The Hazards of “Forever Chemicals” and How To Help Get Them Banned, Part 1

Rob Verkerk, Executive Director of the Alliance for Natural Health USA joins us to discuss the hazards of “forever chemicals”—perfluoroalkylated substances—also known as PFAS. A crowd-sourced project enabled ANH to test random samples of kale—both conventional and organic—and detected concerning amounts of PFAS contaminants. Why are PFAS so ubiquitous in the environment? What are their health impacts? Why haven’t the FDA and EPA highlighted their presence in the food supply? Why is it imperative to call for an outright ban on these dangerous industrial chemicals?
