      The article says nothing about PFAS. It states that bakers' parchment paper is treated with silicone.

        But the truth is that a parchment paper is impossible without PFAS.

          That is not true. Especially since TFA clearly dates the invention of parchment paper to 1847, nearly a century before the synthesis of PFAS.

          How so? Parchment paper is cellulose impregnated with silicone.

          The tl;dr of an article should be about the article.
