Teflon utensils, should they be thrown away at the first scratch?
Plus a kitchen utensil coated with a typical non-stick film Teflon is used and washed, the more it loses this protective microfilm. In what proportion? It was difficult to specify until then. Recently, the dangerousness might be assessed in a somewhat roundregarding way fromjust a scratch : using a Raman microspectroscopy device, researchers measured the amount of micro and nanoplastics released following a simple scratch and the result is simply frightening: up to 9,100 particles! Thus, when the coating is damaged in many places, as is often the case following somewhat prolonged regular use, no less than 2,300,000 micro and nanoparticles migrate into the food contained in the cooking utensil. cooking.
As a reminder, Teflon is part of the family of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkylated substances) well known for their multiple toxicitiesin particular the possibility of developing certain forms of cancersa decrease in fertilitydisorders of the development of fetus…PFAS are now omnipresent in our environment, near and far (we find them at both poles!). Thus, we can be contaminated not only by food, but also by drinking water ! To your good health!
