PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), found in plastic food containers and nonstick cookware, make prostate cancer grow three times more quickly

New research suggests that exposure to chemicals called PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which can be found in plastic food containers and nonstick cookware, among other places, can make prostate cancer grow three times more quickly than cells that haven't been exposed to these dangerous chemicals.

The study, published in the journal Nutrients, examined the progression of the disease in mice exposed to PFAS, as well as those that were not. Researchers found that the disease developed the most quickly in mice exposed to PFAS that were fed a high-fat diet. That is, the diet meant to imitate the Western diet actually magnified these chemicals' harmful effects.

Lol

Take home message:

Mice with prostate cancer should NOT cook with non-stick cookware or use plastic food containers with PFAS.

Then again, maybe most humans might want to avoid getting in line for second helpings of PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

At least until our biochemical systems get a few hundred thousand years of experience to adapt to them.

No?

Thank you. I am happy to store in Pyrex containers. Not throwing away the non-stick pans, though.
