The dental product may be harmful to health

A substance on the floss may be harmful to health. According to a study published in the Journal of Exposure and Environmental Epidemiology, perfluorinated compounds and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAS) help eliminate plaque. The problem is that in contact with the body, it is not eliminated and accumulates. Regular exposure to PFAS has prompted researchers to examine their effects on human health.

In the recent study, scientists looked at whether this substance was present in some brands of yarn and whether frequent use of these products affected the problems badociated with exposure to PFAS. The study's lead researcher, Katie Boronow, says the good news is that, based on the results of this research, consumers can choose fluorine-free brands, which could indicate the presence of PFAS.
