Seafood could have higher levels of 'forever chemicals'
A new study says higher levels of "forever chemicals" may be in seafood. Forever chemicals are man-made toxins. They do not break down. They can stay in our blood and lead to a variety of health issues. These include cancer, and kidney and liver problems. Researchers in the USA said there should be safety guidelines for these chemicals in seafood. The level of these toxins is highest in marine creatures like prawns and lobster. This could mean people who love sushi and prawn cocktails may have to rethink their diet and eat less seafood. |
