Sure, it’s suspicious that pet birds drop dead when their owners cook with nonstick pans, but could it really be that bad for humans?
A new peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism has the answer.
Chemicals in the lining of nonstick pans had previously been found to affect the reproductive health of mice and rabbits, but this study specifically set out to uncover their effects on human bodies.
The conclusion? Sorry, it’s not what you want to hear, but it’s what you need to know.
What Can These Chemicals Actually Do to Your D*ck?
The study found that PFOA and PFOS, chemicals found in nonstick pans, bind with testosterone receptors in the cell, disrupting normal and healthy hormone function.
That’s right. These seemingly-innocent acronyms have red flags all over them.
PFOA stands for Perfluorooctanoic Acid and PFOS stands for Perfluorooctane Sulfonate.
When a nonstick pan is heated, these chemicals are released and make their way into your body, and they can stay in your system for years.
You’re just trying to make breakfast, but you’re inadvertently compromising your health.
So what actually happens once PFOA and PFOS bind with testosterone?
And is it really true that cooking with them enough decreases testosterone levels?
Like if you go out to a restaurant, you’d look a little weird if you went kicking and screaming into the kitchen demanding to know if they use nonstick pans… (to put it lightly lol).
Lucky for you there are plenty of other things you can do to reverse the effects of nonstick pans… and boost your sexual health and performance… without making drastic changes to your life:
Exercising a little every day is known to help, and so is drinking a bunch more water…
But from the research I’ve done, I have found a simple shift in your diet can make a drastic difference in your sex life.
