The latest research funded by the US government sheds light on a concerning correlation between exposure to certain chemicals and an increased risk of hormonally driven cancers in women. This study, utilizing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), highlights the potential health risks associated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and phenols, commonly found in... 

A recent report published by the US Geological Survey has revealed concerning findings about the quality of US tap water. According to the study, nearly 45% of all tested tap water samples in the country contain at least one type of toxic endocrine-disrupting chemical known as polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). These chemicals, often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their... 

New research published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters reveals in-depth how deadly per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are leaching out of plastic containers and contaminating the food products they contain. Confirming what earlier research also found, the study focused on the tendency of PFAS to contaminate various pesticide products via the plastic... 

More than half of popular cosmetics being sold in the US and Canada are likely to contain high levels of toxic chemicals called polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a new study has warned. Researchers from Notre Dame University tested more than 200 products including concealers, foundations, eye and eyebrow products and lip products, and found evidence of PFAS in around half (52 per cent) of them. Worryingly,... 

Toxic chemicals were found in 100 percent of breast milk samples from U.S. mothers, a new study found. Researchers tested 50 samples and all came back positive for PFAS, man-made chemicals that don’t break down in the environment and have been linked to several health problems. Known colloquially as ‘forever chemicals’, PFAS chemicals contain compounds that can taint soil, pollute...
