This paper confirms what many of us already suspected: PFAS contamination is essentially universal.
The researchers found detectable levels in 98% of blood samples tested, with higher concentrations correlating with:
- Proximity to industrial sites
- Use of non-stick cookware
- Consumption of fast food (paper packaging)
What this means
The half-life of some PFAS compounds in the human body is measured in years, not days. This isn't something you can "detox" from quickly.
The focus should be on reducing ongoing exposure rather than trying to eliminate what's already there.
