I guess a notable leap of implication the article makes is that it kind of claims that the chemicals - which are indeed found in all of our bodies - come into our bodies from use of the everyday items that contain these chemicals, and by extension, that avoiding their use would reduce the amount of these chemicals that enter your body.
This is not actually established properly in the article, though. It could very well be that the chemicals are released during manufacture, a process where it is well established that people get poisoned by working with these things, and that the chemicals then enter all living organisms and finally make it into us through our food.
It's highly alarming either way, of course.
