Title: Scientists discover cancer-fighting bacteria that "soak up" forever chemicals in the body

EMILY JOSHU STERNE, SENIOR HEALTH REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

A family of healthy bacteria may help 'soak up' toxic forever chemicals in the body, warding off their cancerous effects.

Forever chemicals, also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), are toxic chemicals that have been linked cancer, infertility and birth defects.

They're named because they don't naturally break down in the environment or the body.

Instead, they leech from plastic containers and nonstick cookware into food and build up in vital organs, increasing the risk of organ failure, infertility and some forms of cancer.

Dr Kiran Patil, senior study author and toxicologist at the University of Cambridge, said: 'Given the scale of the problem of PFAS "forever chemicals," particularly their effects on human health, it’s concerning that so little is being done about removing these from our bodies.

'We found that certain species of human gut bacteria have a remarkably high capacity to soak up PFAS from their environment at a range of concentrations, and store these in clumps inside their cells.

'Due to aggregation of PFAS in these clumps, the bacteria themselves seem protected from the toxic effects.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge found nine different strains of healthy gut bacteria may lower forever chemical levels by up to 74 percent

PFAS are thought to be endocrine-disrupting chemicals, meaning they imitate the body's hormones and interfere with the production of - and response to - natural hormones like estrogen and testosterone.

This increases the risk of developing hormone-sensitive cancers like breast and ovarian cancer.

The study, published Tuesday in the journal Nature Microbiology, looked at samples of 38 healthy bacteria in the gut.

The researchers measured the effect of bacteria on levels of the forever chemicals perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and perfluorooctanoate acid (PFOA).

PFOA is considered a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), meaning it causes cancer in animals. PFNA, meanwhile, is a Group 2 carcinogen, suggesting it may cause cancer in animals.

Over the course of 24 hours, nine of the tested bacteria reduced exposure to PFNA by 25 to 74 percent and PFOA levels by 23 to 58 percent.

For both types of PFAS, Odoribacter splanchnicus lead to the greatest reductions. It's thought to produce the short-chain fatty acid butyrate, which boosts metabolism and immune function.

The team believes PFAS latch onto the bacteria and are excreted out of the body through the stool.

The researchers are now working on developing probiotic supplements to increase levels of these healthy bacteria in the gut.

Dr Indra Roux, study co-author and researcher at the University of Cambridge's MRC Toxicology Unit, said: 'The reality is that PFAS are already in the environment and in our bodies, and we need to try and mitigate their impact on our health now.

'We haven’t found a way to destroy PFAS, but our findings open the possibility of developing ways to get them out of our bodies where they do the most harm.'

How about Polychlorinated biphenyls and Mercurous chloride AKA Navy Formula 184F Antifouling compound.

I've got a bucket of some kind of sprouting seeds in the dungeon with my survival food. I should bring some up, it might be good in ramen noodles or something.

I've got a tomato about ready on my plant. I miss those in the winter.

mastic agent orange (or blue or green depending on the color of the barrel band). The cable dispensers on the mk57s would drip the stuff over anything below them, we used $75 per roll of super special 3M tape to try to seal them shortly after that the weapons were removed from stock. The solvent of choice to clean the stuff was toluene we got that in 55-gallon drums.
