Deep dives
The Dangers of Teflon Cookware
Teflon, a material used in nonstick cookware, has been linked to serious health risks, including various types of cancer and reproductive issues. Originally developed for military applications, Teflon was commercialized in the 1970s, making its way into everyday products such as cookware and water-repellent fabrics without sufficient research on its effects. When cookware is heated, Teflon can begin to break down and leach toxic chemicals into food and air, posing potential long-term health hazards. As consumers become more aware of these risks, some states are now taking action to ban Teflon in cookware, highlighting a growing concern about consumer safety.
