Non-stick cookware chemical PFOA linked to high cholesterol in children

(NaturalNews) Another day, another headline about the dangers of a synthetic chemical in our food... This time it's PFOA, or perfluoroalkyl acid -- the non-stick chemical used on cookware surfaces. According to a study just published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, high levels of PFOA were strongly correlated with an increase in both total cholesterol and LDL "bad" cholesterol.
（NaturalNews）另一天，另一條標題有關在我們的食物中合成化學品的危險...這一次它是全氟辛酸銨，或全氟酸 - 不沾化學物用於炊具表面。根據一項在兒科和青少年醫學檔案剛公佈的研究，高水平的PFOA是強烈相關總膽固醇及低密度脂蛋白“壞”膽固醇兩者的增加。
Typically, high cholesterol is treated with a second chemical intervention -- statin drugs. Statins can produce devastating side effects including kidney and liver damage (http://naturalnews.com/statins.html), muscle weakness and eye problems. So now we have a situation where people ingesting PFOA chemicals may be inaccurately diagnosed with cholesterol problems and be prescribed dangerous chemical medications that cause even more health problems.
代表性地，高膽固醇是以一第二化學干預作治療 - 他汀類藥物。他汀類藥物可以產生毀滅性的副作用包括腎臟和肝臟損傷（http://naturalnews.com/statins.html）、肌肉無力和眼睛問題。所以現在我們面對一處境，人們攝入 PFOA的化學物質可能會被不正確地診斷為膽固醇問題，和被處方危險化學藥物，那甚至導致更多的健康問題。
This study looked at 12,000 children who were exposed to PFOA through their local water supply which was contaminated with PFOA. It does not prove a link between non-stick cookware and cholesterol, although it suggests a possible link that should probably be researched further.
研究評估12 ,000名接觸 PFOA的兒童，通過當地有PFOA污染的食水供應。它並不能證明有一層在易潔炊具和膽固醇之間的聯繫，但它提出一可能的鏈接，也許應該被進一步研究。
PFOA上多於衹是煑食鑊
PFOA is on more than just cooking pans
PFOA isn't merely found on cooking pans, by the way: Nearly all cooking surfaces for electric consumer food prep appliances are made with it: Sandwich toasters, griddles and even popular cooking devices such as George Foreman Grills.
You'll also get PFOA from most restaurants because non-stick cooking surfaces are commonly used to prepare your omelets, pancakes, pasta sauces and many other menu items. Avoiding PFOA is nearly impossible unless you prepare all your own food at home, and even then, you must be extremely careful with what food prep devices you use.
Even Swiss Diamond pans which claim that you're "cooking on diamonds" are actually made with PFOA chemicals (http://www.naturalnews.com/021059.html).
I have avoided non-stick cookware for many years and wouldn't dare prepare any food on such an item made with dangerous chemicals, but most consumers don't know about the dangers of PFOA, and they continue to cook their food with non-stick pans. It gets really dangerous when people use forks or metal spatulas to stir their food in such pans because this action scrapes off microscopic bits of PFOA chemicals that then become lodged in their food and swallowed.
My advice is to avoid all non-stick cookware. Buy stainless steel cookware with copper plating on the bottom, which helps disperse heat and prevent burning. Better yet, eat more raw foods and superfood smoothies which require no cooking whatsoever.
The mere act of cooking food in a pan, after all, creates carcinogens in the food. The only "safely" cooked food is steamed or boiled. Anything that subjects foods to very high temperatures -- frying, broiling, grilling, etc. -- results in the creation of cancer-causing chemicals in the food itself. And that's true whether you're using a PFOA pan or not.
