First, thank you for the info. Second, FYI, the cookware appliances you have linked, i.e. (to name 2 of them) the oven ($250) & rice cooker($150+) have, respectively, ceramic coated aluminum baking sheet & the other a plastic exterior, which you said in the video are toxic (ceramic coated can chip and release aluminum, plastic gives off toxins when heated) Perhaps you weren't aware of this, but thank you for trying to help. Aside from that, the prices are... out of the range of lower income family's budgets. The toxic ingestion will continue till people stand up, "put their foot down" & demand the responsible manufacturing/ end use of these chemicals by big corporations which apparently our government, who we pay to regulate these things & protect us, is not doing.
It's all BS don't worry about it... Government is trying to get rid of us for decades poisoning are food. I'm 60 and can't wait to leave this horrible evil corrupt World.
Augh I am already paranoid from fighting cancer for the past two years. All my life I thought I was being healthy and there are soooooo many toxic things out there I was unaware of 😮💨 why are we not suing the government for allowing this? This is so frustrating 😵💫
Human hormones are carcinogens, go to cancer.gov I've had people in my family get breast cancer that never smoked, they're mad at me and won't talk to me I've had two cousins that have had breast cancer one of my cousins wonders why I don't have breast cancer, I told her because I have Addison's disease I don't make enough hormones estrogen is a carcinogen that's why people that never smoked get cancer
Basically, live the our grandparents did with old timers stuff. Like I bet cast iron won't be on this list. It's not your fault. Big pharma and big food have been programming us to make money and poison us all at the same time. Shameful actually.
Finally someone telling the truth about non-stick cook wear. Too many corporate lobbyists make sure that laws don't get past to protect our health, but make sure profits are protected
People who keep pet birds already know this! Birds being some 17X MORE sensitive than we are these products are *instant death* when used in the same house.
This isn't about money, this is about making us sick & killing us. Please WAKE UP to the Truth about who controls our world & the fact that they have been doing this to us for hundreds of years. You know we are in WWIII, right?
Yesterday, I watched the Diary of a CEO video featuring you and my mind was blown. I'm rethinking a bunch of items in my house right now and starting to do my own research into possible replacements. Thank you so much for all that you do!
As with so many things we buy it is disgusting that this stuff is allowed to even make it into the market and be sold to unsuspecting, trusting people. Thank you for your info
Our government allows it - thru the greedy manufacturers'. on BOTH sides of the Isle. and when they leave office, many just start to work for those same Corporations.... and on it rolls
My Mun told us in 1960 not to use New Non stick cookware. Her Sis came from USA & told Mum why... Now we have Film Dark Waters. Devils Piss to tell every one... Its out a few yrs now..
I thought that the health hazards of non-stick cookware were common knowledge by now. But yet, it's still on the market, with no warning labels, and people still keep buying and using it because they aren't even aware that using non-stick cookware presents a health risk. The fact that it's still alliwed to even be sold is criminal.
My father learned refrigeration in college in the early 1950s. Because of this, he would never let Teflon coated pots or pans be used in our house. He told us that at high heat it let off a poisonous gas. I still don't have any such kitchen wear.
A friend got a job out of school in sales at DuPont about 35 years ago. He was friends with an engineer/developer there and asked what he thought about teflon. He said he absolutely would not use it as it degraded and leached over time. That sold me about 25 years ago...he also said avoid heat and styrofoam.
I cooked at a hostel with chinese teflon pans for 3 hours for a rockband. This pots where scratched all over. I was probably gassed and i ate from it that day. Next day got sick. To make the story short. I developed acute leucemia. 😢
Thankyou for sharring with us, also people who sleep next to a wall with fridge on the other side may get cancer. This can be REVERSED by EARTHING, soursop fruit
FOR THE BIRDS!! Here is a fact: If you accidentally burn food while cooking with Teflon-coated cookware and you have pet birds ... IT CAN KILL THEM. Like the canaries in the mines.. you darn well know it is affecting humans as well. THANK YOU DOCTOR we need this to be shouted from the roof tops.
Exactly, and that's why in 1999 I tossed out anything teflon that I had (2 frying pans, my cookware was ok). Since then my beloved parrot has died but teflon has still not come through my doors. Won't go near the stuff. I also buy products in jars and when done, wash and save those for storing leftovers instead of plastic containers. I still store some things in the freezer in freezer bags but at least I've reduced my exposure.
That's Funny You Say That.... I had a Friend Who had Some Small "Patriots".... He had Just Painted His House🏠.... and the "Birds" Started Acting Weird(Like They're Equilibrium was off).... Well a Few Days Later He Found One of Them Dead at the Bottom of the Cage.... So He Gave Me a Call to Try to Find Out What Might Be Going on(Me and My Girlfriend had Birds Too).... So His One "Bird" was Dead.... and the Other was Not Looking Good.... So I Decided to Take the "Bird" Back to My Place.... and Low and Behold.... the "Bird" Recovered Within a Couple of Days.... and Then We Realized it was the "Toxicity" From the "Fresh Paint" That was Messing with Them.... Long Story Short.... Realizing This.... Me and My Girlfriend Ended Up Keeping the "Bird".... So the "Cannery" in the "Coal Mine" Concept is 100% Correct....
So summed up in two sentences: Almost every Cookware nowadays leeches PFAS into our foods. You can use stainless steel or cast iron pans, but in order to be 100% safe you need pure ceramic cookware.
