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.
