Back in 1983 the FDA thought when polyethylene is treated with fluorine and used for food/beverage containers, the PFAS quantities were 'insignificant'. Now, #forever toxic PFAS is a known serious health risk. We stand with EDF Center for Food Safety @EWG 📢📢to FDA: Time to

Congratulations Cynthia! Dr Kripke, breast cancer survivor, said: "We wrote in our report that ... 6% was likely to be a serious underestimate, that cancer due to environmental chemicals [pollution] was likely to be a much larger problem ........" - still true!!
