    There's water in beer. It's in the water. We're down the street is if you give blood it lowers your levels.

  • Considering Alcohol is a carcinogen AND hepatoxin it's pretty surprising they went looking for PFAS at all lol

    So, 75%.

    So it is odd that there's a higher concentration of pfas in beer than water, generally. Maybe it's an issue with Milwaukee, WI

    "PFAS Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a group of synthetic organofluorine chemical compounds that have multiple fluorine atoms attached to an alkyl chain; there are 7 million known such chemicals according to PubChem. PFAS came into use with the invention of Teflon in 1938 to make fluoropolymer coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. They are now used in products including waterproof fabric such as nylon, yoga pants, carpets, shampoo, feminine hygiene products, mobile phone screens, wall paint, furniture, adhesives, food packaging, firefighting foam, and the insulation of electrical wire."
