7 dangers lurking in your kitchen
The 7 most dangerous things in your kitchen can be found in your cookware. They include:
- Teflon
- Analon
- Calphalon
- Circulon
- Silverstone
- Tfal
- Aluminum
Non-stick cookware
The first 6 on the list are non-stick cookware. What makes it non-stick is a coating called polytetrafluoroetheylene, or PTFE, which is made from perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA. This coating at high temperatures will release toxic fumes that can kill pet birds and cause flu-like symptoms in people. In addition, PFOA has been associated with thyroid problems, high cholesterol, pregnancy difficulties, and even male infertility.
Aluminum
Aluminum is even worse! Cooking with aluminum cookware can cause the aluminum to seep into your food and has been associated with autism, asthma, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.
What is safe?
You can safely cook with uncoated stainless steel or a good, old-fashioned iron skillet.
