The Hidden Dangers of PFAS in Everyday Products
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals found in non-stick cookware, water-resistant clothing, food packaging, and more. They are called "forever chemicals" because they do not break down in the environment or the human body.
Why Avoid PFAS?
- Linked to health issues like cancer, hormone disruption, and immune problems.
- Can accumulate in your body over time.
Simple Ways to Reduce PFAS Exposure
- Switch to stainless steel or cast iron cookware.
- Avoid stain-resistant or water-repellent fabrics.
- Choose PFAS-free personal care and cleaning products.
- Do not microwave food in grease-resistant packaging.
Small changes add up—choose safer alternatives and check product labels for PFAS-free claims.
