PFAS found in all breast milk samples, risk to immune system

Breast milk from all participants in a study contains PFAS compounds. These are artificial substances found in many products that researchers are concerned about. Some samples even contained PFAS levels above the risk threshold, according to the source.

According to the source, these substances may potentially affect the immune system of infants. PFAS are often called 'forever chemicals' because they do not break down in the environment. They are found in, among other things, waterproof clothing, cutlery, and packaging.

The study comes from a party that is not further identified. The source reports that the results give cause for concern. There is still no clarity on the exact consequences for babies who are breastfed.
