A PSA about PFAS (natural, cause, compound, period)

[Cida]

Wanted to post this warning I just read about:


What to Know About PFAS in Period Underwear
Thinx just settled a lawsuit alleging its products contain harmful chemical compounds, raising further questions about the safety of period products overall.
PFAS may contaminate anything they touch (including food wrapped in packaging containing PFAS) and they do not degrade naturally, nor can our bodies metabolize them, Dr. Mahalingaiah said. Instead, they accumulate in our bodies and in the environment, polluting soil, air and water.

No real evidence that they cause any harm at all...That same chemical inertness that makes them slow to deteriorate away in the environment probably makes them inert and innoucuous to our bodies also.

But then again, I never use them in my panties, so what do I know?
