PFAs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)are a group of thousands of human-made chemicals, also known as forever chemicals because they persist in the environment in what seems like forever breaking down very slowly. Some can take a 1,000 years to completely disappear. Used in everything from cleaning products, cookware to carpeting, they've been found to accumulate in our bodies, including in our brains, and contribute to all types of issues. In fact, they were found in blood samples of 98% of people tested. Yikes!
Exciting new researchfinds that oats can actually help excrete PFAs from our bodies due to a powerful substance they contain called beta-glucans, also found in mushrooms, seaweed, and barley. Be sure to buy organic!