PFAS are about to be banned in the EU and the industrie already reacted by producing non-stick-surfaces without PFAS or other dangerous chemicals. So in about 10 years, PFAS will be an almost forgotten topic like CFCs. Some things are fixable.
@@catulusinferni8612 not really. Old pfas are getting banned. Newer ones aren t even questionned for now (too many jobs at risk, a few tefal plants in the EU). Just like how it went with néonicotinoïdes, old ones were forbidden, new ones are still used. It s purely a PR stunt.
I wish she would have gone into more detail on safe cookware. From a hobby chef and not toxicologist, stainless steel is the best for non-reactivity, especially if it is sealed. If you have the money for it, Hestan Nano-bond is the best since it is a titanium coating. That said, it costs a fortune, and not many people will be able to afford it. For non-stick, I agree that teflon pans are awful. Cast iron and carbon steel are the way to go here. Yes, building up the seasoning takes time, but if you do it right, it will last lifetimes. Ceramic coating really isn't great at being nonstick, and it doesn't have a great lifespan, especially for serious cooking. I wish she would have talked more about coated cast iron and stoneware. Those are typically solid pieces (depending on the brand) and can last forever.
Long, long before anyone was worried about non stick, I tried one. I noticed it was wearing out, and I thought "Where is that going?".... 🤔... It's not hard... In your Food ‼️💥And then I got out the cast iron skillet someone gave me when he moved, and I've still got it.
I remember that as a kid.. the pans would get worn down to aluminium... Then pit... That's even worse, a toxic metal. I've used steel pans for 30 years. I remember reading that Teflon passed through the body and didn't get absorbed by it, and remember thinking what a load of crap. I try to tell friends but haven't got anyone to switch... Another source of toxicity are deodorants, I try to tell people that all those chemicals end up being absorbed, and that many drugs and medications are administered via skin to prove it happens, but nope.. it's amazing how willingly people let these evil, evil corporations literally murder them in their tens of not hundreds of thousands.
@@mikethebloodthirsty Also underarm deodorants block a series of major nodes that are responsible for removing heavy metals and other nasties from our bodies. The deodorants black the pores under the arm so the toxic materials have no where to go and build up normally resulting in a variety of cancers.
@@mikethebloodthirsty World wants to smell good, to hell with the consequences. My wife shares with her people the insanity that is her husband. We will see I respond, keep eating your Gmo's, coated pans, microwaves,,,.
@@mikethebloodthirstythat's convenient for them and apparently is more important to them then their health..I can relate my family think I'm done weird hippie bcuz I don't use any oils don't drink tap and use cast iron
@@mikethebloodthirsty Sprays to water proof boots are a major source of PFAS as well. Outdoorsy people can test with elevated PFAS levels for that reason. One could use high quality masks (not the ones like we used during the pandemice, but the ones that would be needed for some paint jobs). And it is possible that one can use these masks only ONE time, depends on what happens to the pores. The warnings on the spray bottles were always to only use them outside and not when it is windy. I am not sure if there is any method to water proof boots or garments (which does not alter the optics). I read a thread of someone that had a mixture for boots for whitewater rafting. He wrote that even quality boots will not hold up for long (the rocks, the gravel, the water, they get a lot of mechanical damage). So he buys low to medium price boots applies his mixture and they hold up better than any expensive boot (which is still not long, I guess 2 seasons max.) And it was something brushed on I think, and I do not think it contained PFAS. Maybe silicone based ?
Another issue with Teflon/PTFE cookware is the when it wears out, it cannot be recycled. Smelting PTFE coated metal releases dioxins (extreme birth defects) which is not permitted so these all go to landfill. And when the manufacturers say ‘long lasting’ what they mean is that it won’t last. And if you overheat just once to fat smoking point, the PTFE is damaged and the pan is no longer nonstick and the guarantee void.
All recycling is a scam unless you do it on your own. They used to ship it to China & then after the war started in March 2020, China said no more. Also, they send old computers to some 3rd world country (I can't remember the name) & the kids who are paid, get cancer from ripping them apart. Learn the Truth about the lies the evils spread. They are destroying & killing us & our Mother Earth & then people believe them that it's us doing this when it's not. I don't do ANYTHING to destroy our world, do you? Stop believing in the lies & watching your fake news which brainwashes you. There is no CC, it's a lie with a huge agenda which we are already seeing. Do you not know they are making it illegal to have anything gas in your home including your car? I use to believe in global warming & was Green for decades until I woke up to the Truth about what is really going on.
Very good. I dug out my stainless steel pan and it's fantastic. You make it non-stick by curing it with oils or Crisco...easier than a cast iron pan. Kudos to you for being a woman of substance and utilizing social media for intelligent, informative and very positive reasons. Applause.
@@imaplugger I agree and looked into that for seasoning a pan. Not to cook with = bad!!! The overall buildup is from olive oil, as what happens with a wok (I used a wok for years). I use olive oil for cooking. Some use grapeseed, avocado or peanut oil to season it.
Finally... a Dr who actually took their oath to do no harm!!!! I honestly cannot Thank You enough for having the heart not to mention the guts to speak up to help educate us all!!!! The admiration and respect I have for you is difficult to even put into words and I am very grateful to have found your channel.

