US study that researchers say highlights chemicals’ ubiquity also shows PFAS association with seafood and red meat

Well, shit, that's my daily breakfast...

Coffee is a critical component of that breakfast. It’s the only way you’re going to shit after eating eggs and white rice for breakfast everyday.

I guess I’m half man, half prehistoric tree matter

My wife always exclusively buys the cheapest coffee she can get.

I joke with her by telling her that this is the coffee that ten year children sweep off the floor of coffee warehouses

Now is it just the coffee bean or espresso bean too, or do they bunch both into coffee?

I won't be surprised to find out everything we eat to have PFAS in them.

What's the difference between a coffee bean and an espresso bean? I was under the impression that espresso is just a way to brew coffee beans.

You are correct. There is no difference. The two main bean types are robusta and arabica. You can make espresso with anything. Now, bags branded as espresso are generally roasted a bit darker, as espresso using light roasts is less common traditionally, but you can still make espresso with light roasts.

There are two primary varieties of beans, arabica beans and robusta. An expresso bean (arabica) is generally darker (roasted longer) with more visible oil.

People make drip coffee with Arabica beans

People didn't like my answer, so maybe this site would better explain:

Nevertheless, when you compare espresso beans vs. regular coffee beans, you’ll notice the former is always dark roasted and oily. This is not to say that regular coffee beans cannot be dark and oily. However, they can feature other characteristics as well, while for espresso beans, these qualities are non-negotiable.

Pretty sure PFAs are in rainwater and nearly every surface level water source or unconfined aquifer. So yeah nearly everything gets exposed to them.

Enjoy your breakfast, America!

Boy am I glad this didn't happen anywhere else in the world.

Well, the American company Dupont is to blame for this, but they managed to to fuck the whole world.

This is the community for American news, so...

This is the community for American news

Where do you see that?

I was not aware that America doesn't import any of these products either.

The whole reason World News exists is because this community is for American news.

I can't believe someone takes so much offense at a flippant remark about American breakfasts killing them.

They'll kill you too wherever you live. Happy?

the last time I had white rice for breakfast was when I ran out of two day old cold pizza.

I bet spam is like 5% pfas

Who cares. Even gods die.

I care about suffering. Also, gods have to live in order to die.

Exactly. My daughter will die one day. I vote and protest for climate friendly policies because I want her to die of old age instead of starvation due to widespread famine.
