1:03:58Now PlayingToxic PFAS chemicals are expanding across the country, actively affecting our water and food supply nationwide. A shocking study reveals nearly 40 percent of California produce contains these harmful “forever chemicals,” proving this is a coast-to-coast dietary threat hitting home at your local grocery store.
In this episode of "The Truth of the Matter," Hena Doba sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning Chicago Tribune investigative reporter Michael Hawthorne. They expose decades of corporate cover-ups, severe testing delays by state regulators, federal backtracking on safety standards and why everyday taxpayers are ultimately forced to carry the crushing financial burden of the cleanup.
