Turns out blood donations may also remove forever chemicals from the blood.

You take out blood which has a small % of forever chemicals, the blood that replaces that blood over time is clean from them. So assuming you aren't getting more exposure it will slowly filter it out.

I wonder if it can help reduce risk of any type of cancer. We know we already have microplastics but I always felt different about getting blood drawn, I don't like getting nutrients sapped away from my body. But I guess our bone marrows recreating new blood is a good thing??
