Teflon Cookware Toxicity

Clearly the most popular choice in cookware and bakeware today is Teflon™ and other nonstick pans. But Teflon is made from perfluorooctanoic acid(PFOA), a synthetic chemical which has been shown in research to cause toxic changes to many of your body's organs & stimulate tumor growth. Toxic fumes from Teflon™ release into the air at relatively low cooking temperatures, adding yet another entry point of this dangerous chemical into your body. All gourmet cooks & chefs know this & certainly do not use it. It is best to use Stainless steel, glass cookware or ceramic. Avoid cast iron & aluminium due to heavy metal toxicity leeching into your food as well.
