"Dietary Habits and PFAS Exposure: Uncovering the Link Through Common Foods"

TL;DR Summary
A study in the US suggests that consuming certain foods, particularly tea, processed meats, and food prepared outside the home, is associated with increased levels of forever chemicals (PFAS) in the blood. The research highlights the need to reconsider what constitutes "healthy" food due to potential contamination. PFAS are known to be harmful to health, with links to hormone disruption, bone weakening, and increased disease risk. The study aims to identify foods that may require more testing to monitor contamination sources.