Let's also include, not good for animals. Our parakeets died because my son was cooking (with non-stick cookware we had, since got rid of the pans) and he forgot to turn off the fire and the windows were closed and the fumes killed them. He was house sitting for us and watching my daughter's birds while we were on vacation. We didn't know what killed them until I asked a parakeet expert and she asked if we had the non-stick pans. So sad.
I’ll never forget my husband called me at work and said the bird just died. He just had a seizure and died. Now back then I never asked him if he was cooking on a nonstick pan, but it was breakfast time and I think that’s probably what happened.
Have you seen Dark Waters with Mark Gruffalo - Netflix A true story about Teflon in small town where it's made! How they poisoned the water and covered it up. And continued for years after thry knew of the damage. Would terrify you - what these multi billion companies do just to make more money. !
What enabled dupont to do what they did? What incentivized them? Our entire superstructure of political and economic systems. Dupont is merely a symptom. There are countless other companies that do similar or worse damage to us and the environment. Capitalism is the real enemy. We can play corporate whack-a-mole all we want, it will never solve the base problems. Capitalism is psychopathic, terminally sick, and inherently anti-life. Socialism now.

My mom only used high-quality stainless steel and cast iron . All six of her kids (in our sixties and seventies) are free so far of any dementia and cancer including my mom at 90. I work in Healthcare with Alzheimer's patients. The two I have now have only used all aluminum cookware for their adult life.
Aluminimum is not toxicity free as well have you see the video at 8:35? Might be just your genetics. It was said in the video, it is in water, air, fish, hygenic products etc. Just replacing cookware does not make any sense. Like being surrounded by non stop smokers but telling people not to smoke at 12 every day. 😂😂😂
The problem is. Companies do not disclose chemicals used in their cookware. So hell knows what they’re putting in them. Even when they label it free of PFOA/PFOS free of lead etc. we never know what they replace it with or what other toxic chemicals can be in there.
As there have been restrictions of PFAS recently NOW the companies have to apply for excemptions. NOW it comes out where PfAS are used (pizza carton linings, cosmetics !, likely also for baking paper. And dental floss - really ?. It is like detecting that they put sugar into any industrially processed foods, even sour / hot / savoury food. One expects PFAS in nonstick cookware, and knowledgeable people know they are in proofed tableware (tableclothes that have stain / water protection. Maybe also for the cushions of outdoor furniture). If one uses spray to waterproof shoes and boots - that is also a major source to absorb PFAS. I saw a video about PFAS *. The journalist got her blood checked and she expected to have below average load. Nope: She was well above average. She then remembered that she was very active outdoors some years ago and used a lot of spray to water proof her boots. * Faroer Islanders have problems too. They have the folclore tradition of slaughtering pilote whales when they show up (there is a season for that - and animal activists have protested against that unnecessary blood bath for the longest time). Turns out that massacre - not necessary these days for survival - got the folks from the islands into trouble. These remote islands off the coast of Scotland do not have so much input of any pollution by air - but as the PFAS concentrate in the food chain in the oceans and pilote whales eat fish, squid etc. .... - the chemicals are concentrated in them (and likely other toxins than PFAS as well). There is a strong folclore tradition behind it - the people used to be poor, so back in the day the pilote whales where a godsend to have enough food and especially to have enough fat. (food and for burning it for light, maybe even for heating). For the same reason one should abstain from eating Tuna (also a predatory fish).
Uh yes they do, have been doing so for ages. This is, at most, a regulatory issue with whatever country you're dealing with. It's not some secret, magic sauce, there isn't that much to hide here.
Some of the nasty side effects of modern day conveniences. Nonstick is popular because people don’t want to put any effort into scrubbing posts and pans. People feel it’s better to cook with nonstick pans and wash them in the dishwasher using toxic dishwashing detergent. One day scientists will overcome their Frankenstein creations, hopefully there will be more than a handful of humans left on earth to see it. t
I've been using non stick for years, and continued to use them once the coating is damaged :( I wish I knew how harmful these pans were. It seems like everything we touch these days is harmful, unless you do a lot of research about every single physical object. It's exhausting trying to keep up with what we should avoid these days, but I am very thankful for videos like this because the info is out there.
I'm beset with a lot of autoimmune and inflammation issues that has had major effects to my cardiovascular and nerveous system. This is invaluable thank you

