Regularly donating blood (every 2 months) is probably the best thing you can do to mitigate this and other concerns such as PFAS. If you trust the plasma donation machines, it should be even more effective.<p>There was a study on some firefighters that showed this, but it only served to make me realize that I overlooked this simple and free lifehack for many years of my life.<p>Obviously diluting the blood will dilute concentrations of anything in the blood. And through osmosis it will dilute concentrations in tissues as well (into the blood), though the effect magnitude of that would vary. There probably are many substances that preferentially accumulate in some tissues and resist being pulled back into the blood, so this is sadly not a panacea.<p>I worked out a naive equation for just the blood at some point. Doesn&#x27;t consider tissues.<p><pre><code> % removed = (1 - (1 - 450 &#x2F; (70 * weight)) ^ donations) * 100</code></pre>

This data makes me want to cut back on my trips to Starbucks which is better for the environment and my wallet anyway.
