Cancer rates Are Increasing- Removing PFAS from our Diet Water and Home Environment
A ongoing class action lawsuit from PFAS toxic water $11.5 billion dollars is available for those that have developed these cancers. As explained by clinical environmental, food and chemical toxicologist: integrated oncologist from the Subclinical Research Institute (US EU UK) Prof. Dr. Josef Dumanov, Esq. that the collection of Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large, complex group of synthetic chemicals that have been used in consumer products around the world since about the 1950s. They are ingredients in various everyday products. Consumer exposure comes from our dietary intake as they are added when being used to keep food from sticking to packaging or cookware, make clothes and carpets resistant to stains, and create firefighting foam that is more effective. PFAS molecules have a chain of linked carbon and fluorine atoms. Carbon-fluorine bonds are one of the strongest, that chemicals can not be metabolically human systemically or environmentally degraded and therefore PFAS are commonly referred to as “forever chemicals” As an environmental pollutant has been identified in many public water systems and caused contamination in many household’s drinking water. These chemicals can accumulate in the body and have been linked to many cancers and illnesses.
Due to this exposure, nearly all consumers have PFAS in their blood. PFAS chemicals are toxic and can persist in the environment indefinitely. PFAS chemicals can travel through the environment, including into drinking water sources, and accumulate in human blood. Even modest releases of PFAS can cause widespread pollution and damage. PFAS is known to cause severe adverse human health effects, including specifically an increased risk of kidney, breast, pancreas, prostate, and testicular cancers, liver damage, decreased birth weight and birth defects, decreased vaccine response, high cholesterol, infertility, and diabetes.
Although at this time there are no way of removing or clearing PFAS from our body systems Dr. Dumanov recommends is removing the many sources in the home including the source of the exposure from your environment. While PFAS cannot be removed from the body consumers must avoid the following FAS containing these categories of products:
- Non-stick cookware: If you must continue using non-stick cookware, ensure that it does not heat over 450ºF. Also, keep an eye on it when in use, and make sure to discard it once it begins to wear down
- Packaged foods: Especially those with oil-repellent coatings, such as microwave popcorn bags, fast-food packages, and wrappers for greasy foods.
- Personal grooming products: PFAS can be found in various personal and cosmetic products, including dental floss, makeup, and facial and body moisturizers.
If you or loved ones have developed any of the possibly PFAS related health disorder there are many support groups nationally to help you recover the costs of your health care.
