Ever wonder what “forever chemicals” are—and why everyone’s so worried about them? In this episode of The Toxic Truth About Water, Drs. Ina and Glenn reveal the real story behind PFAS, the man-made compounds that never break down. They discuss the everyday products that contain PFAS, how these chemicals sneak into our water supplies, and why they pose serious risks to our health. Plus, they explain what’s being done on a regulatory level and how you can start minimizing exposure right now.
What You’ll Learn
- PFAS 101: Discover what per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are, how they were developed, and where they lurk in everyday life.
- Health Risks & Bioaccumulation: Learn about the long half-life of PFAS, their link to cancers, thyroid problems, and other severe health issues.
- Environmental Impact: Find out how PFAS spread globally, contaminating water, soil, wildlife—and yes, even remote Arctic locations.
- Regulatory & Personal Action: Hear about recent EPA regulations and why it’s crucial not to rely solely on municipal treatment. Empower yourself with steps to protect your family now.
Key Takeaways
- No Easy Fix: PFAS bonds require lightning-level energy to break. They accumulate in our bodies and in nature.
- Widespread Use: From nonstick cookware to stain-resistant fabrics, PFAS have infiltrated countless household and industrial products.

Ina (00:01):
Welcome to the Toxic Truth About Water, a series dedicated
to uncovering the hidden dangersin our water and how to protect
ourselves and our families.
I'm Dr.
Ina, and together with myhusband, Dr.
Glenn, we'll dive deep into thecomplexities of water toxicity.
It's impact on your health andwhy the solutions you've been
(00:22):
told about may not be aseffective as you think.
Glenn (00:25):
We'll also share the most reliable, affordable, and
sustainable ways to ensure yourwater is truly safe to drink,
cook with, and bathe in.
Whether you're concerned aboutchemical contaminants,
biological threats, or simplywant to know what's really in
your water, this is the seriesfor you.
Ina (00:42):
So let's uncover the truth together so we can live
healthier, more empowered lives.
Glenn (00:47):
Welcome everybody, and boy, this is a heavy one for me,
because this one is serious.
Ina (00:52):
I think they all are.
They're all serious.
This one, for some reason Justreally hits home.
Glenn (00:59):
Have you ever heard of forever chemicals?
These are the type of chemicalsthat are in our environment that
don't break down.
Ina (01:06):
Yeah.
So they're also known as PFAS.
So you may be familiar withforever chemicals.
You may be familiar with PFAS orthe various types of PFAS and
maybe you're very unfamiliarEither way, this is really
important information.
So PFAS are per andpolyfluoroalkyl substances.
(01:28):
That's a little bit of a tonguetwister.
And there's a large group ofthese particular chemicals that
have very extraordinaryproperties.
Now there's over 14, 000varieties of these forever
chemicals that exist in theworld.
What's really interesting is theproperties of these.
(01:52):
PFOS is that it's carbonmolecules that are bonded to
fluorine and it is such a strongbond.
It literally takes lightning,the power of lightning to
destroy it.
So what's interesting is we'veman made these chemicals and we
(02:15):
have no way to break them down.
They're called forever chemicalsbecause They last forever, not
only in our bodies, but in theenvironment.
They're bioaccumulative, so theyactually accumulate in wildlife,
in human beings.
It's actually
Glenn (02:34):
Yeah, it's very scary because they're incredibly
mobile.
They've found the particles ofPFAS in remote areas of the
world where people aren't evenreally living, like in the
Arctic.
So that's the ability of thesechemicals to actually Not only
travel through the air, but thenpermeate into our water systems,
into our foods and things thatwe're being, ultimately into our
(02:58):
bodies.
That's the key.
Ina (02:59):
So let's talk about, where do we find these?
This has become such a commongroup of chemical that's used in
so many different things fromflame retardants stain free
carpets
Glenn (03:15):
heat resistant things.
Ina (03:16):
Yeah.
So anything that's either stainresistant heat resistant or
water repellent, that's themajority of where these
chemicals are being used.
But it's in like when you get,for example, a coffee at maybe
your favorite coffee shop,Starbucks or whatever, maybe you
prefer an organic brandsomewhere.
But those coffee cups typicallycontain PFAS.
(03:38):
Your dental floss, it'sinundated in cosmetics and other
beauty products.
As I said, stain free carpeting,rain gear, wrappers,
Glenn (03:49):
everything, like food wrappers, food
Ina (03:51):
packaging flame retorants, when you go into an airplane,
loaded with these foreverchemicals.
We can go on and on with how invarious medical devices.
So these forever chemicals arebeing used everywhere.
And they actually were startedback in the 1930s, but got very
(04:18):
popular in the 1950s.
Teflon is probably the one thatmost of us are most familiar
with, right?
Nonstick cookware.
And there's been a lot ofdifferent, Other varieties of
