    "US Food and Drug Administration rejects petition to set Pfas limits in food

    Environmental protection agency and independent studies have found food biggest source of chemical exposure.

    he US Food and Drug Administration has rejected a legal petition demanding it set limits on toxic Pfas 'forever chemicals' in food, marking another setback for public health advocates’ push to limit exposures to the dangerous compounds.

    The agency is refusing to set limits despite a growing body of science and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finding food is the biggest source of Pfas exposure. Testing has found the levels of Pfas in single servings of some contaminated foods to be equivalent to drinking many glasses of contaminated water.

    While regulators have focused on reining in Pfas in water, the chemicals are widely used throughout the food system, and there was hope that the agency under Robert F Kennedy Jr would take the threat more seriously. Kennedy leads the 'make America healthy again' (Maha) movement, of which eliminating toxic chemicals from food is a cornerstone."

  3. What actually happens when cooking oil is reused and why it matters

    When oil is heated again and again, it doesn’t just “get a little darker.” What’s really happening is a slow, invisible chain reaction. Heat, oxygen, moisture, and food particles conspire to rewrite the oil’s chem…

  5. @axios Quelle surprise. Surely, it would be news if sales didn’t drop. I’m surprised anyone would go back there, but then again I don’t understand why anyone eats there in the first place. #FoodLikeSubstance

  9. CW: Abortion / Roe v. Wade / Politics/ Big Pharma

    I don't often post about politics, but this one caught my eye.

    Ah, I understand now. The overturn is related to big pharma. Why did I think anything else?
