Cookware
Teflon and non-stick coatings release PFAS particles at normal cooking temperatures. These accumulate in the body over years and are linked to hormonal disruption.
Food Storage
Plastic containers release microplastics and BPA into food, especially when heated or washed repeatedly. Glass and stainless are fully inert.
Water
Tap water in most European cities contains traces of PFAS, nitrates, chlorine and heavy metals. Filtering at source is one of the highest-impact changes you can make.
Kitchen Tools
Plastic utensils scratch cookware and release microplastics directly into food. Natural alternatives are just as practical β and last longer.
