Study in mice finds certain gut microbes can attack long-chain PFAs (take longer to dispel naturally), taking them out of your body. "Among the most common and dangerous long chains are Pfoa and Pfna, which the microbes expelled at rates of up to 58% and 74%, respectively." Study in humans next. It can take decades for the body to fully expel PFAs naturally. #Forever #Chemicals #PFAs #no #side #effects #gut #microbes #long #short #chain #expel #micro #plastics theguardian.com/environment/20
