High Cholesterol in Children Linked to Nonstick Cooking Pans

A study from West Virginia University School of Medicine found a link between non-stick cooking pans and higher cholesterol in children.

Dr. Stephanie Frisbee examined records on over 12,600 children and teenagers. She found that if they had higher concentrations of common chemicals found in nonstick cooking ware and water proof fabrics, they also tended to have higher levels of bad cholesterol.

The study appears in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.
