BPA-Free Plastics May Pose Similar Health Risks With BPS Alternative

BPA-free plastics often contain BPS, a chemical that disrupts heart function and mimics estrogen just like the banned BPA does. If you've switched to BPA-free products thinking they're safer, you may still be exposed to harmful chemicals with similar effects.

Non-stick pan coatings linked to thyroid and liver damage

Non-stick cookware coatings contain PFAS chemicals that build up in your body and stay there for years. These chemicals are linked to thyroid disease, liver damage, and a weaker immune system. If you cook regularly, switching to stainless steel or cast iron pans could reduce your exposure.
