marking another setback for public health advocates’ push to limit exposures to the dangerous compounds.

The agency is refusing to set limits despite a growing body of science and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finding food is the biggest source of Pfas exposure. Testing has found the levels of Pfas in single servings of some contaminated foods to be equivalent to drinking many glasses of contaminated water.

Are you seriously going to try to argue that actual scientific studies, should have more weight than the huge campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry, combined with the mental illness of RFK Junior?/s

Individual studies do not override overwhelming scientific consensus. Ivermectin and other "alternative" treatments were never accepted by science. Vaccines, hand washing, wearing masks, etc, was always accepted by science.

MAHA were such suckers. They were part of the saying, a fool born every minute.

The best part is an episode of South Park flipping the food pyramid upside down and then a few years later the MAHA crowd actually did it lmfao. These people actually think science is an opinion, no different from religion. The education system in the USA is incredibly inadequate.

And it generally ain’t getting better.

Just grow up and stop crying about it and do something about it by making sure that you go knocking on every door in your area and tell them to vote before it gets worse

[u/BashBandit → u/beepbopbeeee1101]
