How One Company Secretly Poisoned The Planet - our latest video, ad-free!

The history of Teflon and exposing the biggest chemical cover up in history - that has polluted the entire global water system and led to potentially dangerous forever chemicals being found in the entire US population.

Thank you for having an ad-free option where I can pay YOU and not YouTube!!!

This video has really supercharged my knowledge on teflon and forever chemicals! The video mentions "links in the description" at 42:37, can you please add those here as well?

Like Robin, I was also impressed by the thorough coverage of the PFAS/forever chemical story and signed up. I saw the film Dark Waters a while ago and was already familiar with Robert Bilott's remarkable and gargantuan efforts but I've never read a good technical summary of the main pollutants, how common they are and the real risks of them as we understand them now. PTFE rarely gets discussed bar the recommendation on avoiding high temperatures for pans. I note some things have been changed/reformulated like Gore-Tex, Scotchgard and perhaps some ski waxes but the information or detail isn't always great for products. BTW, there's something afoot at IUPAC to potentially narrow the definition of PFAS.

Eurofins (the people that did our blood tests) also do a bunch of other tests - including for food and drinking water https://www.eurofinsus.com/environment-testing/pfas-testing/services/

Outstanding video!

This video convinced me to start paying for membership. Thank you for the information both in the video itself and in the show notes, especially the links. I'm going to order a blood testing kit. Tell me, do you have a link for a water testing kit? I'd love to test the creek that flows through my backyard.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the content!

Every single one of your videos satisfies my yearly dose of watching TV

Great video! Thanks for doing this, especially with the new administration. Unfortunately I was aware of this many years ago from an uncle who was a chemical engineer for DuPont and he’s who taught me about it.

Don Shuford

Great Video!!. Is there an available way to test our water and food for PFAS

This was great and I love your content
