New research shows a link between PFAS, or forever chemicals, and increased risk for thyroid cancer.
Forever chemicals are present in many products, including cleaning products and water-resistant fabrics. Thyroid cancer is often diagnosed in adults at a younger age than most other adult cancers, according to the American Cancer Society.
PFAS first came into widespread usage in the 1940s and 50s in products like non-stick cookware, stain resistant fabrics, firefighting foam and even some cosmetics. They leak into the soil, water, and air over time, and because of their"forever" nature they take a very long time to break down, which leads to increased exposure. More than 90% of Americans have some trace of these chemicals in their blood.
