By putting "toxic chemicals" in the title along with that sentence in the body, it sure seems like they're trying to have their cake and eat it too with this article. It also lists a bunch of negative things that are associated with PFAS levels. They're toxic, and associated with a bunch of bad things, but don't worry.
> apart from being identified as potentially carcinogenic, PFAS are associated with “low fetal weight, impaired immune response, thyroid function abnormalities, obesity, increased lipid levels, liver function alterations, and, potentially, an increased risk of some malignant neoplasms.”
I suppose that most blood recipients are probably better off with increased PFAS than going without the infusion, but the article sure presents the situation clumsily.
