Good reason to stick with scotch.

The people who pee in the beer vats must have a lot of PFOS and PFOA in them from drinking the local water.
But no research that PFAs are linked to any health issues?
Especially near Cape Fear, North Carolina!...................
BRAVE AI:
PFAS Health Links
Research has linked exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to a range of adverse health effects. Strong evidence supports associations between PFAS exposure and increased cholesterol levels, particularly with PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, and PFDA.
There is sufficient evidence for a link between PFAS exposure and decreased antibody response to vaccines, with studies showing associations for PFOA, PFOS, PFHxS, and PFDA.
PFAS exposure is also associated with changes in liver enzymes, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and small decreases in birth weight.
Furthermore, there is sufficient causal evidence for an association between PFAS and kidney cancer, with suggestive evidence for testicular and breast cancer.
Other potential health effects include pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia, thyroid disease, and altered immune function.
The National Toxicology Program has concluded that PFOA and PFOS are hazards to human immune system function.
Me too, don’t drink any less either, but that’s beside the point.
Did the ACS or whatever the f they call themselves, have anything to say about the Covid jab? I’ll bet “safe and effective”.
Exactly, nothing solid. We went through this in upstate NY. With millions of people affected, no tangible connections and no deaths attributed to pfoa. They have managed to extract BILLIONS from companies to manage it supposedly.
IPAs with PFAs for my PTSD is a PITA.
“Forever chemicals” are the newest scare phrase to get people to click on health articles. I read one where it said most people have enough plastic particles in their heads (due to drinking from plastic bottles) to create a plastic spoon.
Never did.
Alcohol has a very bitter taste to me.
But think of the "tell" in this prose.
---- "The authors acknowledge funding from an internal research grant from RTI International."
Research Triangle Institute, operating as RTI International, is a nonprofit organization headquartered in the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, USA.It is "a global publisher of peer-reviewed, open-access books, reports, and briefs." And it seems quite the "globalist," in orientation.
It's a billion-dollar "charitable" organization --
President Tim J. Gabel -- $ 1,238,271 plus $168,915 "additional"Peeling away layers about this entity, one finds from an older source, circa 2013:

What does one find about RTI today?
"RTI International is a large, North Carolina-based, non-profit research corporation. According to its 2004 annual report, RTI's largest source of income is U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contracts. More than one-third of its $509.5 million in 2004 income came from USAID."Yes, it does."USAID’s website is completely blank and the agency’s funding frozen despite a court order. Last week, RTI International announced 'temporary layoffs' due to an absence of U.S. foreign assistance. A nonprofit research organization, RTI stands to lose millions more if a significant cut to National Institutes of Health grants withstands court challenges.
"The federal government is RTI’s main client overall, accounting for 84% of its total revenue in 2022 and 2023."

And as to this thread and the SciTechDaily -- "The authors acknowledge funding from an internal research grant from RTI International."

Messaging from RTI and biz op's from ScTechDaily's other half. Probably not the best source, after all?
I also don’t drink any more. But I also don’t drink any less
Glad I hate the stuff. I don’t like drinking what tastes like bitter yeast.
Husband, however, loved it - we were forever visiting local craft breweries when we traveled - he got to drink my tasting samples as well
Thank God for iced tea.
