- Adult men commonly carry detectable levels of various per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in their blood.
- An oat fiber supplement led to a significant reduction in PFAS concentrations, particularly PFOA and PFOS.
- Higher PFAS levels were associated with elevated liver enzymes.
- The study suggested that longer studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of dietary fiber in lowering PFAS body burden.
- Oat beta-glucan fiber was assessed in the study to reduce PFAS concentrations.
