Study finds exposure to 'forever' chemicals in household products leads to liver cancer
Fox News
A new study published by the Keck School of Medicine found a correlation between regular exposure to "forever" chemicals and liver cancer.
"Forever" chemicals is a term used in reference to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) found in consumer and industrial products. The chemicals break down slowly and embed themselves into human tissues, especially the liver.
"This builds on the existing research, but takes it one step further," said Jesse Goodrich, a postdoctoral scholar at the Keck School of Medicine. "Liver cancer is one of the most serious endpoints in liver disease, and this is the first study in humans to show that PFAS are associated with this disease."
