  Supposedly giving blood often helps remove them from your body/blood in overall levels inside you
context: Cool, I literally just got done drinking a glass of that. Altho at this point, pretty sure we are all filled with “forever chemicals”. Would be cool if companies would stop trying to poison their customers. >
  
  It’s the best orange juice I’ve ever had. I drink about a bottle a week. 
  Now I have to read up on PFAS. >
  
  Alright I think I need a list of things that are okay to ingest because I’m sure it’s only like… what… 10 items deep?
  I’m under the assumption the rest of the simply line is no better which is a shame because their apple juice literally has crack in it or something. >
  
  Yeah I have given up. Everything is poison and we are all gonna die earlier than we thought. >
  
  I have given up as well, this is the brand I buy for my kids and this freaked me out now. But what are the options that won’t kill us with something, likely none >
  
  Right? I had ppa and was insanely worried about lead. Fed my kid rice and fucking rice husks all the time, come to find out the organic brand I used tested over the limit for lead. How they didn't catch it before selling it I don't know, but unless I am going to test and grow my own food I have to assume everything could be poison and just make sure we enjoy each day cause if we have learned anything from the past 3 years it's that everything can change in a moment. >
  
  What brand? >
  
  Almost all of them sadly. You have to do research as most baby food is basically poison in the states. Google " lead level" or " heavy metals"
  You will be saddened >
  
  I'm not surprised.  Organic is more likely to use heavy metals for pesticides and all baby food I've seen is now labeled Organic.  Certain heavy metals are used as broad spectrum pesticides and are natural, so they can be used in Organic agriculture. This is often the case when the more narrowly focused pesticides (which may be safer) are synthetic, leaving Organic farms to use heavy metal pesticides in order to keep their Organic label. >
  
  Organic don't mean shit in chemistry. It only differentiates between carbon based compounds and the rest, that's it. A PFAS is technically organic cause it's a long ass chain of carbon atoms. >
  
  I'm specifically referring to the Organic label which prohibits synthetic pesticides in agriculture under the false belief that synthetic is unsafe and natural is safe. Under the Organic label, a man-made pesticide with very low toxicity is prohibited while naturally occurring heavy metals with much higher toxicity are allowed. >
  
  I just want food that isn't going to kill me, and perhaps orange juice that doesn't use flavor packs. >
  
  Highly recommend everyone sees "The Devil We Know" concerning PFAs. It mostly centers on DuPont (& Chemours, their ongoing liability spin-off). Utterly despicable and evil behavior from the executives responsible for perpetuating these forever chemicals. >
  
  That was one of the most depressing things I have ever seen, I couldn’t even finish watching.  We are doomed as a species. >
  
  r/collapse >
  
  Time to make a rival natural/health orange juice brand called "Orange you glad I didn't add PFAS?" >
  
  I Can't Believe It's Not Carcinorangenic >
  
  A bit cumbersome but we'll workshop it >
  
  I can’t believe I got cancer. >
  
  Dammit. That's my favorite brand. >
  
  I’m obsessed with Simply Limeade >
  
  Yeah, does just the orange juice give you cancer?  I got a couple bottles of Lemonade. >
  
  Everything gives you cancer. Even cancer. >
  
  Turns out it was cancer that was the real friends we made along the way >
  
  I also choose this man’s cancer >
  
  What the cancer doin? >
  
  Oh cancer, you’re what the Spanish call “El Terrible” >
  
  In my fridge right now too wtf >
  
  It’s only the tropical version. The headline is misleading >
  
  Thank you. You always have to come to the comments to weed through the bullshit. >
  
  
  Coca-Cola claimed juice was healthy despite toxic ‘forever chemicals’ levels ‘hundreds of times’ above federal limits, suit says
  
  Seriously, how is having toxic PFAS hundreds of times federal limits not illegal in the States? >
  
  Seriously? How do you control them? >
  
  By taking a years profit as a fine. >
  
  No, control PFAS >
  
  It depends where the contamination is happening. The FDA needs to take PFAS testing more seriously. Find the sources and ban them. If there's no safe way to sell beverages in plastic bottles, ban them and make everyone sell in glass bottles. >
  
  Problem is, that shit is in the water, the fruit, the soil it's grown in, the shits the underpaid and exploited migrant employees they "hire" take in the fields, and every other step of the process. Then the bottle contributes too. 
  The frightening thing is, it's probably already too late. That's not to say we shouldn't try, but it's a losing battle. >
  
  Not entirely, they’ve been making great strides in the processes of filtration in regards to PFAs as of late >
  
  Have they? Not being sarcastic or confrontational here. Just the first I've heard of it. Mind sharing some more info? >
  
  That honestly seems like a tiny amount of money to remove cancer causing chemicals from a whole city's drinking water. Like shit, with the price of medical care here, that's like the cost for 15-30 peoples' cancer treatment. 
  Not that I'm doubting you, It just really frustrates me to hear about these types of cost saving measures.  I would gladly pay a few extra bucks in taxes with the guarantee that my water would be filtered of carcinogens. >
  
  If they break the law once hundreds of times over, do you really think they didn’t again? >
  
  One of the core problems is this isn't actually a law >
  
  PFAS are now so common in the environment that companies will lobby  Congress to have it declared a basic food group. >
  
  I can see it now
  "Your honor, if ketchup can be classified as a vegetable PFAS could be labeled as an essential food group." >
  
  "It's essentially in everything!" >
  
  🎶”All the food is poison, all the food is poison…” 🎵 >
  
  Your dad’s barbecue brisket! Poison!
  Horse meat! Poison!
  Snout! Little babies! Poison!
  Fingernails! Cigarette burns! Poison!
  Scabs! Poison! >
  
  Stinks in here, smells like meat, rotten meat
  Kids why would you bring that rotten meat in here of all places?
  Kids you stupid motherfuckers
  What the hell's wrong with you kids >
  
  Love to feed my children poison. Love to literally have no choice in the matter because all of the food is poison >
  
  Send a letter to your local representative. Not joking this won't change unless USDA, EPA, and FDA are beefed up. They are a joke now >
  
  Lol the cats out of the bag tho with this shit. Teflon fucked us all. Thanks dupont again. >
  
  DuPont & 3M, 2 of my favorite companies >
  
  I knew it. That’s why I stick to whiskey. >
  
  I’m never eating or drinking again. Fuck this >
  
  Is it just the orange juice or have they just not tested the others yet? >
  
  Took an environment sustainability course in college. Basically the mentality in the US is you have to prove it's unsafe to not use it. Whereas in Europe you have to prove it is safe to be allowed. Of course this is very general sense but it shows the alarming difference. So yea they definitely have not test other stuff. >
  
  Jesus Christ that’s depressing. >
  
  Oh wait until I tell you about how rampant food fraud is. You’re probably eating sawdust regularly and whatever the fuck weeds they can find to bulk up spices. >
  
  at leasr my crayons are fine >
  
  theres PFAS in those too, and the colors are made from the tears of child slaves. Sorry. >
  
  Everything has pfas in it. We are living in a post pfas world. >
  
  Maybe if it's in my blood the vampires will pick someone else >
  
  It’s in everyone’s blood.
