Early life exposure to “forever chemicals” permanently disrupts the gut microbiome in mice.

Microbiome plays a vital role in shaping the immune system, digestion and overall health.

Microbacteria in the gut play an important role in mediating mediating health outcomes.

Mitigating early life exposure during early life may be essential for preventing long-term health effects.
