What Are PFAS Compounds?
PFAS compounds, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are synthetic chemicals widely used in various consumer products. These compounds are found in water-resistant fabrics, fire-retardants, and especially in non-stick coatings, such as Teflon.
PFAS compounds have gained attention due to their potential health hazards. They can accumulate in the body and the environment, and they have been linked to a range of health problems, including hormone disruption, immune system weakening, and even cancer.
Avoiding PFAS Compounds in Cooking
Cooking utensils and cookware can be a significant source of PFAS compounds. Non-stick coatings, such as Teflon, in particular, may contain these harmful chemicals. It's important to choose safe alternatives to protect yourself and your family.
You can avoid PFAS compounds in cooking with the following tips:
- Choose cookware that is PFAS-free.
- Avoid old or scratched non-stick pans and pots.
- Use cookware made from stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic.
