The science and history behind Teflon and the toxic legacy of “forever chemicals”.
This is long - over fifty minutes. But if you're interested in your own health....
You'll also learn why an effective EPA is a good thing.
Red Box Rules
Whatever

Derek Muller's channel, Veritasium - is the best science populariser I've come across. It covers a very wide variety of topics, and I only get lost in the math occasionally. Well... kinda occasionally. Or sometimes.
Often...
So, now everyone understands why fluoride in water is a bad thing?
BTW, the medical recommendations, at about minute 49 in the video, are to not smoke, exercise, eat a whole food diet, and get at least 7-9 hours sleep. Basically a healthy lifestyle requires living like a caveman. Encino Man should be our role model?
Pay attention to the fact that Teflon coated pots, pans, and utensils are not the problem. Teflon (PTFE) is not the problem. It's the fluorinated alkyl acids that are the problem. What I don't understand is why the alkyl acids used in Teflon production need to be fluorinated. I also don't understand why alkyl acids used as waterproof coatings need to be fluorinated. IMO that's an artifact of Bill Clinton gifting the whole global economy to neoliberal rat basterds who only care about money that has no intrinsic value. Bill Clinton turned to whole world into a Monopoly game.
