Let’s Talk About PFAS (Don’t Worry, We’ll Keep It Simple!)
Ever wondered about those fancy non-stick coatings on your cookware? Well, there’s something called PFAS hiding in many of them. Think of PFAS like that houseguest who overstays their welcome, they just won’t leave! These human made chemicals are super stubborn and stick around in your body and the environment for years.
Here’s the thing: while these chemicals are great at making things non-stick and water-resistant, they’re not so great for our health. And unfortunately, they’re lurking in many traditional air fryers.
What’s the Big Deal? (AKA Why Should You Care?)
Imagine PFAS as tiny troublemakers that can sneak into your body and cause all sorts of mischief. Scientists have found that these chemicals might:
- Mess with your hormones (you know, the body’s chemical messengers)
- Make it harder for your immune system to fight off bad guys
- Potentially increase health risks, especially for kids whose bodies are still growing
The good news? You can totally avoid these chemicals by choosing a PFAS-free air fryer!
