New research aimed at identifying foods that contain higher levels of PFAS found people who eat more white rice, coffee, eggs and seafood typically showed more of the toxic chemicals in their plasma and breast milk.
The study checked samples from 3,000 pregnant mothers, and is among the first research to suggest coffee and white rice may be contaminated at higher rates than other foods. It also identified an association between red meat consumption and levels of PFOS, one of the most common and dangerous PFAS compounds.
“The results definitely point toward the need for environmental stewardship, and keeping PFAS out of the environment and food chain,” said Megan Romano, a Dartmouth researcher and lead author. “Now we’re in a situation where they’re everywhere and are going to stick around even if we do aggressive remediation.”
I can exercise my critical abilities by blocking this bot! Bye!
Seems like you guys really don’t like my bot, haha. Whoops, sorry. Will for now disable it to see how to proceed.
You can also just post the 4-5 data items without claiming that this is low or high credibility or bias. Then let the people make the decision. Like this maybe:
“Based on source X, this source media bias is:
Methodology of X is at: “
Yea, that sounds like a good idea. Thank you for the feedback (:
Maybe add links to data sources and separate items that are objectively negative from those that someone may prefer? (i.e., reliability being low is always bad, left or right leaning being bad is based on individual perspectives.
Items that are objectively considered bad are removed. This message is more intended to warn the users. I agree that I should rephrase the message.
Thank you for the feedback.
Fwiw I don’t like social media bots in general.
I liked it. The guardian is awful. Like the huffington post. It’s the other side of the coin from Fox News, etc. Lemmy just doesn’t like being reminded that progressives have biased news sources too.
I don’t always notice the source at first, so this was a good reminder.
It’s absolutely not.
First, they don’t just make shit up. Second, they’re very comfortable with center-left neoliberal ideology but anything to the left of that really upsets them.
Opposite of Fox News would be The Onion because they both make up shit
Reality has a left leaning bias
