Don’t stick with non-stick
What would you rather have – fried eggs that lift easily out of the pan, and pans that wash clean easily OR would you rather reduce your chance of developing CANCER?
The US Environmental Protection Agency safety review makes it fairly clear that a key chemical used in the manufacture of Teflon non-stick coatings, and described, as “an indestructible, toxic chemical that pollutes nearly every American's blood” is a "likely human carcinogen."
Dupont Teflon’s makers (and seven other companies) recently signed an agreement with the EPA, voluntarily – to say they would reduce the use of the suspect chemical (PFOA) by 95% over the next half a decade – with the objective of its total elimination by 2015…
So, only another 9 years of potentially increasing our Cancer risk every time we cook with a non-stick pan then!
[The Environmental Working Group posted their article on 30/1/2006 that refers to this report in more detail at: http://www.ewg.org/issues/pfcs/20060130/index.php]
As you try to find ways to defuse your ‘toxic time bomb’ – and reduce your exposure to carcinogens – you should consider investing in glass cookware, or at least good quality stainless steel pans. They may burn on the bottom if you take your eyes off them, and they may need a bit more elbow grease to clean…but ‘exercise is good for you’…and avoiding Teflon’s even better…
And naturally we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t remind you that EVERY DAY that you continue to use run-of-the-mill body wash, shampoos, moisturizers, conditioners, after shaves…etc…etc you are exposing yourself to a whole mass of toxic chemicals…The amount of Teflon you consume might be relatively small...but your personal care and cosmetics products may be absorbed by your body in considerable amounts daily.
So throw out those non-stick pans…and all your old body care, hair care, oral care and cosmetics.
Buy some glass pans. And if you want to find 100% natural personal care and cosmetics, 100% beneficial products that are free from synthetic chemicals and petroleum derivatives, and do not hide ingredients like Sodium (or Ammonium) Laureth (or Lauryl) Sulphate, or any parabens, or any of the other commonly used toxic substances…
