Joe Rogan has expressed concern over social media being used as a tool to spread misinformation on health issues.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience, the powerhouse podcaster spoke with guest Max Lugavere, a filmmaker and health and science journalist, about the dangers of toxic "forever" chemicals being found in products used by consumers.
PFAS, which stands for per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, are a class of chemicals that can be found in a range of everyday products, from toilet paper to food packaging, cosmetics and dental floss. Nicknamed forever chemicals, these compounds break down very slowly over time and stick around in their surrounding environment.
As a result, the chemicals can be found in soil, oceans and waterways around the world. A 2023 study by the United States Geological Survey found that nearly half of the nation's tap water was contaminated by some sort of PFAS.
