PFAS are synthetic compounds hard to eliminate once in the bloodstream, contributing to health issues such as fatigue and inflammation. Recent evidence suggests that improving gut health can assist in detoxification. Research indicates that including soluble fiber like beta-glucans in the diet may help carry PFAS out from the body. A study involving participants receiving a fiber-rich supplement showed a reduction in PFAS levels, highlighting the potential of dietary interventions for reducing toxic chemical loads from the body.
Participants received either a fiber-rich supplement or a placebo for four weeks, showing that dietary fiber, specifically beta-glucan from oats and barley, can effectively lower PFAS in blood.
New research indicates that the gut, rather than the liver or kidneys, plays a critical role in detoxifying PFAS, suggesting dietary approaches could be effective.
PFAS are harmful chemicals that accumulate in the bloodstream, leading to persistent health issues like chronic fatigue, inflammation, and digestive problems.
The study highlights that incorporating soluble fiber into our diets may present a viable method for reducing the toxic load of PFAS in the body.
