PFAS exposure, high-fat diet drive prostate cells’ metabolism into pro-cancer state: Dietary fat synergizes with PFAS to trigger cancer in benign cells, accelerate tumor growth in malignant cells
Exposure to PFAS — a class of synthetic chemicals utilized in food wrappers, nonstick cookware and other products — reprograms the metabolism of benign and malignant human prostate cells to a more energy efficient state that enables the cells to proliferate at three times the rate of nonexposed cells, a new study in mice found.
