> A study published in 2019 analyzed a decade of data about the eating habits of 10,000 people, which was collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between 2003 and 2014. Blood samples from the study participants were also collected. The researchers found that people who ate microwave popcorn every day over the course of a year had levels of PFAS that were up to 63% higher than average.
1. Is it too much to ask for a link to the original research in an article like this?
2. Given that every human alive has detectable levels of PFAS in blood, 63% elevation after eating every single day of the year doesn't seem like a lot.
3. Those advocating popping in pans/pots might want to consider what that pan/pot is coated with.
Most people stove top pop in a 8 or 10 qt pot. These are typically for making pasta, boiling potatoes, soups, or stews. Usually bare metal or enameled cast iron. No PFAs.
