#1 Teflon Cookware
Many people opt for Teflon because its convenient and theyre everywhere.
But Teflon is the most dangerous cookware.
The non-stick properties of this cookware are achieved with a coating of PTFE or Polytetrafluoroethylene.
PTFE is a plastic polymer that when heated above 572 degrees F, starts to release toxins.
These toxin fumes can cause flu-like symptoms called polymer fume fever or Teflon flu.
Another chemical compound found in Teflon is PFOA or Perfluorooctanoic acid.
Its a man-made chemical also known as C8.
Elevated levels of aluminum in the body have been linked to several nervous system diseases including Alzheimers and ALS.
As for aluminum foil, using it while cooking is even more dangerous.
Lead poisoning is one of the most dangerous types of metal poisoning and can result in multiple body problems.
Cadmium, on the other hand, is toxic even in the tiniest amount.
If it does get in your body, it will negatively impact your various systems.