that now there's a lot of peoplewho are conscious that look for
maybe cookware that doesn't haveany toxic chemicals, air fryers,
another place where there's alot of forever chemicals.
(04:39):
So liners and food.
Again, this is just in so manyplaces very scary.
Glenn (04:45):
And it's not just about the chemical itself and how it's
used.
Of course it is, but it's aboutwhat it ends up doing to us.
How it affects humans.
Ina (04:55):
Our health, yep.
So let's talk about some ofthat.
Because that's really, as healthprofessionals, that's the
biggest concern.
Yes, we are very concerned aboutthe environment as well.
And certainly But why
Glenn (05:08):
are people concerned about the environment?
They're concerned about theenvironment because it
ultimately affects us.
And it's our home and it's
Ina (05:14):
our home, but we're destroying it.
We're destroying the world, ourhealth, like everything.
It's all one in the same, right?
And so let's just talk aboutsome of the impacts that have
been.
already proven.
Okay.
So again, these foreverchemicals don't break down.
So when a medication or chemicalor toxin has what's called a
half life.
(05:35):
That means how long does it takeonce our bodies have absorbed
this?
Once we've been exposed to it,how long does it take to reduce
to 50 percent of that originalamount?
And these forever chemicalsscientists are indicating five
to eight years before theyreduce to half.
(05:55):
Now, They're very pervasive,right?
And this is something they'refinding forever chemicals in
every living organism.
Every living organism tested,there are forever chemicals
found.
And every forever chemical hasbeen proven to have very toxic,
(06:15):
harmful effects.
So they're finding it inumbilical cord blood.
Breast milk.
The biggest, most vulnerablepopulation are growing fetuses
and newborn babies, our childrenare so impacted by this.
Glenn (06:31):
It's impacting our wildlife and we consume some of
that wildlife.
Ina (06:35):
Correct.
It's in the fish.
It's in, all the way down thefood chain.
Glenn (06:38):
We get it.
Whether we're directly incontact with it or indirectly.
Ina (06:44):
Yep.
So we're consuming it and it'scertainly extremely abundant in
our water supply.
Glenn (06:51):
Let's talk about that for a second because, people are
familiar with drinking water andtrying to handle their drinking
water.
But this is now, it's gotteninto our groundwater.
So what's happened is it gets inthe air.
It ultimately finds its way outof the air, into the ground, and
then seeps into our groundwater.
That's how bad it's gotten overthe decades is that it's
(07:14):
permeated our planet and it's inthis groundwater and we're
consuming it.
Ina (07:18):
Correct.
So it's going into our riversand our lakes.
As Glenn mentioned, it'sactually going up even into the
Arctic where they're not evenusing these products
necessarily, but they're notexempt from them permeating
everywhere.
Glenn (07:34):
Finding a lot of it like in industrial sites, of course,
because that's where it's used.
It's even in the foam thatfirefighters put out fires with.
Ina (07:43):
Yeah.
You
Glenn (07:44):
know, so they're, can you imagine what they're exposed to?
And remember we talked
Ina (07:47):
about my Uncle Marty's, with every plus there's a minus.
And so we have all of theseconveniences, Oh, we can use
cookware where we don't have toscrub.
Oh, we get stains on our carpet.
No big problem.
Or our clothes.
We'll just dab it out.
It's all, so it's the good withthe bad.
And so let's just talk aboutsome of the health concerns.
(08:08):
So, from Reproductiveperspective, fertility issues,
hormonal disruptors, like we'rehaving that major impact.
There's a lot of differentcancers
Glenn (08:21):
cancers.
There's low birth weight we'reseeing in babies.
Ina (08:25):
Yep.
Yeah.
Birth defects.
But as far as the cancers go,all different types, prostate
cancer big impacts on liverhealth, liver cancer and kidney
function in general cholesterollevels, elevated cholesterol
levels as a result of exposureto these forever chemicals.
So it, it has a very big impact.
Glenn (08:46):
How many people do you know have a thyroid issue?
Ina (08:48):
Thyroid issues definitely connected.
Glenn (08:50):
So pervasive.
In the health community, youhave no idea and to know that,
or maybe they do have an idea.
They do.
The people who are creatingthese know.
They do.
They've now had the information.
Maybe they didn't possibly inthe beginning.
We believe, I'm not going to getinto conspiracies or things like
that.
I think
Ina (09:08):
That's actually known now.
The information about thenegative serious impact of these
forever chemicals were hiddenfrom the public.
And they were also hidden fromthe scientists.
And now there's so much exposureand transparency.
(09:28):
So now, fortunately, but I wouldsay too late, because again, if
you create something that youdon't know how to get rid of in
a way that's healthy and safe.
You got yourself a really bigproblem We have something that
We don't know how to do awaywith
Glenn (09:47):
We do know how to not use them.
So there are Alternatives there,chemical companies have come up
with alternatives that don'tcontain any PFAS
