Check out the MinuteFood video on Teflon here: https://youtu.be/R1hbV3EzOD4 PFAS - also known as the “forever chemicals” we use in all sorts of household products - are able to cause all sorts of health problems without ever really reacting with anything LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: - PFAS: A class of man-made molecules consisting of a fully (per) or partly (poly) fluorinated carbon chain connected to different functional groups. - Teflon: A type of PFAS - PTFE - used in making nonstick coating for cookware. - Fatty Acid: A hydrocarbon chain terminating with a carboxylic acid group. - Albumin: The main protein of human blood plasma.
