⚠️Most disposable plates contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances)—chemicals used for water and grease resistance. But research shows: • PFAS disrupt hormone function and suppress the immune system → Grandjean et al., Environmental Health Perspectives, 2013 • Heating plastic or coated paper increases chemical leaching → Rudel et al., Environmental Health Perspectives, 2011 • Even small amounts of daily exposure can accumulate and interfere with detoxification pathways—critical during ca