Ina (09:56):
For example, there are other ways that you can create a
stain free carpet, for example,or, repellent, and why does it
have to be in dental floss?
Once they know,
Glenn (10:07):
Once this is known information, it needs to not be
there, period.
Ina (10:11):
And in the meanwhile, the reason why we feel it's so
important to devote an entireepisode on this is because it is
something that every single oneof us need to be aware of,
because once you can't unknow,and again, like we always say,
knowledge is power, so what youdo with the information that
we're sharing with you, maybeyou'll just be a little more
(10:32):
conscious about bringing thoseproducts into your home, using
them on your body, andespecially to protect, the
younger, whether you havechildren or grandchildren that
are young or, children that are,starting to, get pregnant and
have babies, they really need tobe so careful to prevent
themselves from being inundatedby these chemicals.
Glenn (10:55):
And, our episode is on PFAS and our show is the toxic
truth about water.
And the issue is PFAS.
mostly affects water.
It gets into the water soeasily.
That becomes one of the majorways that people are exposed
every day.
So that's why we can't wait toget this information out there
so that people can take actionbecause they don't know it.
(11:17):
They don't know they're sittingand bathing in it.
They're bathing and showering inthis and they don't have to.
Ina (11:22):
And drinking it every day and cooking with it every day
and so really importantinformation.
So there's a couple of movies, Ijust want to reference because
many of you have seen one orboth of them.
And when it comes to who likewho would.
Who started all these likeforever chemicals, pretty much
DuPont and 3M are the bigcompanies that produce a lot of
(11:44):
products that contain theseforever chemicals.
And those two movies are basedon truth lawsuits regarding
forever chemicals and how thisimpacted various farms and so
forth permeating
Glenn (11:57):
the land and the water killing cattle in the one
Ina (12:00):
movie Which is regarding west virginia and dupont that
was called.
Glenn (12:05):
Dark waters dark
Ina (12:06):
waters Based on truth, I highly recommend that you watch
it and the other which wasbefore that one erin brockovich,
which many people are morefamiliar with but See them both
review them Every now and thenwe'll just watch them.
Why?
Because we want to stay doom andgloom.
No, because we do feel thispurpose in just sharing the
(12:32):
information, disseminating theinformation, to people that are,
just a lot of us, we just getlost in the sauce.
We're in our world.
We're trying to do the rightthing.
We're trying to be as healthy aswe can.
We're trying to, be happy andshed light and love and do all
the things, right?
But we forget how importantcertain things are in order to
(12:52):
sustain a healthy, happy life.
And we have
Glenn (12:54):
to take those things into our own power.
Ina (12:57):
Correct.
That's the thing.
That's right.
For sure.
I want to,
Glenn (13:00):
I want to talk a second.
There are some good thingscoming around the pike.
They're trying to, again howwe'll get rid of these PFAS
along the way.
It's hard to say that'll comeout as the technology improves.
But the EPA finally, after allthese years, this year, 2024
came out and they're legallyenforcing the regulation of
(13:21):
public water to remove PFAS.
Now I'll be honest with you,we're skeptical of the ability
for these local municipalitiesSuccessfully comply not that
they don't want to we don't evenknow if they'll be able to so
again It's the government sayingwe recognize a major problem and
(13:43):
now we need to really work onnot producing more of this
Ina (13:47):
and that's why we want to Share the information to empower
Everyone who listens to take itinto our own hands.
Like we're not just going to sitaround and wait for that to
happen.
Maybe someday, who knows what'sthe impact in the meanwhile,
right?
So that's really what we wantedto share with you guys today.
And in our next episode, we'regoing to continue exploring some
(14:11):
of the contaminants that we'rebeing exposed to and then we're
going to start getting into somebetter, more enlightening things
to help just to really, listen,there's hope this isn't doom and
gloom, it's awareness it'sagain, it's knowledge is power
and let's take that informationand, do what's best for each and
every one of us so that we canlive Long, healthy, happy, and
(14:34):
productive lives.
Glenn (14:35):
So hopefully we didn't scare you to death and that was
not our intention.
Our intention is to inform,enlighten, and educate you.
So again, we want to thank youfor joining us on the toxic
truth about water.
Please make sure to follow andsubscribe wherever you're
listening to your podcast.
This one simple step.
really helps ensure that you'renever left in the dark when it
(14:56):
comes to new information thatcomes to light.
Ina (14:59):
And so remember also like we're all in this together.
So keep on questioning, keeplearning, stay healthy and stay
informed.
Much love to you guys.
We'll see you next time.
Glenn (15:11):
See you next time.