Thank you, f’s sake!! Already disliked the video and nearly considered reporting it for being misleading. There are about 200 15min-3hr long videos about this same tired topic, each of them you have to watch 5 million 30 seconds ads a piece (if you’re using the app), all of them saying conflicting things and droning on about nonsense. Ridiculous.
Thank you for your work. I am old, and never used these non-stick pans, but I`m really mad about the waste problem that derived from this mightful, evil industry. Don't let anybody get between you and your mission, dear sister!!
I think you mean the evils. They control ALL industries worldwide & they do this all on purpose to make us sick targeting our brain, thyroid & digestive system. They needed to take out the male species so they wouldn't fight back during this war we are in. sigh
I had to look really hard for an air fryer without teflon or aluminium, happy with my choice, it works great. Also glad to hear why teflon is bad in a way I understand, scary stuff, want to avoid it!
We can’t but we can do our best to avoid further exposure. I provide safer options and tips in every single piece of content I create to help people make informed decisions.
Doctors will tell you to quit smoking and then they'll turn around and give you a medicine that causes cancer that's been banned in europe, you have to research everything including medicines doctors give you prescriptions for because then you find out it's been banned in Europe and they cause cancer
Thank you, this is such an important subject. I've been talking about this for years, haven't used teflon since the 90's. And back in the days people told me I'm just paranoid. Toxic free living is a lot of work but worth it.
Hello, I am a registered dietitian and diabetes educator. I have been making these arguments for a long time and am happy to find your channel and have subscribed. I have a question regarding aluminum cookware. I know that many years ago that data suggested links between it and Alzheimer's disease, but, I thought that had been shown not to be so on the basis that the aluminum found in autopsied brains was now thought to have accumulated as a result of plaque formation, rather that as a cause of plaque formation. Can you give me the sources for your information on this. Also, I haven't watched the rest of your videos yet, but, I think it is very important to get people to stop microwaving anything in plastic containers. Have you done a report on this? Also, is there anyone testing soil or offering soil test kits for plastics and PFAC's? I buy organic soil but it does come in plastic bags. My child developed ulcerative colitis and I am doing everything I can to make her diet as safe as possible. Thanks for your work.
Sorry but I find your data behind the times. They already found many strains of probiotics to help you detox plastics and if you have a gene that is slowed down, you dont detox these things correctly.
Mrs got me a large stainless steel pan as a gift and its so much better to cook with than the fancy non stick rock coat blah blah scratched up pan i had before. Do reccomend!
I'm a retired academic but worked in a lot of various office environments doing grad stuff; there was a current malaise that was linked to huge spikes in absenteeism and found to be due to toxins in the physical environment.

This is fascinating will check out other videos. Tx! Moving to a cabin in the woods with my dog (lol but not a bad idea.)

Thanks for sharing! My favorite is the Our Place Wonder Oven. Be on the lookout for plastic parts that are exposed to heat in any appliance used for foods especially.
Thank you for mentioning the Fritaire. I found it on Amazon and it looks wonderful. It's a bit pricy, though, so I am comparing to the ones mentioned in this video.
@SayHelloToOblivion awesome! Yeah it's about the same price as the wonder oven. The other glass one she mentioned is affordable but I believe it's massive. The fritaire is the perfect size to leave on the counter if you wanted to.

Your instagram videos made me look for a new rice pot! I found one with a stainless steel inner pot, but it wasn't easy to find! I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's been working pretty well. For those also looking for a rice cooker, I bought the Aroma Housewares Select Stainless Rice cooker ARC-753SGB (6 cups cooked)
My air fryer one day started smelling like burnt plastic! I lost a whole set of burgers! We aired out the house asap. I threw it out after that! Never again. I just got schooled on this channel! Thanks!
I am literally ready to head out to the store to pick up an air fryer... I saw a suggested video out of the blue (I wasn't even on this topic or air fryers of any kind) & see this scienctific lady's vid on nonstickchems on cookware & she warns about air fryers being the worst. Needless to say my plans changed, I won't buy one.

