‘Forever chemicals’ linked to infertility in women, study shows
Those with higher levels of PFAS in their blood had 40% lower chance of conceiving within a year of trying

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have been found in almost everyone tested for them, with 99% of people in the US contaminated. The research was conducted in Singapore, where contamination levels are lower, but the scientists still found a strong correlation with reduced fertility.
PFAS are a group of chemicals that are water- and oil-resistant, and are used in a vast array of products, from non-stick cookware and food containers to clothing and furnishings. They are often called forever chemicals because they are very slow to break down in the environment and are now widely found in water and soil. They have been increasingly linked to health damage, including cancers and liver, kidney and thyroid disease.
Some PFAS have been banned but more than 12,000 chemicals in the class have been produced. The scientists who conducted the research called for the entire group of chemicals to be regulated.

Whether you’ve heard of them before or not, “forever chemicals” are all around us. Stain-resistant carpets, non-stick pans, mascara and even some food packaging all contain these chemicals. But while these products can be very useful to us, the chemicals they contain have a darker side. Research has shown that they’re linked to health problems, including cancer. And one recent study even suggested that in utero exposure to forever chemicals can affect a man’s sperm count and quality later in life.
Here’s what you should know about them.

You probably didn't know that you've been poisoned until you read this thread.
Unfortunately, there are laws against shoving non-stick frying pans up collective corporate asses.
