Synthetic chemicals which can cause cancer are contaminating our drinking water and farmland, and have been found in breast milk and embryos.
Why is the British government so slow to regulate against them? Why are higher levels of polyfluoroalkyl substances allowed in our drinking water than in other countries?
They're in many products including noon-stick pans and fire-fighting foam - but there are alternatives.

Hi listener. I thought you might enjoy Don Anderson's podcast. Missing Pieces - NPE Life is a podcast that curates stories of and about people who find out, usually through a home DNA test, that someone in their family tree isn't who they thought. They also tell stories of adoptees who've found lost family, or are looking. The host, Don Anderson, found out in 2021 that his dad wasn't his dad. It changed his life. NPE stands for Not Parent Expected or Non Paternity Event.
