Eating more seafood may increase exposure to forever chemicals, but experts advise against avoiding it completely.
While seafood offers heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein, a new study suggests it could also contribute to exposure to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), nicknamed "forever chemicals" due to their persistence in the environment.
Researchers at Dartmouth College in the US highlight the need for stricter guidelines on safe seafood consumption, considering PFAS alongside existing recommendations for mercury and other contaminants.
"We're not saying to stop eating seafood," emphasized lead author Megan Romano, an associate professor of epidemiology. "It's a valuable source of nutrients. But we need to be aware that it might also be a source of PFAS exposure, especially for pregnant women and children."
The study analyzed PFAS levels in commonly consumed fish and shellfish like cod, salmon, shrimp, and tuna. Shrimp and lobster contained the highest concentrations, with some samples exceeding 3 nanograms per gram for certain PFAS types.
PFAS are linked to potential health risks, so understanding this trade-off between the benefits of seafood and potential PFAS exposure is crucial for informed dietary choices.
