High-Fiber Diet May Protect Against Harmful Health Effects of PCBs
Research Brief - March 2020
Two new NIEHS-funded Superfund Research Program (SRP) studies showed how a type of dietary fiber, inulin, may protect against heart disease, including heart disease resulting from exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