I also double layer the pan with parchment paper so my food doesn't touch the non-stick I also don't sense any burnt plastic fumes and it gets the job done for me. I will look into convection ovens though. Thanks!
Thanks for this. I just went to my cabinets and pulled out all of my cookware that I haven’t used in a long time and tossed them. Maybe subconsciously I knew something was wrong with them because they were all nonstick pans, microwave safe plastic, or old pitted aluminum! Love my cast iron
And they blame cigarettes so much all this time. Meanwhile poisoning people with just about everything else. People who never smoked got cancers and all kinds of other deseases.
Reminds me of sanji (one piece) an anime character, he got stuck on an island with all the gold with a pirate yet had nothing to eat.. and both him and the pirate never wasted food after that and valued food over money..
To Yvonne. So what about if the cookware has plastic as its “house” forc example the glass air fryer you mentioned has a plastic outside of the heating element inside. Is it separated enough and does it not heat up the plastic and release chemicals in the air that way?
Please talk about the french made “Visions” glass cookware… they seem to be the safest since they are made of glass…thank you for all that you do to keep us informed😀🙏🏻✌🏻

It's also super safe for humans unless you keep heating your teflon pans on a coal burner for long periods or some nonsense. There is very little to worry about with this.
Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting the point of this video. Sure, I could get rid of my nonstick cookware, but this toxicologist mentioned about everything we find everywhere all the time! Even in blessed polar bears! What are we supposed to run away from?

It isn't. it uses microwaves on unnatural frequencies (they amp up the frequency of the waves without decreasing the amplitude). Long term, it is also extremely bad as it is highly unnatural. ANYTHING unnatural (as in artificially produced or induced) is inherently bad for a natural being. It is THAT simple of a truth but no one seems to get it. Haven't used a microwave for almost ten years now. Ppl need to STOP ALL artificial produces in order to return to natural balance. It is the only way but as long as those same ppl keep lusting for money, profit and power over others, you and I and every other human being is EFFED! Worst thing? Those contributing to this madness are even cursing and damning their own kin! For money!! They really are that blinded by wealth and profit!
Great info, exactly what I wanted to know about PFAS and PFOS, but especially your mention of PTFE as i could not find much info on it after i bought a wok sized pan that had a PTFE labeling and not PFAS or PFOS. I also wonder about these pans that have white-ish or copper color and not the usual plain black interior. I also noticed that these teflon pans should not be heated with extreme heat but if you do, you will smell a peculiar odor -- toxin/toxic, not good.
Super valuable information and appreciate you posting about this! As a non-science person (like probably much of your audience), it would be much easier to follow with more words and diagrams on the screen
Thank You for this! I just shared this with many people. Our first clue should have been the warning not to use teflon cookware around birds...I am going to go through my kitchen.
According to the Wikipedia article on PTFE toxicity, it took about a 4 hour exposure for the fumes to kill their test parakeets. The temperature used was somewhere above 500 deg F, which is higher than the smoke point for almost all cooking oils.
I was made aware of tixicity in my youth by a foid additive specialist who came to a uni study party with her home made salad, when all otherems brought junk food. I was horrified. 25 years ago. Far worse now. Thanks for telling. Suggestion: do a video on homes full of mold. Outright dangerous for a cancer patient.
Re food contamination, Are you saying how we store food is an issue because I think how we view seeds are another problem. Many seeds have mould from the start.
The health hazard of teflon was known for 30+ years. Initially, 30 some years ago, customers were well educated about the risks of Teflon. But for some unknown reasons, gradually after about 10 years, no one talks about it anymore. I have always wondered why and have been trying my best to spread the words but no one seems to care. I am glad you are taking about it and thank you.
I think the Teflon producers made some adjustments that supposedly made the non-stick chemicals non-toxic. Also, there was news about Teflon only being dangerous if heated to very high levels. That was the spin. I don't know if the later versions of Teflon are really any less toxic.
if you burn anything while using Teflon-coated cookware, it will kill any pet bird. Sadly this happened to my sister and she lost all three pet birds.@@PinkBroBlueRope
@PinkBroBlueRope . It's well known for the last 10 years that Teflon is very poisonous. I left a pan on and my birds suddenly looked very unwell, I saw smoke, realised what I'd done. I managed to save them all. Had to rush them all out into fresh air, and air the house out. My stupidity for suddenly falling asleep.
Birds die from inhaling fumes formed when nonstick finishes get hot. Manufacturers will say that it only happens when the cook wear gets too hot. Birds disagree.
How about all the restaurants with their cooks and chefs using aluminum pots and pans for cooking??!!! Given all the toxicity mentioned, you'd think all these toxic cookware would be outlawed but you see it in restaurants all the time!!!
No restaurant that I worked in during my younger years used aluminum pots/pans. Most were stainless steel and a few special purpose pans were copper. The closest I have seen is stainless steel with an aluminum core.
I actually bought a set of Green Pan resently before I saw this video. So far, I'm very pleased with it. I do pre season it. The cleaning instructions are very clear about how to clean them. While the Pan or pot is still hot. I just wipe it out with a very soft paper towel. So far so good. I will eventually buy the first set that she was talking about these all ceramic. It's a little out of my budget right now. Thanks for the comment. If you have not seen Dark Waters, I strongly suggest you do. It will explain this entire mess with these forever chemicals..
Thank you so much Dr Burkhart 😮 I can’t believe we’ve been living in this toxic world and my dad is showing signs of dimentia😢 Thank you for all the information you are putting out there and my air fryer is going out as well as my bakeware. I’m so thankful 😅got all your hard work and dedication 💝
Ugh, I just bought another roll of parchment paper and silicon cooking cups. Sometimes I tell myself “I’m old,already body is contaminated and I have to die of something” makes me angry that companies make products with known or at least suspicious chemicals that poison us and the world we live in.
Ikr..... It's so defeating. Here I am trying to save money and cook at home and my 2 favorite cooking methods - air fryer and pressure cooker - may be affecting my health?? Can't catch a break these days it seems. No offense to the video creator. It's just tiring running around behind the manufacturers trying to clean up their empty promises of economy and safety 😒
Tefon is a poision and yet it is used in cookware. I use cast iron and sometimes stainless steel and glass. I also stay away from plastic to reheat food..
For those who haven't seen the movie Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo, I highly recommend it. Its a super underrated movie. It's based on the true story of a farmer who sued the big corporation who invented this toxic chemical or "forever chemicals".
Have an enamel pan and a carbon steel pan. Both are great. The carbon steel needs a bit more care when cooking, but not really a big difference to "non stick". "Convenience" can be harmful in many ways...

