## Contribution

The paper highlights the use of cholestyramine for PFAS removal and emphasizes the lack of evidence regarding its long-term health benefits.

## Key findings

- Highly exposed people are using cholestyramine to address PFAS exposure.
- There is currently no strong evidence that cholestyramine improves long-term health outcomes in these cases.

## Abstract

people have begun taking cholestyramine, but experts
