"Link Between Blood Chemicals and Heart Damage Confirmed by Scientists"

Dutch and German researchers have found "clear" evidence that perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the blood can lead to higher levels of harmful blood lipids, potentially increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. PFAS, known as "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment, are commonly found in cookware, textiles, and other products. The study suggests that even low levels of PFAS in the general population can have detrimental effects on lipid metabolism, highlighting the need for stricter regulations and active removal of these chemicals from the environment.