Good video though there is a small gap. a) critical temperature to stay below b) critical ph and how to raise that pH , hint it requires pH buffers which are sugar and salt. c) the combination of pH and temperature. d) if temperature is a key part then slow cookers with an appropriate surface would be another option. What other pH buffers are there excluding sugar and salt? The food needs to be as close to pH 7 as possible especially for aluminium as it is 'amphoteric' ie it reacts with both acids and alkalis. I am thinking boiling would be better ie soups without browning any ingredients possibly with greens or starchy food such as grains. Eating from raw where it is safe to do so is a good option but also moving away from a disposable consumer culture and processed foods. By the time you remove all those disposables, ready meals and unnecessary detergents etc a safer product becomes more affordable.
I bought a WOK from a Korean company called Surlagang Royal Chef and it is coated with Marble, then nano silver below. Also used cast iron and ceramic.
Hi! I stumbled to your video by scrolling on RUclips. I'm 60 y/o man. After looking at your video, i know my body (organs and tissues) have who knows how much and types of chemicals from foods I've consumed. I am a college graduate and also work in the health care industry. I have no doubt that these chemicals have contributed to my early decline in health such as overweight, pains, inflammation, decreased in energy. The question is, what to do to get rid of those chemicals embedded in tissue?
Thank you for watching. Practicing toxic avoidance by filtering water and air, cooking whole foods, and removing toxic ingredients in household products while simultaneously supporting liver & kidney detoxification is how we can protect our health. I share specific product swaps and tips in every video. 🙏🏽
I just bought the glass air fryer called Big Boss and the stainless steel rice cooker from Aroma. Wish I would have made the switch years ago!!!Been using stainless steel pots for years. Medical grade stainless.
@@etg9080 No. They cook more efficiently and evenly than other baking methods. I have one that is stainless steel and glass. It's fine. They are just ultra convection bakers. They have a strong fan that blows around a lot of air, that's all. The convection/movement of the air heats things up more quickly and evenly, as air (especially still air) is not a particularly good cooking medium because it is quite non conductive (still air is a great insulator, which is how goose down works so well, as it is great at trapping/stilling lots of air). This is why boiling, steaming, and pan cooking will cook things faster than baking. A lot of the baking that happens with ovens, bakers, etc is actually through the radiant heat. This is the part of the energy transfer that acts like light and doesn't need any other medium (like water, air, metal, etc) to move through. Radiant heat is how the Sun warms the Earth, since that heat energy light is moving through space, which is a vacuum with no air, etc. But moving the air around a lot, helps this fluid (the air) to impart more thermal energy to the colder, denser material (the food) also. Pressure cookers though are the most energy efficient way to cook.
We have an airfryer, but I never trusted it: even after years of use you still get that chemical smell when it is hot. "But it's safe", the manual claims.
if you realize that those manuals are written by a corporation only set out to make "money", you SHOULD be aware that they are lying to you about ANY kind of health issues. They are ALL money-hungry, profit-lusting LIARS!
You can get full enamel coated cast iron, but try to avoid scratching with metal utensils. Unfortunately, you don't know if it will leach lead. Newer enamel cookware should not have lead, but how do we know?
Well, that some nice bunch of BS. Even in cited paper it is stated, that... well, there is no certainty about toxicity: "In short, it can be concluded that more comprehensive and systematic studies on the possible environmental and health risks of PTFE and related gases under high-temperature conditions must be performed. Both in vitro and in vivo assays should be considered. If data indicates that safety concerns exist about the use of PTFE coatings in cookware, national and international environment protection agencies should declare their clear stance on this subject. If such safety issues are there, a criterion should be developed to state that in which applications use of PTFE is safe. This all needs to be done on an urgent basis to access the potential health risks related to PTFE and associated chemicals". Moreover, you are exposed for PFOA in much higher doses from other daily-used products. And let's not forget that much more dangerous substances are present when we fry food on pans with fat. You mix papers about PFOA in general with statements about pans, what is just misleading. But well, at least you advertised a company that produces its cookware in China - nice isn't it?
Thank you Dr Burkart. I am throwing out all of this crap from my kitchen today! Thankfully I already have cast iron and carbon steel, stainless steel pans, woks and more.
Learned how to make stainless steel nonstick and it was a game changer. Able to cook scramble eggs with no issue. Washing was a breeze with soft sponge
I switched over to cast iron ten years ago and it's the best choice I've made with cookware. If you take good care of them, you can past them down to your kids, then their kids to their kids, etc. Sure, there might be some iron that leaches out with high acidity foods, but it can be good for people with iron deficiencies. I've cooked frozen potstickers/gyoza on these things, it's that good, especially when well seasoned.
I read that one also can season stainless steel pans - I understood it takes more patience as cat iron has more pores so the very thin "burnt-in" oil / lard layer has it easier to build up. I will check that out. Thanks Dr. Yvonne Burkart, I will get rid of my Teflon pans.
I saw a video about PFAS, the journalist assumed that she would be below average PFAS load, and had it checked. Turns out she is above average. She then remembered that she used to spray her boots a lot a few years ago when she was very active outdoors. The water repellent stuff. The bottles have the warnings on them: only to use them outdoors, only to use them if it is not windy. A good mask would be in order (one like painters have them).
@@dryvonneburkart At the Faroer islands (remote islands off the coast of Scotland) they have high PFAS loads. These islands have much less pollution. But in the past they had the tradition of slaughtering pilot whales (those eat fish and squid). Back in the day that was necessary for survival on these isolated, poor islands. They continued doing it when the gruesome hunt was not necessary anymore and ignored the protests of animal activists, 'cause tradition / folclore. Well, that did not end well for them. Unfortunately the children there have unusually high levels. I guess another reason might be the use of spray to waterproof jackets and boots - fishery is one of the few professions there. And wool / sheep plus a bit or tourism.
You usually season cast iron with oil and fat, and burn the "coating" to high temperature over and over again, why is it better/healthier than a type of plastic that is highly resistant to strong acid?
Thank you for the video! My family is trying to avoid any Teflon already for the last 10 years as we knew about its harm to health.. still this material is used in production of different items..
I’ve always wondered about the bottom of scrambled eggs turning a slight grey if you leave them in a non-stick pan after fully cooked. I have always wondered is this the pan leeching or why do the bottom of the eggs turn a bit grey.
I use the Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer that incorporates both air fryer and instant pot. It is PFAS -free. The cons are that your food might stick, and it's a smaller basket than dedicated air fryers, but for 1-2 people or occasional air frying I would highly recommend. After 2 years, I still use mine often, both the air fryer and instant pot, and having multiple uses in one appliance saves counter space. However, the inner fryer basket does have a ceramic coating which, as the video explains, could still be problematic if it gets scratched.

