Americans have grappled with the consequences of PFAS exposure for a long time, though even now, new health issues are being linked to the forever chemicals. A medical journal recently conducted a study on diabetes and its potential association with PFAS. After comparing 180 participants with type 2 diabetes to 180 without, the correlation became clear. Those who had type 2 diabetes had a far larger concentration of PFAS in their blood.
Vishal Midya, one of the leads on the study, indicated that PFAS exposure correlated with a 31% increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Midya told Medical News Today “PFAS, primarily due to their chemical structure, can interfere with how the body stores and regulates fat, and consequently, how the body controls glucose”. Further study will be required to corroborate the journal’s findings, but it indicates yet another way in which the forever chemicals compromise our body’s ability to fight disease.
