Tiny gut “sponge” bacteria found to flush out toxic PFAS “forever chemicals”

Cambridge scientists have spotted gut bacteria that greedily soak up PFAS “forever chemicals,” then ferry them safely out of the body in animal tests, removing up to three-quarters of the toxins within minutes. Their findings hint at probiotic pills that could shield people from PFAS-linked cancers, fertility issues, and heart disease while lawmakers scramble to rein in 4,700 widespread compounds.

    It will quadruple revenue - deregulation and PFAS for everyone!
    Hope you can afford regular sponge bacteria cleansing baths, or you get them super-cancers real quick.
