In this episode…
One out of every five deaths in the US is caused by heart disease, and the forever chemicals hiding in your cookware could be contributing to this epidemic.
David Barrett, owner of Chef’s Foundry, reveals how PFAS chemicals in non-stick cookware raise cholesterol, increase blood pressure, disrupt thyroid function, slow metabolism, and even increase risk of cardiovascular events.
These forever chemicals don’t just stay on your pans—they incorporate into your cell membranes and accumulate in your body fat, making them nearly impossible to eliminate. Even one small scratch on a non-stick surface can release 9,000 toxic particles into your food, while heavy scratching releases up to 2 million particles.
David shares the shocking DuPont scandal behind Teflon, the truth about “greenwashed” non-stick cookware, and why those flu-like symptoms after cooking might actually be “Teflon flu.” Plus, learn which safe cookware options actually work and how to choose between ceramic, stainless steel, and cast iron alternatives.
Key discussion points…
- David’s story and why he started a cookware company
