Three New Forever Chemicals Are Coming to Your Grocery Store

You may know our family's story by now. In the fall of 2015, Serene's son Arden was doused with glyphosate on a cell tower maintenance job; within months he was diagnosed with hyper-aggressive Hodgkin's lymphoma.

It wasn't normal; it was a turbo cancer that showed up only where he had spilled the glyphosate. Seven years later, he walked out the other side. (If you didn't get a chance, watch the full story here.) We've told the story, but we'll keep telling it. It's just our family's experience, not "courtroom proof." But our story is driving the fire to speak out for other families. And that leads us into a broader conversation. Some chemicals have just been approved here in the US and you should know about them. They're known as forever chemicals according to the international definition, and they are coming to your local grocery store.
