Love scented candles? You might want to check what’s actually burning in your home. According to Dr. Eric Topol, MD - one of the most cited medical researchers in the world, some candles may emit “forever chemicals” (PFAS) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air you breathe. Here’s what that means 👇 PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) don’t break down - they can accumulate in your body and are linked to hormone disruption, immune issues, and cancer. When candles made with synt
