Nonstick cookware coated with PTFE (Teflon) or PFAS-based coatings releases toxic fumes when overheated and sheds coating particles into food as the coating degrades. PFAS are 'forever chemicals' that accumulate in the body and are associated with cancer, thyroid disease, and immune system disruption. Cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel are the safe, durable alternatives.
