Carcinogenic Chemical Found In 99% of US population. (LISTEN TO FIND OUT HOW TO AVOID IT!)
If you're an American you probably have a deadly chemical in your blood. Watch this video to find out what it is and what you can do to avoid it along with other actions you can take to help solve the problem.Â
In this episode, we are joined by Kyla Bennett from PEER.org an organization that assists government employees who blow the whistle on various Environmental and Health problems.Â
Kyla talks about a type of harmful "forever chemical" which has ended up in 99% of American's blood at detectable levels. Just 70 parts per trillion are considered dangerous by the EPA and yet it's found in everyday consumer products, firefighting foam, and it's now been shown to be inside barrels that many pesticides are stored in which results in it getting in our food and water.Â
It can cause deadly diseases like cancer in humans not to mention huge damage to aquatic and semi-aquatic animals like fish and frogs. Please share this information to help raise awareness so that this problem can be solved ASAP!Â
This topic isnât fun or cheerful but we can't lose hope and forget our power to influence business and policy just by changing our consumer habits. Thank you for doing your part! đ¤đÂ
Were you already aware of this? What do you do to avoid this chemical? What do you think we can do to help solve the problem on a governmental level? Let us know in the comments!Â