How about ceramic and stainless cookware?
What about waxed paper
First, thank you for the info. Second, FYI, the cookware appliances you have linked, i.e. (to name 2 of them) the oven ($250) & rice cooker($150+) have, respectively, ceramic coated aluminum baking sheet & the other a plastic exterior, which you said in the video are toxic (ceramic coated can chip and release aluminum, plastic gives off toxins when heated) Perhaps you weren't aware of this, but thank you for trying to help. Aside from that, the prices are... out of the range of lower income family's budgets. The toxic ingestion will continue till people stand up, "put their foot down" & demand the responsible manufacturing/ end use of these chemicals by big corporations which apparently our government, who we pay to regulate these things & protect us, is not doing.
You might also consider clay utensils. My mother used to use a Römertopf for baking - this was in Germany. Look it up.
It's all BS don't worry about it...
Government is trying to get rid of us for decades poisoning are food.
I'm 60 and can't wait to leave this horrible evil corrupt World.
Thank you, Dr Burkhart. You are doing the lord’s work sharing this information with us 🎉
Thank you kindly
Augh I am already paranoid from fighting cancer for the past two years. All my life I thought I was being healthy and there are soooooo many toxic things out there I was unaware of 😮💨 why are we not suing the government for allowing this? This is so frustrating 😵💫
Human hormones are carcinogens, go to cancer.gov I've had people in my family get breast cancer that never smoked, they're mad at me and won't talk to me I've had two cousins that have had breast cancer one of my cousins wonders why I don't have breast cancer, I told her because I have Addison's disease I don't make enough hormones estrogen is a carcinogen that's why people that never smoked get cancer
Governments use people like cattle ...
Basically, live the our grandparents did with old timers stuff. Like I bet cast iron won't be on this list. It's not your fault. Big pharma and big food have been programming us to make money and poison us all at the same time. Shameful actually.
I agree! It's overwhelming. I had breast cancer in 2019. 😢
I had uterine cancer and survived. My prayers are with you. Good luck 👍🏻.
Finally someone telling the truth about non-stick cook wear. Too many corporate lobbyists make sure that laws don't get past to protect our health, but make sure profits are protected

