Non-stick pan chemicals 'may raise child cholesterol'

Stephanie Frisbee and colleagues at West Virginia University School of Medicine set out to investigate this further, looking at a group of children who had been exposed to particularly high levels of PFOA through an industrial accident.

Blood tests from the children showed that they did have much higher levels of PFOA than would be expected - their levels were 69.2 nanograms per millilitre on average compared to the 3.9ng/ml national average.

And their higher PFOA levels were associated with increased total cholesterol and LDL or "bad" cholesterol.
