How do forever chemicals affect our health, if their main characteristic is not interacting with other chemicals?

2.13K views

When I hear talking about forever chemicals, they are usually described as “chemicals are not affected by naturally occurring reactions, and that accumulate in the bodies of living beings”. By accumulating, they cause all sorts of health issues.

What I don’t understand is how they cause these health issues. If these chemicals do not participate in regular reactions, how do they cause issues?

I am not claiming that the research in the subject is wrong, I am missing the link between “these things don’t react with anything” and “these things still cause all sorts of health problems”.

A piece of glass jabbed into your gut will not chemically react with any part of your body, but that doesn’t mean it won’t disrupt your health.
