Welp, I’m having oats for breakfast tomorrow 😄

I wonder if there are other ways pfas might be circulated out of the bloodstream and back into the digestive system to be collected by this microfauna.

One of the ways oats and oatmeal reduce the amount of cholesterol in your body is by binding to the cholesterol in bile so it’s excreted instead of being re-absorbed. So the cholesterol could already be in the bloodstream, converted into bile, then excretes with the oats once it’s combined. This clearly has multiple essential organs helping the process, but still, a mechanism like this could still make a difference over time.

I listened to a story from an ER surgeon. He says the hardest part about crash victims with dogs loose in the car is when their dogs bones fuse with the owners and it’s near impossible tell the difference between the two to separate them. It’s difficult because if they don’t get it all, the body will reject the accidental cross species bone grafting.

Including the high likelihood of ejecting a dog out of the car, this inspired me to get my dog a car harness.
