      Some recent study also found that mucilaginous fiber binds with PFAS the same way that it binds with cholesterol to keep the body from absorbing it. PFAS already in your system is believed to be reintroduced to your digestive system through bile excretion, some binds with the fiber and leaves your system, the rest is absorbed.

      If you don’t eat a lot of food with mucilage, the main ingredient in Metamucil has mucilaginous fiber, as the name suggests.

      The study author in the interview I read emphasized it wasn’t like ‘take fiber for a few months and PFAS is all gone,’ she and her husband just incorporated a mucilage supplement into their diets because of how prevalent it is in the environment.

        Got link any chance? Would help me in telling my friends and loved ones to take poop pills with me because of the plastic in bodies (I’ll take my poop polls with or without a link just because I like the cut of your jib)

          I don’t think this was the exact article I read, but here’s another discussing the research: https://www.uml.edu/news/stories/2025/pfas-detox.aspx

        Yes. Also during pregnancy. A lot of it is diverted to the fetus

            Yep! It’s also a great way for the mom to remove some lead from her system. It ends up in the babies’ teeth

      Keeping in mind that you’re getting rid of the plastic in your blood by getting rid of her blood

        Well supposedly there’s enough in the tissue in your brain to make a credit card or a plastic disposable spoon depending on what article you read
