Toxic PFAS Chemicals Linked to Weight Gain and Dieting Struggles, Study Shows

A new study has found that PFAS, or "forever chemicals," in drinking water are contributing to obesity and making weight loss harder. The study found that increased concentrations of PFAS caused weight gain after an initial diet. PFAS are widely present in the environment and consistently found in human blood, and are linked to an array of health issues. The EPA recently lowered acceptable levels of PFAS in drinking water due to their danger.
