Any chemist in the world knows per fluorinated chemicals are toxic. Take a look at this stick structure of C8, every line that intersects another line indicates a carbon. Every time two fluorines attach a "V" shape to the center line a carbon atom is at the intersection. https://geoforward.com/pfoa-perfluorooctanoic-acid-c8/

They know this because per chlorinated and fluorinated compounds have been tested to be rather toxic to the environment. They EPA has known this for....ever. The chemical in aerosol cans was connected to wholes in the Ozone layer in the seventies and it was a per-chloro and per-fluorinated compound. They, the powers to be knew of the toxicity of these kinds of compounds decades before any study was conducted to prove what they already knew.

Fluoridated components are supposed to be more stable, is this not true? Why are we adding fluoride to the water then? Is fluoridating our teeth to prevent cavities a bad idea?
