I guess a notable leap of implication the article makes is that it kind of claims that the chemicals - which are indeed found in all of our bodies - come into our bodies from use of the everyday items that contain these chemicals, and by extension, that avoiding their use would reduce the amount of these chemicals that enter your body.
This is not actually established properly in the article, though. It could very well be that the chemicals are released during manufacture, a process where it is well established that people get poisoned by working with these things, and that the chemicals then enter all living organisms and finally make it into us through our food.
It’s highly alarming either way, of course.
Poll: who uses nonstick pans or other similar items?
I personally only use cast iron or stainless cookware for 25 years, minimum. No reason other than I just do.
Too many people.
I see non stick cookwear fly off the shelves due to people not knowing how to cook, the option being too expensive or too heavy.
I have the exact same preference you have for pots and pans but when talking about cooking I always get away with the feeling I’m the crazy one for learning techniques to use a conventional pot or frying pan instead of using non stick.
I do. I have fibro and cast iron and steel is too heavy for me. I also don’t worry about dying too young, because debilitating pain etc…
It’s not just about dying too young. The chemicals leech into the environment. Something absurd like 99% of kids now have these forever chemicals from nonstick in their bodies.
Sorry for your pain and condition. Good luck.
I use em for eggs and extremely delicate items. Other than that it’s steel + vast iron + carbon steel.
