Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ called PFAS can’t be avoided - and they've been linked with health issues including a higher risk of certain cancers. Work led by Kiran Raosaheb Patil at the MRC Toxicology Unit has found our gut microbiome could play a helpful role in removing PFAS from our body. The

PFAS "Forever Chemicals" Absorbed via Human Gut Bacteria in Mice Mouse study shows human #gut bacteria can absorb #PFAS, hinting at potential pathways to cut “forever chemicals” in the body Kiran Raosaheb Patil MRC Toxicology Unit #microbiome #foreverchemicals hubs.ly/Q03vrWG30

Could gut microbes protect us from toxic 'forever chemicals’? 🧪 Scientists from MRC Toxicology Unit have discovered that certain species of microbe found in the human gut can absorb PFAS – the toxic and long-lasting ‘forever chemicals.’ They say boosting these species in our gut
