Where’s Greta?
Someone needs to tell that retard that carbon is not an environmental disaster.
She’s an honest person who really cares about the environment, so she will switch to talking about the poisons surrounding us all, that we are breathing and eating, if we can just get the message to her.
In 1953, a paper developed for cigarette maker RJ Reynolds detailed possible cancer-causing agents in tobacco, but the document would remain hidden from public view for decades. In the interim, the industry told the public: “We don’t accept the idea that there are harmful agents in tobacco.”
The chemical industry, it seemed, took note. Just a few years later, DuPont scientists found PFAS enlarged lab rats’ livers and likely caused birth defects in workers. Still, the company told its employees the cancer-linked compounds are “about as toxic as table salt”.
Like the tobacco industry before it, the chemical industry managed to keep PFAS’s health risks hidden from the public for decades. A new peer-reviewed study dissecting PFAS producers’ public relations strategies provides a smoking gun timeline composed of industry studies and comments from DuPont and 3M officials showing they knew the dangers, but publicly insisted the chemicals were safe.
“The chemical industry used the tactics of the tobacco industry to delay public awareness of the toxicity of PFAS and, in turn, delayed regulations governing their use,” the University of California at San Francisco authors wrote. “PFAS are now ubiquitous in the population and environment.”
PFAS are a class of about 15,000 chemicals often used to make thousands of products resistant to water, stains and heat. The compounds are linked at low levels of exposure to cancer, thyroid disease, kidney dysfunction, birth defects, autoimmune disease and other serious health problems. They are called “forever chemicals” because of their longevity in the environment.
The public largely would not learn of the health threat until the aughts when subpoenaed records in a lawsuit against DuPont revealed the chemicals’ toxicity and industry cover up.
The study used scientific methodology previously developed by tobacco industry researcher Stan Glantz to analyze similar documents from cigarette makers. The authors found PFAS producers and their allies most frequently employed two tobacco strategies: withholding internal studies that revealed health risks and distorting public discourse.
“All these companies … try to prevent the development of public understanding and they’re always years ahead of the public and mainstream scientific community,” Glantz said.
Between 1961 and 2006, the authors identified dozens of instances where DuPont or 3M scientists discovered or acknowledged PFAS toxicity internally, but did not publish the findings or report them to the EPA, as required under federal law.
DuPont’s chief toxicologist in 1961 found rats’ livers enlarged at very low doses of exposure, a health impact recognized as “the most sensitive sign of toxicity.” The report recommended PFAS be handled “with extreme care” and that “contact with the skin should be strictly avoided.”
Around the same time, a DuPont worker died from PFAS inhalation, which the company on multiple occasions dismissed as a rumor. Meanwhile, workers reported an “epidemic” of flu-like symptoms from Teflon exposure.
In 1970, a DuPont-funded lab found PFAS to be “highly toxic when inhaled and moderately toxic when ingested”. About a decade later, the lab killed two dogs with low doses of the chemicals. The lab also observed corneal ulcerations in newborns, and 3M, in a report shared with DuPont, “observed fetus eye changes were due to [PFAS]”.
Here’s a link to a study titled “The Devil they Knew: Chemical Documents Analysis of Industry Influence on PFAS Science.” Please send it to your elected representatives and demand that they do something about it.https://t.co/TGKbBUCsV0 pic.twitter.com/MjiFlhf0Iu

In the early 1980s, DuPont found elevated liver enzymes in 60% of workers tested, and a confidential internal report detailed birth defects among pregnant plant employees. In the years that followed, 3M and DuPont internal studies found the chemicals likely caused prostate, testicular, bladder and kidney cancers.
Virtually none of this information was shared with the public, regulators, or DuPont employees, and none of the research was published in a scientific journal. The motivation, said study co-author Tracey Woodruff, was profits.

PFAS manufacturers have continued to conceal evidence since the conclusion of the DuPont lawsuit. The Guardian in 2021 revealed how DuPont and Japanese chemical maker Daikin hid evidence of the toxicity of 6:2 FTOH, a “new generation” of an allegedly safe PFAS compound that was approved for use in food packaging in 2009. But the companies’ testing before and after approval showed the chemicals caused kidney failure, liver damage, mammary gland problems, mottled teeth and other issues in lab rats.
It’s unclear how the industry hides today, but “their history makes me think that there’s always something that they aren’t disclosing”, said Maricel Maffini, an independent consultant who blew the whistle on 6:2 FTOH.
In a normal country, you would blame the government for this.
The government’s job is to protect people from other people, and it is people that are putting poisons in the food that other people eat.
The people making these foods are not eating these foods.
They should all be in prison.
Instead…
