Teflon will actually decompose to not nice chemicals at high temperatures. If you're going to use a teflon pan, never let it get too hot under any circumstances.
Cooking with aluminum utensils does put aluminum in your food, and aluminum can poison you with symptoms similar to alzheimers.
As for me, I pretty much only use cast iron pans or glazed cast iron cookware. The utensils I buy are always steel or silicone. I haven't had to buy cookware or utensils for a very long time now.
Got it.
Go be a loser somewhere else.
Another nonsense term. Everything can be considered a carcinogen in some fashion. Heck, sucrose (table sugar) probably creates more cancer cases than the medical industry is willing to admit.
We are surrounded by chemicals, some of them in the natural foods we eat and some of them made by our own bodies.
All chemicals will kill you at sufficient quantities. Drink enough water, and you will die. At sufficiently low doses, they can even become medicines. Some medicines are near the border of lethality -- tylenol, for instance.
Yes, I'd rather avoid artificial things but I do like using knives and wearing shoes sometimes.
There are plastics that never leave the body, correct? Surely that causes issues even if we don't know exactly what.
why can't people just use cast iron like their ancestors?
(((Teflon))) and aluminum is the crap you want to avoid
There is cookware that is stable at high temperatures and don't shed harmful chemicals. Silicone, for instance, is way better than most other kinds of plastics. Stainless steel is very stable even in acidic conditions (which many foods are acidic.)
Teflon is not good at high temperatures. You can actually put a teflon pan on the stove, turn it on, and watch it smoke. The bad smell is a sign that it is going to kill you.
The thing about plastics is that some are fine, others aren't, and if you just learn a little bit about them you'll be able to tell the difference. If plastics did poison us, we would know because there would be a causal link. There is no such evidence.
High carb diet? That will give you cancer and basically every other disease you can think of.
There are things you SHOULD be worried about, and things you shouldn't waste your time on. No, your hair spray is not going to destroy the earth. Yes, eating Cheerios with milk and a spoonful of sugar will destroy your lineage.
