Dangers of Scratched Non-Stick Pans: Are You Aware of Serious Health Risks

By -


Non-stick pans are a common kitchen staple, but if yours has developed scratches during use, it may pose serious health risks. A study published in 2022 in Science Direct revealed that a non-stick pan with just a 5 cm scratch can release approximately 2.3 million microplastics. These microplastics can mix with food and enter our bodies, potentially leading to over ten serious diseases.


Toxins in the Bloodstream


In a 2020 study published in the National Library of Medicine, researchers found that 99% of Americans had detectable levels of toxins in their blood linked to the use of scratched non-stick pans. As non-stick cookware becomes more prevalent in developing countries, including India, the risk of associated health issues is also on the rise.


Health Risks Associated with Scratched Non-Stick Pans


Thyroid Problems: The chemicals released from scratched non-stick pans can disrupt thyroid function, leading to conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid disease.


Heart Disease: PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) released from scratched pans can interfere with lipid metabolism, increasing bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. This accumulation in arteries raises the risk of heart attack and stroke. A Harvard University study in 2018 found that people with high PFAS levels in their blood were twice as likely to develop heart disease and high blood pressure.


Liver Damage: Toxins from scratched non-stick pans can reach the stomach through food. The liver, which detoxifies the body, struggles to process these harmful substances, leading to potential liver damage.


Cancer Risks: The toxic chemicals and microplastics released can increase oxidative stress and disrupt DNA, heightening the risk of liver, kidney, and testicular cancers.


In summary, while non-stick pans offer convenience in cooking, their safety can be compromised when scratched. It’s essential to monitor the condition of your cookware and consider alternatives if necessary.

1) What do you think about Pushpa Impossible as a show and the character that you are playing? What was your reaction when you were approached? Pushpa Impossible is a show that encourages people from all genders to live optimistically, surviving against obstacles in front of them. This show demonstrates impressive courage and determination through Pushpa, who struggles throughout to support her children after her husband is absconding. She never gave up in the face of adversity, and this same energy is passed onto our audience.  When I was approached by the makers of the show to do the character of Dipti, I was excited. For a long time, I was engaged in negative roles, and I wished to do something positive like the current role of Dipti.  The character of Dipti is bright, mature and has clarity about life. I am happy about doing this character since her maturity really teaches me a lot about handling situations. Undoubtedly, I am growing as an actor in this role and more as...
