You bring up a good point. People freak out over plastic cookware and then use aluminum for cooking at high temperatures. The reality is nearly all cookware you can get these days is probably bad for you.
There are plastics that never leave the body, correct? Surely that causes issues even if we don't know exactly what.
Idiots use copper pots and then put lemon juice in there and heat it up and find out real quick that copper can poison you too.
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.

why can't people just use cast iron like their ancestors?
(((Teflon))) and aluminum is the crap you want to avoid
