These chemicals contain many fluorine ions as a part of their molecular structure. This is what gives them their ability to keep things like water, fat and protein from sticking to them, as well as their ability to lower the surface tension of liquids.
In the human body, these properties are unwanted, slightly speaking. These molecules screw up pretty much everything at the cellular level—worse, they tend to accumulate in internal organs, which slowly makes them more and more water-repellent and non-sticky.
Imagine having your liver and kidneys try to do their thing with those molecules everywhere interfering with the entire organ structure as well as the movement of fluids.
