The following is an excerpt from a Medpage article.
Doctors need updated guidance from the federal government on “forever chemicals,” according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
EWG criticized the 2024 guidance from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry for not fully incorporating recommendations from a 2022 National Academies report…
Exposure to PFAS, found in contaminated food or water, has been linked to health issues such as increased cholesterol, cancer, and lower vaccine antibody responses. The chemicals are commonly used in nonstick cookware, water-resistant fabrics, and personal care products.
The CDC issued guidance in January suggesting clinicians test patients’ blood for PFAS exposure. The FDA banned PFAS in fast-food wrappers in February, and in April, the Biden administration finalized limits on PFAS in drinking water.
Other recommendations include:
- Double EPA funding for PFAS
- Protect drinking water from additional PFAS
- List PFAS as hazardous air pollutants
- Ensure new PFAS are safe before market entry
- Ban PFAS incineration until proven safe
- End PFAS in food packaging

Sharyl and Lisa—and Full Measure Team,
And we ignore ALL bread products
containing this PFAS—BROMINE
(( replacing life-protecting IODINE,
used before 1973 in bread produc-
tion—ASK why bromine replaced it )).
Some bread makers advertise “Non-
Bromated,” which this scribbler buys
from a local BREAD market.
Bromine has become a fire retardant—
in clothes, furniture, and bedding.
The Medical Mafia purposely makes
us sick—in order to sell us their
pharmaceuticals.

It seems to me like all she does is defend Trump so what is really going on here
Playing fast and loose with hormones, especially with children, is a candidate for your list of chemicals that are poorly understood by doctors. While ordinary men as well as athlete stars are judged negatively for using testosterone replacement (TRT) to increase T levels, this drug is heartily distributed to young women seeking to alter their sex. Similarly, depriving themselves of T in their quest to change their sex, men risk equally serious health effects of low T. Dr. Thomas O’Connor, a board certified US internist has written and lectured on this hormone for several years. His book,
“America on Steroids”, describes the cultural and medical issues surrounding T and other steroids. (Yes, T is an anabolic steroid.) thanks for your work. True progress!
