A NEWER “FOREVER CHEMICAL” IS NOW SHOWING UP MOST OFTEN IN PET FOOD
A new peer-reviewed study found 10 different PFAS (“forever chemicals”) across 39 commercial pet foods. Even more surprising, the most common wasn’t one of the older PFAS you’ve probably heard about. It was GenX, a newer replacement chemical linked to liver, immune, hormone, and developmental problems in animal studies. Researchers also found that pet food contributed far more PFAS exposure than tap water for most of the chemicals they measured.
What can pet parents do?
🐾 Choose brands that actively monitor for environmental contaminants.
🥦 Feed a balanced, minimally processed diet that contains adequate fiber, which helps reduce the reabsorption of some PFAS in the digestive tract.
💧 If PFAS contamination is a concern where you live, use clean, filtered drinking water for both you and your pets.
Addressing food-borne contaminants is another reason Dr. Karen Becker formulated Liver Lift™. It contains nutrients involved in the liver’s normal detoxification pathways, including N-acetylcysteine (NAC), glutathione, milk thistle, broccoli sprouts, glycine, and TUDCA, to help support healthy liver function and the body’s natural detoxification processes.
Every exposure may be small, but it can add up over a lifetime. Reducing unnecessary exposure is one practical step you can take.
