wholeheartedly) but this study might as well have concluded that lack of sunlight correlates to obesity.
“The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that perfluorinated alkylate substance (PFAS) exposures are associated with body weight increases in a dietary intervention study.”
It establishes nothing of the sort. The time to establish the mechanism was during the study via testing; it’s shameful, as are the conditions for the study,
“The adults first underwent a diet of 800 kcal per day for 8 weeks”
Read that again. Yeah.
Additionally, search the paper for the term “PFAS mixture”; it appears that the study participants ingested PFAS.
Again, yeah. /s “Human guinea pigs.”
The effects of this ‘study’ may well be quite interesting...
bkmk
“Water filters are capable of removing these chemicals.”
Water molecule size: 2.75 angstroms.
Covalently bonded fluorine - e.g., PFAS - molecule size: 0.72 angstroms.
I don’t think so, at least certainly not in the consumer sense. Some claim high filtration rates, but it’s physically impossible to reach some of the advertised rates of reduction (e.g., ‘93%’). Fluoride easily passes the blood-brain barrier; so do most of the >4000 other chemicals of similar structure.
Anyone interested in the latest research should note this:

One point: If we’re to eradicate a future threat - banning PFAS etc. - then it must include fluoride in water.
By the way, the feds regulate the amount of fluoride added to bottled water. Yeah, you read that correctly, and the bottlers are not required to list it on the label.
The results demonstrate that ‘purified’ bottled waters can’t eliminate the fluoride...or that it’s added post-filtration.
