Most of gen Z are in their 20s, I thought we counted as the last spiderman :(

The reality is that all 3 are full of micro plastics. And there’s some overlap in the Teflon lead generation. And non stick material is still not all that great.

Really, the only problem we’ve solved kinda is lead, unless you’re poor.

To be fair most people still cook with teflon, albeit PFOA-free, so we're still actively consuming teflon. And the worst part? You need to use plastic cooking-utensils with teflon pans. And as plastic utensils wear down they shed lots of microplastics straight into your food.

I'm usually very sceptical about things that "might supposedly" be bad for you, but even I refuse to buy any teflon pan and/or plastic cooking utensils. I now use cast iron with steel utensils :D
