A concerning new study may have you second-guessing what's in your tap water. The U.S. Geological Survey says drinking water from roughly half of all faucets nationwide likely contains P-FAS, also known as forever chemicals. The synthetic compounds are near impossible to break down. They've been widely used in many non-stick cooking products, various food packaging, clothing, and more. Over time, they have been seeping into the environment, as well as private and public water systems, and they can carry potentially deadly consequences.
