Nutrition Edition - PFAS aka Forever Chemicals
They’re in your water, your food packaging, and even the nonstick pan you cook with. PFAS—also known as “forever chemicals”—are everywhere.
Originally designed to make life easier, these synthetic chemicals have been used for decades in products that resist heat, water, grease, and stains. They’re found in nonstick cookware, food wrappers, waterproof clothing, stain-resistant furniture, and even some personal care products. The problem? They don’t break down easily, which means they stick around in the environment—and in our bodies.
While research is still uncovering the full effects of PFAS exposure, some studies link them to hormone disruption, immune system issues, and even metabolic challenges.
So what does this mean for your health and nutrition? This month, we’re breaking it down for you—where PFAS are commonly found, how they might impact your wellness goals, and, most importantly, simple ways to reduce your exposure without overhauling your lifestyle.
We’re here to help you make informed choices without the overwhelm. That’s why we love our monthly Nutrition Edition of the Pittsburgh FIT Weekly Newsletter!
So, what’s in store for you this month?
