I know that my SIL won’t buy double-ply TP for her family because she has heard, and believes, that the adhesive is somehow harmful.
Whether any of this is harmful is pure guesswork and proven by no scientific stuudies.

I think they cause kidney problems in animals.
The article says nothing about concentrations. There are small concentrations of Arsenic in seawater along with everything else on the periodic chart. Arsenic will kill you in high concentrations. Seawater will not, and it has Arsenic in it. I find the article devoid of rational scientific analysis. It is “scare porn” motivated by politics and not science.
I forgot to add that most of these harmful chemicals are very soluble in di-hydro monoxide. We must ban this dangerous liquid least we all perish.
Grifting comes in many shapes and sizes.
I don’t remember what the chemical was, but back in college a fraternity brother was working on his thesis and had discovered trace amounts of a carcinogen in supermarket milk. He had thought that a certain chemical/plastic manufacturing plant was the source and that nearby dairy farms had been contaminated.
His advisor told him to look into other possibly contaminated foods. Sure enough, trace amounts were in orange juice. He looked at orange juice because groves were also close to the plant.
His advisor then told him to look at apple juice. My friend thought that maybe this was as a control, but surprisingly, the chemical was there as well!
What a discovery! This carcinogen had leeched its way into many of our drinks and juices! Something had to be done!
The advisor then had him collect samples from bottled water, canned soda, V-8 juice, lots of stuff, even eggs. To my friend’s amazement EVERYTHING had this carcinogen in it!
It was at this point the advisor told him to change his thesis. Even if this chemical was a carcinogen - which it may not be at the levels discovered - it was obviously everywhere and would be impossible to remove from the environment.
I wish I could remember what the chemical was...
I inherently just knew this, so I stopped cold, stopped chewing toilet paper.
Been healthy just wiping.
You guys should try it too.
Yet the lifespan of humans continues to rise
What adhesive?Two ply just has two layers there is no adhesive. She’s a loon
Great comments, agree 100%.
These PFAs (tiny plastic particles) are in our water.

I think the body removes plastic particles more quickly than PFOAs.
How in the world did we ever evolve as a species when most of our present day examples are scared of their own shadows?
It’s a wonder we are not still climbing trees on the savannahs of Africa to get away from lions and hyenas................
Maybe after eating worms and cockroaches we won’t need our toilet paper anymore.
Maybe they will come up with a new butt sweeping app on your cell phone.
When the old Chernobyl Nuclear Exclusion Zone was opened up to scientists to study the flora and fauna there after 30+ years of essentially being sealed off from human contact, they were stunned at what they found.
Animals everywhere! Al all seemingly perfectly healthy! The trees, grasses, soil and the animals themselves were all radioactive, beyond the levels considered ‘safe’. Every animal they captured, from tiny mice and birds to rabbits, deer, bear, fox and moose, were all radioactive, but healthy!
What was the cause of this weird paradox?
Eventually they figured it out.
The animals do not live long enough for the radioactivity to become a health problem. Any animal that does develop cancers or tumors, quickly becomes a meal for a predator and is removed from further deposits in the gene pool.
Only the animals that develop a natural ‘immunity’ to the radiation survive and pass their DNA down to the next generations.
So, if we ever have a nuclear war there is still hope for some life to be left alive on Earth.............
PFAs in large amounts will probably cause problems in animals and humans. The question is what amount is harmful?
Nobody is feeding animals PFAs as part of their regular diet. It’s in submicroscopic amounts in water in various places.
We run into the precautionary principle with these trace chemicals. If they can be shown to cause problems at high doses, let’s ban them down to the traceable levels, which is often parts per trillion.
Anti chemical activists do this all the time.
