Research shows that gut bacteria might assist in eliminating harmful PFAS chemicals.

Gut Microbes May Help Combat Toxic Chemicals Recent research indicates that gut bacteria might aid in protecting people from harmful, long-lasting chemicals often referred to as “eternal chemicals.” Scientists from the University of Cambridge have found that specific gut microbes may assist in eliminating toxic PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from the body, based on […]

Gut bacteria may help shield against harmful 'forever chemicals': Research

Recent research highlights that specific microorganisms in the human gut can absorb harmful “eternal chemicals,” or PFAs, from their environment. In experiments where scientists introduced these microorganisms into the intestines of mice, they discovered that the bacteria quickly accumulate compounds that the mice ingest. The study noted that these eternal chemicals, classified as single and […]
