97% of Americans have PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), forever chemicals, detectable in their bloodstream right now. That number includes newborns who have never touched a nonstick pan. It includes your children. It is the result of a sixty-year corporate cover-up by 3M and DuPont, two companies that had internal evidence of PFAS toxicity as early as the 1960s and deliberately and repeatedly chose to suppress it.
In this episode, Pamela J LaTulippe documents the full timeline of that suppression: how 3M and DuPont concealed their own scientists’ findings, funded counter-research to manufacture doubt, and shaped the regulatory environment to delay accountability by decades. Newly released research now links PFAS exposure to a 191% increase in infant mortality at maternal exposure levels previously considered safe. The regulatory delays that allowed this contamination to reach every American bloodstream were not failures of the system. They were business strategies.
This is not an environmental accident. It is the predictable outcome of corporations that calculated, correctly, that the cost of disclosure would exceed the cost of concealment, for as long as no one was watching.
This episode covers what the science now shows, what the companies knew and when, what the settlements actually paid — and to whom — and what you can do today to reduce your family’s exposure.
