A new study has found that roughly 8,500 tons of antibiotics — almost a third of what is consumed by humans each year — ends up in the world’s rivers, even after much have passed through wastewater systems. The researchers warned that river systems globally have been contaminated with levels of antibiotic pollution high enough […]
A new study has found that eating higher amounts of dietary fiber can reduce the levels of two of the most common per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) “forever chemicals.” The researchers discovered that fiber was most effective at reducing perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), each of which can remain in the human body […]
