Episode notes
Cookware Is A Major Daily Toxin Source
- Cookware is one of the highest daily toxin exposures in the home, especially when heated.
- Heated pans dramatically increase leaching of PFAS, PFOA, PTFE and heavy metals into food and the body.
Forever Chemicals Harm Reproduction And Hormones
- PFAS and related chemicals bioaccumulate and disrupt endocrine, reproductive, and thyroid systems.
- These chemicals are linked to reduced egg quality, implantation issues, early menopause, miscarriage risk, and altered breast milk.
Swap Nonstick For Certified Ceramic
- Replace Teflon and PTFE pans with ceramic, PFOA- and PTFE-free cookware like Caraway to avoid microdosing chemicals.
- Choose cookware advertised as lead-free and cadmium-free to reduce toxin leaching at normal cooking temperatures.
