5 Non-Toxic Cookware Options To Avoid Harsh Chemicals

[AdSense-A]

“Non-toxic cookware options to avoid harsh chemicals that can be subsequently transferred to your food and your body”

Peace Fam,

In my job, I have to find healthy articles to post on social media. I was combing through google news and noticed this headline, “Chemicals in Nonstick Pans Could be Causing Weight Gain, Study Says.” I had to click this to make sure it wasn’t clickbait. According to their article, researchers from Harvard University published a study that posited that PFOAS or perfluoroalkyl substances, the chemicals that are found in things like our nonstick pans, and food packaging can be a factor in the obesity epidemic we have in the United States. They go on to say that there was not a direct link, only that people who were obese, tended to have higher levels of this chemical present in their bodies.

Now, this was new for me. I had heard about the dangers of nonstick cookware before. Dr. Axe has an in-depth article going through all the dangers. These products have a link to cancer development, infertility, and liver damage and more. Knowing all of this plus now it can be linked to weight gain, I probably need to continue to find products without these chemicals.

5 Non-Toxic Cookware Options To Avoid Harsh Chemicals

1. Cast Iron Skillet-

We grew up with cast iron skillets in the house. These are definitely free of any of the harsh chemicals found in non stick pans like PFOAs and PFTE. It takes a little bit to get used to, but cooking on a low setting with oil should help you out a bit. They can go for about $80 for a set of two. You can buy them here.

2. Greenlife

Greenlife is another option. According to their website, these are made with a chemical called Thermolon, which is similar to Teflon, however, this chemical doesn’t release harmful chemicals. It is also toxin-free. You can click here to buy.

3. Ozeri Green Earth-

This brand is made from PFOA free from a German brand. They are scratch resistant with silicone handles. They also have a lower price point. Here is the link to buy.

4. Cuisinart Green

This cookware is free of chemicals and uses recycled materials where they can ( they say in the packaging and the steel handles if you were curious).

5. Scanpan

This brand is also free of harmful chemicals, and made with recycled aluminium!

In conclusion, I have to say it is really sad that so many of our daily products have harmful chemicals in them. Exposing yourself to them as little as possible should be a goal to help avoid these effects. Stainless steel cookware is a great alternative, as well as several other brands that we working to make a change. I hope this list was helpful so you can avoid the toxins in your cookware.
