Highest PFOA Levels, Twice Cardiovascular Disease: Study

ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th May, 2017 ) : Researchers found that people with the highest Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) levels in their blood were twice as likely to have cardiovascular disease compared with people having the lowest levels.

According to Health news, scientists discovering surprising new heart attack causes, nonstick and stain-repelling chemicals are convenient, but in terms of health, they might not be worth it. Previously linked to infertility, high cholesterol, and ADHD, a September 2012 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine also shows a connection between Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) chemicals and heart disease.

Regardless of age, body mass, or the presence of diabetes or other diseases,highest PFOA in the blood level have twice cardiovascular diseases as copmared with the lowest level. That's why, if you use nonstick pots, pans, and bakeware, replace them with uncoated stainless steel, made-in-America cast iron, or glass the minute you start seeing chips in the finish and eat fast food less-many fast-food containers contain PFOA- containing grease barriers.
