BPA—the forever chemical. Phthalates—the everywhere chemical. These are some of 16,000+ plastic chemicals. Many are endocrine disruptors—harming hormone health and causing serious health conditions. Read the science from @TheEndoSociety and IPEN. ipen.org/documents/endocrine…

The parallels to ingested asbestos are striking. Asbestos has been regulated in American water since 1992. Cancer. Health Canada maintains there insufficient evidence to show that drinking asbestos, from old water pipes is harmful. How does that work? @PreventCancerNw

Asbestos cement (AC) water pipes in 🇨🇦 are also verrrrrrrry slowly gaining recognition. The U.S. has regulated asbestos in water since 92. How can drinking asbestos cause cancer in Americans, and not Canadians? 🧐 @senatorbrazeau #Cdnhealth #ACpipes archive.epa.gov/water/archiv…
