Widespread “Forever” Chemicals Boost Cancer Risk?!
We’ve known for years that the chemicals lurking in many everyday products aren’t as harmless as we once believed…
However, new research reveals an unsettling truth about one specific group of compounds that could be flowing straight from your tap into your waterglass.
And according to a new study, they could be raising your cancer risk…
Published in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, research uncovered a disturbing link between PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in drinking water and cancer risk.
These creepy chemicals are showing up in about 45 percent of drinking water supplies across America. And the communities exposed to this contaminated water are experiencing cancer rates up to 33 percent higher than areas with clean water.
PFAS are incredibly stubborn and don’t break down easily in the environment or our bodies—earning them the name “forever chemicals.” Instead, they accumulate over time setting the stage for serious health problems.
Unfortunately, PFAS aren’t limited to some remote industrial areas. These cancer-linked chemicals are everywhere—in your furniture, food packaging, and nearly half of America’s tap water.
Even more concerning, they’ve been detected in human breast milk, potentially affecting infants’ developing immune systems.
The researchers found particularly strong links between PFAS exposure and kidney, breast, and testicular cancers.
This is the first comprehensive look at how PFAS-contaminated drinking water affects cancer rates across the United States. And the findings are too significant to ignore.
Avoiding PFAS altogether is likely impossible—however, there are steps you can take to significantly reduce your exposure:
- Install a high-quality water filter
- Avoid non-stick cookware that might contain these chemicals
- Check food packaging and avoid those with PFAS coatings
- Use PFAS-free furniture and carpet treatments
Remember, while this research is concerning, you’re not helpless. The best defense is a good offense, and in this case, that means leading a lifestyle that is as healthy as you can, including a healthy diet with lots of nutrient-packed fresh fruits and vegetables.
After all, a healthy body can detox these chemicals far more easily than a compromised one.
P.S. Report warns “forever chemicals” breach skin.
