4 Types of Toxic Cookware to Avoid and 4 Safe Alternatives

The non-stick properties of Teflon cookware are achieved with a coating of PTFE. This is a plastic polymer that, when heated above 572°F, starts to release toxins. These toxic fumes lead to flu-like symptoms called polymer fume fever, informally known as Teflon flu. Another chemical compound found in Teflon cookware is especially threatening since it tends to stay in the body (as well as in the environment) for long periods of time. Try cast-iron cookware instead. It even comes in non-stick varieties. It doesn't leak anything toxic into your food and is actually a nice natural way to increase your body’s iron levels.
Though aluminum cookware is usually coated, the coating is prone to chipping, allowing the toxic metal to get right into your food. As for aluminum foil, using it while cooking is even more dangerous. In fact, there’s an established safe amount of aluminum the human body can manage daily, and that’s 20 mg per pound of body weight a day. When you wrap your food in aluminum foil and cook it this way, the amount of this substance that leaks into the food significantly exceeds the permissible level. Consider using glass cookware instead.
If you’ve just enjoyed some fish in lemon juice or stewed tomatoes cooked in an uncoated copper pot and you find yourself suffering from extremely unpleasant symptoms (such as vomiting blood, light-headedness, yellowy skin, or gastrointestinal distress, among others) call 911 immediately. Try this safe alternative instead: stainless steel. Just make sure you're buying food-grade stainless steel since this is the only type that doesn't contain any nickel or chromium.
Soft ceramic coating isn't durable enough and starts chipping after a few months of daily use. When this happens, lead and cadmium sometimes found in the coating will end up in your food and, thus, in your body. Lead poisoning is one of the most dangerous types of metal poisoning and can result in abdominal pain, headaches, infertility, and other health complications. Try this safe alternative instead: 100% ceramic cookware.

SUMMARY
-Teflon contains plastic polymer that, when heated above 572°F, starts to release toxins. Try this safe alternative instead: real cast-iron. This is a nontoxic cooking option that truly withstands the test of time. It heats well and evenly throughout.
-Aluminum is a neurotoxic metal. Elevated levels of aluminum in the body have been linked to several central nervous system diseases, including Alzheimer's and ALS. Try this safe alternative instead: glass cookware. It’ll never release anything toxic when heated, it doesn’t hold onto any old flavors or odors, and it's not only durable but also eco-friendly.
-Copper cookware, especially when it isn’t coated, can easily send you to the ER with a bad case of metal poisoning. And that’s because it can release copper when you cook acidic foods. Stainless steel is a great cookware option: it's relatively lightweight, scratch-resistant, and comes in non-stick varieties.
-Soft ceramic coating isn't durable enough and starts chipping after a few months of daily use. When this happens, lead and cadmium sometimes found in the coating will end up in your food and, thus, in your body. Try this safe alternative instead: 100% ceramic cookware. This is one of the best and safest options out there since it's made with completely natural materials, it isn't toxic, and it won't chip or peel off.

I’ll stick with my cast iron pans inherited from my grandmother. Sometimes the old stuff is still the best stuff.
-
After seeing this I have started cooking directly on fire and using leaves as plates Thank you for making me aware 🙂

After watching this video, you'll be considering cooking your food on a rock and serving it on a banana tree leaf.
-
I'm just gonna throw my whole kitchen away.

Cast iron pans are amazing. Don't get non-stick variety, just get the normal black one and cooking on it over time will build up what's called a seasoning on it. Once I went cast iron I never went back.
-
I'm so glad I saw this video. I've been using foil paper daily and thought it was completely safe. Thank you for being so informative!
-
I have used the same cast iron frypan for 40 years and still good.
-
Let's face it. Living can be hazardous to your health.
-
Holy moly, I didn't even know that when non-stick pan starts chipping then I must dispose it immediately. I'm glad that YouTube recommend this.

Just watched a documentary on Teflon and DuPont and my fears of C-8 have now been confirmed even more with this video. I’m throwing out all my non-stick pans and stick to old days cast iron and ceramics. This company are killing us and unfortunately have been since 70s. The depth of C-8 and other poisoning by products sipping into our food using these cookware will be discovered, if not already, covered up and nothing we can do about it! Can’t always be safe but I’m making an informed choice. Thank you for the video!!

My girlfriend used to call me toxic... but then again she always says I had a cast iron heart... after watching this video I know now that I wasn’t the problem.

I am 77 yrs old, and I remember (as child ) tasting the metal in the tea water and the metal in the canned vegetables. I only would use glass and frozen or fresh vegetables. I still have my mothers cast iron cook wear and I bought stainless steel pots. I tried the Teflon coating and the texture of the food was weird. People laughed at me and said it was all in my mind. I all-so raised birds, Friends of mine lost pet birds due to the teflon. All this time I thought I was just weird.

Clay based utensils and wood based spoons which were used in the earlier stage of human life. I remember my grandma has that. Especially the spoon were made part of half coconut shell and joint into the stick made from bamboo

I have and use regularly a cast iron skillet and a griddle that were wedding presents to my parents in 1956. My mom used them all the time, I have them now since my parents are gone, and I use them. I also have modern cast iron, Field is my favorite brand. I also love carbon steel! I have a wok and two skillets in that material, it is great for cooking. Lighter than cast iron, and just as healthy. It lasts a lifetime as well.

Not taking any chances, I’m not cooking anymore 😬

You rock! No ADs for any cooking ware but introduce the healthiest selections. I like it!

Absolutely insane that it's even legal to sell such harmful cookware 🤦♂️
