Chemicals in cookware risk children's intestinal health
An American study has shown that exposure of pregnant women and children to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), found in non-stick cookware and fast-food packaging, increases the risk of developing intestinal infections and chronic immune diseases at an early age. The 11-year study revealed that accumulation of these substances in the body leads to elevated levels of calprotectin in children's stool, which is a sensitive marker for intestinal inflammation. This raises the likelihood of autoimmune inflammation over time, prompting parents to reduce the use of such materials to prevent future health problems.
