Only if your exposure in the future is less than in the past. Otherwise it will just go back up again. And considering plastic use is going up, you would have to use air filters and avoid micro plastics as much as possible.
Some recent study also found that mucilaginous fiber binds with PFAS the same way that it binds with cholesterol to keep the body from absorbing it. PFAS already in your system is believed to be reintroduced to your digestive system through bile excretion, some binds with the fiber and leaves your system, the rest is absorbed.
If you don’t eat a lot of food with mucilage, the main ingredient in Metamucil has mucilaginous fiber, as the name suggests.
The study author in the interview I read emphasized it wasn’t like ‘take fiber for a few months and PFAS is all gone,’ she and her husband just incorporated a mucilage supplement into their diets because of how prevalent it is in the environment.
Got link any chance? Would help me in telling my friends and loved ones to take poop pills with me because of the plastic in bodies (I’ll take my poop polls with or without a link just because I like the cut of your jib)
Wait, would this actually work?

so it works, because in any case there will be less than otherwise would be
Yea it really does. It’s the only way we know to get rid of plastic in blood
Keeping in mind that you’re getting rid of the plastic in your blood by getting rid of her blood

I don’t think this was the exact article I read, but here’s another discussing the research: https://www.uml.edu/news/stories/2025/pfas-detox.aspx
May the wind always be against your back now and always! Thank you
Does this also mean woman after their period have less plastic?
Yes. Also during pregnancy. A lot of it is diverted to the fetus
so babies have already a high amount of plastics pre-birth?
Yep! It’s also a great way for the mom to remove some lead from her system. It ends up in the babies’ teeth
how do i know how much plastic is in my blood?
Well supposedly there’s enough in the tissue in your brain to make a credit card or a plastic disposable spoon depending on what article you read
If you want an actual answer, there is blood work you can have done to determine that. Veritasium did a video on it recently
A lot if it looks like rainbow.
Weigh it
I does! It also reduced heavy metal levels.
Thankfully the bad type that shouldn’t be your blood, and not the cool type that should be playing on your speakers.
Technically, sure, it would reduce the microplastics in your body, but they’re everywhere in your body, so it wouldn’t be by a significant amount.
