A new study has found high concentrations of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a toxic “forever chemical,” in cereal-based foods across Europe. The research, conducted by Pesticide Action Network Europe (PAN), revealed that breakfast cereals contained average TFA levels 100 times higher than those found in tap water, making them the most contaminated food category tested. TFA forms when pesticides containing PFAS — a large group of persistent industrial chemicals used since the 1950s — break down in soil and water. PFAS are known for their extreme longevity, often remaining in the environment for centuries. Their potential health risks are increasingly recognised,…

In his video message, Hislop urged men not to wait for symptoms and to get tested regularly. He…

Meta removes under-16 users ahead of lawMeta has begun removing Australian children under 16 from Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. The company acts one week before the national youth ban takes effect. Last month, Meta informed users aged 13 to 15 that their accounts would close starting 4 December. Around 150,000 Facebook accounts and roughly 350,000 Instagram profiles are expected to be affected. Threads also restricts young users because access requires an Instagram login. Australia’s new law, effective 10 December, mandates platforms to block under-16s. Companies face fines of up to A$49.5m if they fail to comply. Meta calls for stronger…
