Help me nostr! A few days ago a report came out by our public health agency after which they warned to avoid eggs produced by people who keep chickens as a hobby because they contain large amounts of PFAS.
I have fully read the report but don't hsve enough knowledge to detect potential flaws.
Concerns:
- No place in the country is apparently safe.
- Apparently eating 1 egg a day already crosses safety margins (set by the EU). (I eat at least 5 a day)
- Commercially produced eggs are safe.
Why I am skeptical and questions that i have:
- They were mostly wrong with their covid spread modelling and vaccine advice.
- How come pasture foraging chickens on commercial farms seem to be fine?
- Are these safety limits overblown? I know nothing about PFAS and what safe limits are and what risks they pose when consumed in larger quantities?
- Do you think i should avoid eating eggs by hobbyists?
- Am i being psy-oped?
