Episode 20: The Dangers of Non-stick Cookware
Description
Today we are continuing our discussion on reducing some of those really detrimental chemicals and toxins that find our way into our homes. We're specifically going to be talking about non-stick cookware and some of the detrimental effects of the chemicals used in non-stick cookware.
I thought that this subject was so relevant because here at Natural Super Kids, we focus a lot on food - getting good food into our kids, getting more whole foods, more nutrient-dense foods for our kids. And one of the areas that's often overlooked is the equipment that we use preparing this food in, and whether that is as healthy and safe as it could be.
Listen in as I talk about non-stick cookware facts and healthy alternatives for your families:
- The dangers of these chemicals such as PFOA, PFA and those that are in Teflon products
- Negative implications linking these chemicals to ADHD in children, early onset puberty, delayed growth and development, infertility, cancers and more
- A resource excerpt from cancer.org about PFOAs being classed as a likely carcinogenic or cancer-causing
- Using alternative cookware such as stainless steel, ceramic, stone, wrought iron and more
