I mean a Manhattan is already a cocktail. I guess it would just be a large Manhattan.

Seven out of eight US kale samples recently tested for toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” contained high levels of the compounds.

The testing looked at conventional and organic kale bought at grocery stores across the country, and comes after Food and Drug Administration analyses conducted between 2019 and 2021 found no PFAS contamination.

The findings “stunned” researchers who expected to find low levels of the chemicals, said Robert Verkerk, founder of the Alliance for Natural Health non-profit, which produced the paper.

PFAS are a class of about 15,000 compounds typically used to make products across dozens of industries resistant to water, stains and heat. They are called “forever chemicals” because they do not naturally break down, and are linked to cancer, kidney disease, liver conditions, immune disorders, birth defects and other serious health problems.

The new paper found levels as high as 250 parts per trillion (ppt), though no limits for PFAS in food exist in the US. However, the Environmental Protection Agency has found that virtually no amount of exposure to some PFAS compounds in drinking water is safe.

America sucks?

Is this the thread to talk about how my produce lasts about 1.-1.5 days before it starts getting moldy?

Is there a proposed mechanism by which these would get into the water cycle? Interest group publishes paper not replicated elsewhere, news at 11.

That said, someone made a "grill basket" that's non-stick. Exposing teflon to open flames and then eating the affected food is a no from me.

Other than apparently DC, what parts of the US have coke that isn't contaminated with Fentanyl?

What's the procedure here? Bump of coke followed by a Narcan chaser? Local health department handing out test strips for tranquilizers?

Raise your hand if you had Britney Spears vs. Victor Wembanyama as the top story of the year going in to 2023.
