Forever chemicals found in American beer — the worst is brewed in this part of the country

A recent study discovered 95% of beers across the US contain forever chemicals, which have been linked to cancer and other health issues.

Published May 26, 2025, 'While the study did not disclose specific beer brands, it identified that beers brewed near the Cape Fear River Basin in North Carolina exhibited the highest levels and most diverse mix of PFAS.

Beers from St. Louis County, Missouri, also showed significant PFAS presence.'

has anybody done anything about this yet?

What Are PFAS Chemicals and Why Are They Called ‘Forever Chemicals’?

PFAS chemicals, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are a group of man-made compounds widely used for their water, grease, and stain-resistant properties. Found in everything from non-stick cookware to food packaging and firefighting foam, PFAS chemicals are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down naturally in the environment or the human body. Over time, they accumulate and have been linked to serious health risks including cancer, hormone disruption, and immune system issues. Growing concerns around PFAS chemicals have pushed for stricter regulations and safer alternatives. Understanding their presence in everyday products is the first step in making informed, eco-conscious choices.
