A recent study warns that a diet high in seafood may increase exposure to environmental contaminants like PFAS. Researchers surveyed New Hampshire residents on their seafood consumption, finding high PFAS levels in shrimp and lobster. The study suggests that PFAS exposure from seafood could have negative health effects, such as reduced immunity and increased cancer risk. While seafood is a good source of nutrients, especially for vulnerable populations like pregnant women and children, there are currently no federal guidelines for safe PFAS consumption. Establishing safety guidelines would help protect those most at risk from pollutants in seafood.
