What are PFAS and Why should we Care?
It is not the first time that we discuss about PFAS and their dangers. They are synthetic compounds used in non-stick cookware, food packaging, and textiles. They persist in the environment and accumulate in the human body over time. Recent studies show that PFAS exposure is nearly universal, raising serious health concerns.
New Evidence: PFAS and Teen Health
A groundbreaking study published in the Environmental Research found that each doubling of blood PFOA levels increases the odds of fatty liver disease (MASLD) in teens by nearly three times. This condition can lead to long-term metabolic and liver complications.
Other research link PFAS exposure to:
Higher blood pressure in teens
Cognitive and developmental effects
Increased risk of chronic disease later in life
