I think if people researched everything they use in day to day life they'd find allsorts of nasties in use in manufacture. Some severe paranoia going on

Agreed. Maybe if you were wearing a Teflon winter suit next to the skin for 24 hours a day for 50 years plus you might have a point but yeah you're not going to be so chill out, guess that means you don't use Teflon coated hooks too?

That's not paranoia being concerned about Dupont and its dodgy chemicals, it's hard facts with the related court cases and subsequent fines to back it up.

Not so long ago it was said that 1 in 4 or 25% of the population will get cancer, now that estimate is down to 1 in 2 or 50% of the population will get cancer. Now I'm not attributing DuPont's chemicals for all of these cancers and being the driver, to what proportion DuPont's chemicals are to the overall numbers is anyone's guess, but to just shrug it off and suggest that concern for such things is being paranoid, come on.

This should perhaps be in general conversation category,perhaps it's best you go sit in a padded room and never leave.You can't live your life scared of everything that could happen to you,you could go out this afternoon and get hit by a car or have a crash.Life us too short to worry about it all,you are here once so enjoy it and what will be will be

Genuinely I'm not sitting here like literally shaking, far from it, just pointing out the reality of this gear, that's all.

I've always thought that such things like Climate Change™ is a scam, concern about C8 and now DuPont's latest iteration is of very real and grounded concern much like Monsanto's (now Bayer) Roundup and what that does to the environment. As I've said before, considering the increase of cancer in the population that 50% will likely get it in their lifetimes, that's something worth thinking about in a rational way and as to why those numbers of 50% are so high and what the direct link is.

Good point about skin cancer, although I'd say that would be down to a weakening of magnetic fields due to polar shifts (actually happening) rather than Climate Change™ as the later supposedly is down do heating the atmosphere up and an increase in Co2 (been on a flat trajectory for the last decade so I've read recently).

I've always thought that people have got too much on their plate/have little influence with everyday living to contend with or care which is understandable (not directed at anyone at all) and when people hear of yet another thing that can possibly kill them etc, it's like one big collective yawn, I do it myself, you know like 'fat is good for you research has found', then the very next week fat causes cancer or whatever, it gets all so tiresome and also quite negative. There's a few things which I've mentioned already that I do believe are of legitimate concern. I do find it rather strange that in particular when it comes to cancer it seems there's a push to find the cure, never to deal with what's actually causing those cancers and dealing with them in the first instance.

I know you're recovering from what happened not so long ago to you which I hope you're on the mend with and things can only get better 👍

I think they've been trying to put people off smoking for a while now, as well as warning about protection from the sun.
