The prevalence of PFAS in pesticides and how to avoid them.

Forever chemicals, or PFAS, are known for their persistent ability to remain in nature and the body for years, and have been associated with serious health effects. While it's difficult for the average consumer to avoid products with PFAS, there are steps you can take to minimize exposure from the foods you eat. These include cutting back on fast food, avoiding nonstick cookware, storing leftovers in glass containers, and drinking filtered or bottled water. Additionally, check the source of the fish you eat as PFAS have been widely detected in freshwater fish.
