I think that we both have the same number of Nobel Prizes.

I see a parallel between the controversy over DDT and these claims about common chemicals in consumer products. The issue is troubling and worthy of close examination on the merits.

The 'forever chemical' cover-up exposed: Makers of toxic PFAs - found in everything from frying pans to clothes - suppressed studies showing chemicals may cause cancer and birth defects for DECADES, new report claims

● Researchers found internal alerts over the chemicals were raised in 1961

● But this didn't become public knowledge until the 1990s, some 30 years later

Toxic forever chemicals linked to cancer and autism are found in EVERY baby toy, clothing and bedding tested in new study

● Many common baby goods are contaminated with dangerous PFAS chemicals linked to cancer

● Researchers say that these chemicals are ever-present, on many products and near impossible to avoid

● Researchers at EWG believe that the contaminant is present on all 34 goods that they tested

● Theses chemicals have been linked to cancer, autism and other developmental issues
