The small study of patients at Mount Sinai Hospital has implications for anyone, including military firefighters and families, who are exposed to the chemicals.

A new study finds evidence of a link between exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — also known as "forever chemicals" — and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

So-called "forever chemicals" could be increasing Americans' risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, a new study says.

A new study finds that people with more of these PFAS chemicals in their blood are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later on. Researchers working with Mount Sinai’s BioMe biobank examined 180 adults who recently received a diabetes diagnosis and compared them with 180 matched participants who remained diabetes free.
