Today, we’re exposed to more chemicals than ever in human history. Forever chemicals like PFAs are present in our air, water, and soil. And while the extent of this exposure is only recently coming to light, there is a dark and troubling story behind our chemical exposure—which involves companies prioritizing profit and convenience over human health.   

On today’s show, we’re going to unpack one of the biggest environmental scandals in human history. You’re going to learn about the history of one of the most prevalent and detrimental chemicals: Teflon.

You’re going to learn how to upgrade your kitchen with non-toxic alternatives, and how to protect yourself and your family from harmful forever chemicals.
