Avoid Nonstick Cookware to Cut PFAS Exposure

Swap out nonstick or Teflon-coated pans for cookware made from safer materials such as stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic. The goal is to reduce exposure to PFAS/PFCs and related endocrine-disrupting chemicals that can leach from damaged or heated nonstick surfaces, with potential downstream effects on hormones, fertility, gut health, and overall toxic burden.
