Make sure to hold it at arm’s length, if you weren’t already. If it’s close to you it’s too big to vanish into the blind spot.

Clearly this means God’s chosen are the cephalopods.

It was plant oil, being fermented anaerobically and heated for millions of years chemically changes it.

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

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.

Is this the place to drop my recommendation for Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer? It’s 25 years old, but a fascinating read.