So when a medication or chemicalor toxin has what's called a

So we're consuming it and it'scertainly extremely abundant in

Glenn (06:51):
Let's talk about that for a second because, people are

But this is now, it's gotteninto our groundwater.

know, so they're, can you imagine what they're exposed to?
And remember we talked

about my Uncle Marty's, with every plus there's a minus.
And so we have all of theseconveniences, Oh, we can use

Or our clothes.
We'll just dab it out.
It's all, so it's the good withthe bad.

There's a lot of differentcancers

cancers.
There's low birth weight we'reseeing in babies.

so that people can take actionbecause they don't know it.
(11:17):
They don't know they're sittingand bathing in it.
They're bathing and showering inthis and they don't have to.
Ina (11:22):
And drinking it every day and cooking with it every day
and so really importantinformation.
So there's a couple of movies, Ijust want to reference because
many of you have seen one orboth of them.
And when it comes to who likewho would.
Who started all these likeforever chemicals, pretty much
DuPont and 3M are the bigcompanies that produce a lot of
(11:44):
products that contain theseforever chemicals.
And those two movies are basedon truth lawsuits regarding
forever chemicals and how thisimpacted various farms and so
forth permeating
Glenn (11:57):
the land and the water killing cattle in the one
Ina (12:00):
movie Which is regarding west virginia and dupont that
was called.
Glenn (12:05):
Dark waters dark
Ina (12:06):
waters Based on truth, I highly recommend that you watch
it and the other which wasbefore that one erin brockovich,
which many people are morefamiliar with but See them both
review them Every now and thenwe'll just watch them.
Why?
Because we want to stay doom andgloom.
No, because we do feel thispurpose in just sharing the
(12:32):
information, disseminating theinformation, to people that are,
just a lot of us, we just getlost in the sauce.
We're in our world.
We're trying to do the rightthing.
We're trying to be as healthy aswe can.
We're trying to, be happy andshed light and love and do all
the things, right?
But we forget how importantcertain things are in order to
(12:52):
sustain a healthy, happy life.
And we have
Glenn (12:54):
to take those things into our own power.
Ina (12:57):
Correct.
That's the thing.
That's right.
For sure.
I want to,
Glenn (13:00):
I want to talk a second.
There are some good thingscoming around the pike.
They're trying to, again howwe'll get rid of these PFAS
along the way.
It's hard to say that'll comeout as the technology improves.
But the EPA finally, after allthese years, this year, 2024
came out and they're legallyenforcing the regulation of
(13:21):
public water to remove PFAS.
Now I'll be honest with you,we're skeptical of the ability
for these local municipalitiesSuccessfully comply not that
they don't want to we don't evenknow if they'll be able to so
again It's the government sayingwe recognize a major problem and
(13:43):
now we need to really work onnot producing more of this
Ina (13:47):
and that's why we want to Share the information to empower
Everyone who listens to take itinto our own hands.
Like we're not just going to sitaround and wait for that to
happen.
Maybe someday, who knows what'sthe impact in the meanwhile,
right?
So that's really what we wantedto share with you guys today.
And in our next episode, we'regoing to continue exploring some
(14:11):
of the contaminants that we'rebeing exposed to and then we're
going to start getting into somebetter, more enlightening things
to help just to really, listen,there's hope this isn't doom and
gloom, it's awareness it'sagain, it's knowledge is power
and let's take that informationand, do what's best for each and
every one of us so that we canlive Long, healthy, happy, and
(14:34):
productive lives.
Glenn (14:35):

not our intention.
Our intention is to inform,enlighten, and educate you.

truth about water.
