PFOA and Teflon

 This is the first review of videos which hopefully will not be the last. This video provides entertainment but also is educational. It is based upon the true story of a lawyer's 20 year battle to make people aware of the dangers of teflon produced by the Dupont company. Teflon is a combination of carbon atoms with fluoride. Teflon is also known as PFOA or C-8. PFOA was discontinued in cookware around 2014 but it is still used for other things and levels exist in virtually all people. Fluoride is a potentially very toxic compound which many people think is safe and helpful for prevention of tooth decay. Fluoride is present in some teas, toothpaste, and drinking water in fluoridated cities. Fluoride can interfere with iodine utilization which is critical for thyroid function.
