". The US water supply is contaminated with forever chemicals" every water district produces some kind of yearly lab summary.. every water source is not the same, right? so yes and, plenty of commercial bottled water is similarly unreliable that way..

"All these .. Is it any wonder that we're seeing increasing rates of cancer, depression, etc?" Those things are part of the human condition in any epoch

agree,yes, problems with long-lasting chemicals in ordinary life, for certain

To your first point, you are correct. I think Miami, FL and Philadelphia, PA had some of the highest parts per trillion when it came to detecting forever chemicals, while Seattle, WA was on the lower end.

Regarding your second point, I agree that these things are a part of the human condition, but my point is that their rates of occurrances are higher than they would be absent of the exposure to these chemicals.
