Episode 30: A PSA about PFOA. The non-sticking chemical, stuck to you.

Did you know, you have a chemical used to create Teflon inside of your blood stream right now? Yes, you. Reading this. This week we talk about a very real problem and how we almost didn't even know about. Thankful for a farmer, a lawyer, and a grandmother, we learn about DuPont chemicals and the negligent toxic dumping that lead to a global problem. This episode goes great with a shot of vodka.

Below you'll find the linked articles mentioned in the show!
