Do You Have Lethal Kitchen Ware in Your House?
by Ceramic and teflon pots and pans can be lethal and if you don’t check the type you have you could be serving food which is full of poison to the people that you love the most!
You might have heard about the dangers of Teflon. Teflon and ceramic pots and pans are so popular because they are non-stick which means that you can cook without any fat or with a few drops of oil. Super healthy, right? Not so!
Teflon and ceramic kitchen wear can be loaded with poison substances that you would not want to go near if you knew about it. The problem is not only if you scratch the surface of the pan. It is enough that the pan heats up for these substances to creep over to the food. We are talking about things like cadmium which can cause severe liver damage to a person who is exposed to it!
Since Teflon and ceramic kitchen wear is such a popular ingredient in most kitchens we might be looking at a serious health issue that will become evident in the upcoming decades. No one knows exactly what will happen to people who are exposed to these substances over a longer period of time but who wants to be the test rabbit?
In an Israeli documentary on the matter doctors stated that they would never bring Teflon or ceramic products into their kitchens. In this documentary several brands of Teflon and ceramic kitchen tools where tested and most of them had high levels of poison substances.
If you have these tools in your house you need to check if they belong to the safe brands. If they don’t they should go to the garbage this second! Scratched Teflon and ceramic pans must also be tossed because they present a great danger to your health. Make sure to cook with plastic and wooden tools so that you won’t scratch the surface of the pans and pots. If you have a ceramic or Teflon toaster you can make your toast wrapped into baking paper so that they won’t touch the grill directly.
It is also important to consider how you clean your utensils when they have a lining of Teflon. No scrubbing and not scratching. Use boiling water and a soft cloth to clean the pan or pot. So many dangers in the kitchen, cleaning products are also not the best for our health but luckily there are many ways to get around this and you can clean calcium deposits and other things naturally without using poison. The same goes for Teflon, you can get rid of it and use regular pots and just learn how to cook without burning the food!
