Study finds dietary fiber effectively cuts levels of two most common and dangerous Pfas, with more research planned
* Sign up for the Detox Your Kitchen newsletter
Consuming higher amounts of fiber reduces levels of toxic Pfas “forever chemicals” in human bodies, a new peer-reviewed pilot study suggests.
The research found fiber most effectively reduces Pfos and Pfoa, among the two most common and dangerous Pfas. Each can stay in bodies for years, and federal data shows virtually everyone has the chemicals in their blood. Continue reading...

In that sense this scene from the record long, almost Fidel Castrolike joint address last night is symbolic: the Southern maga speaker of the House in the almost all white male Republican Party tossing out a Black Texas Democrat surrounded by his diverse caucus, for standing up for Medicaid.

Remember the saying that capitalism eventually collapses into fascism? Well American democracy and capitalism are quickly collapsing into a bad reality show starring a bunch of odd characters from conservative media, daytime TV and right wing podcasts, all covering for what sure looks like a heist.

Right, it’s totally fine that Dems want to talk about eggs a little. But what we’re seeing instead is the collapse of America into authoritarianism, while Democrats… obsess over the most mundane issue imaginable, because in their heads it checks all the boxes that make it safe to care about

Ronald Reagan was a horrible president who demonized marginalized communities, gutted the welfare state, enriched cronies, and committed a laundry list of impeachable crimes. I long for a Democratic Party that rightly understands that a comparison to him should be an insult.
