(Bethesda, MD) — Forever chemicals are being linked to higher rates of breast cancer. New research out of the National Institutes of Health shows women who were found to have high levels of two types of forever chemicals had a 93 percent higher rates of breast cancer. The study’s lead author says not only that, but they found the chemicals were linked to a higher risk of ER-negative breast cancer which is a more aggressive tumor type. Researchers looked at blood samples from people from years prior to them getting a cancer diagnosis to come to their conclusions.
