Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have linked per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure to impaired kidney function, according to an October 31 2024 report by Technology Networks. All signs point toward disruptions in the gut microbiome.

 
PFAS exposure has been linked to other health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic kidney disease.

PFAS are a group of manufactured chemicals that have become infamous for their longevity in the environment and the human body. Often called “forever chemicals”, PFAS are used widely in consumer products like non-stick cookware, water-resistant clothing and food packaging.
