People who tend to eat home-cooked meals rather than eating fast food, ordering take-out or eating out at restaurants appear to reduce their exposure to harmful synthetic chemicals, according to researchers at the Silent Spring Institute, in Massachusetts.
The study, recently published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, found that those who ate more home-cooked meals had lower levels of chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in their blood.
