Are stealthy chimneys robbing your health? Never fear – just hold up on using products with perfluorocarbons (PFCs), commonly found in stain guards, beauty products, and nonstick pans – there are plenty of alternatives. Try to check this out:

• Avoid stain-resistant treatments on carpets, clothing, and furniture, or buy products that aren’t stain-guarded and apply a non-PFC-based option.
• Check your personal care product labels for “PFTE” or “perfluoro” in the ingredients, and avoid them when you can (lotions, nail polish, powders, and shaving cream often contain them).
• Lower your greasy food intake – foods like French fries and microwave popcorn sometimes come wrapped in PFC-treated packaging.
• Kick your Teflon cookware habit in favor of other, greener nonstick or cast iron options.

Benefits are, not mugging your well-being. Kinda scary, we know, but studies have linked PFCs to organ damage and hormone disruption, and they accumulate in our bodies and circulate there for years. And, PFCs never fully break down in nature; in gas form they warm the atmosphere up to 6,500 times more effectively than carbon dioxide.