Not even warnings. Like if cooking at high temps or replace if scratched and do not use

My Mun told us in 1960 not to use New Non stick cookware. Her Sis came from USA & told Mum why...
Now we have Film Dark Waters. Devils Piss to tell every one... Its out a few yrs now..
I thought that the health hazards of non-stick cookware were common knowledge by now. But yet, it's still on the market, with no warning labels, and people still keep buying and using it because they aren't even aware that using non-stick cookware presents a health risk. The fact that it's still alliwed to even be sold is criminal.
My father learned refrigeration in college in the early 1950s. Because of this, he would never let Teflon coated pots or pans be used in our house. He told us that at high heat it let off a poisonous gas. I still don't have any such kitchen wear.
A friend got a job out of school in sales at DuPont about 35 years ago. He was friends with an engineer/developer there and asked what he thought about teflon. He said he absolutely would not use it as it degraded and leached over time. That sold me about 25 years ago...he also said avoid heat and styrofoam.
@@dewdew34 thanks for everyone confirmation
I cooked at a hostel with chinese teflon pans for 3 hours for a rockband. This pots where scratched all over.

This is 100% right .
Exactly, and that's why in 1999 I tossed out anything teflon that I had (2 frying pans, my cookware was ok). Since then my beloved parrot has died but teflon has still not come through my doors. Won't go near the stuff.
I also buy products in jars and when done, wash and save those for storing leftovers instead of plastic containers. I still store some things in the freezer in freezer bags but at least I've reduced my exposure.
That's Funny You Say That.... I had a Friend Who had Some Small "Patriots".... He had Just Painted His House🏠.... and the "Birds" Started Acting Weird(Like They're Equilibrium was off)....

@@incensejunkie7516 Yep.... No Doubt 🧐 About it.... The Plastic Shit has Got Way Out of Control....
OK so now NOTHING is safe..
So summed up in two sentences:
Almost every Cookware nowadays leeches PFAS into our foods. You can use stainless steel or cast iron pans, but in order to be 100% safe you need pure ceramic cookware.
Thanks for watching
What about glass?? I seen people boil water with glass
PFAS are about to be banned in the EU and the industrie already reacted by producing non-stick-surfaces without PFAS or other dangerous chemicals. So in about 10 years, PFAS will be an almost forgotten topic like CFCs. Some things are fixable.
@@catulusinferni8612 not really.
Old pfas are getting banned. Newer ones aren t even questionned for now (too many jobs at risk, a few tefal plants in the EU).
Just like how it went with néonicotinoïdes, old ones were forbidden, new ones are still used.
It s purely a PR stunt.
I wish she would have gone into more detail on safe cookware. From a hobby chef and not toxicologist, stainless steel is the best for non-reactivity, especially if it is sealed. If you have the money for it, Hestan Nano-bond is the best since it is a titanium coating. That said, it costs a fortune, and not many people will be able to afford it.
For non-stick, I agree that teflon pans are awful. Cast iron and carbon steel are the way to go here. Yes, building up the seasoning takes time, but if you do it right, it will last lifetimes. Ceramic coating really isn't great at being nonstick, and it doesn't have a great lifespan, especially for serious cooking.
I wish she would have talked more about coated cast iron and stoneware. Those are typically solid pieces (depending on the brand) and can last forever.
so, we're just screwed already.
how is this easily avoidable?
it's in all our furniture, food, water, air, care products, and everything else.
Switch products and filter water and air.
Stop eating processed food.
as consumers, we speak the loudest through our purchases. change them, and those around u.
Long, long before anyone was worried about non stick, I tried one. I noticed it was wearing out, and I thought "Where is that going?".... 🤔... It's not hard... In your Food ‼️💥And then I got out the cast iron skillet someone gave me when he moved, and I've still got it.
I remember that as a kid.. the pans would get worn down to aluminium... Then pit... That's even worse, a toxic metal. I've used steel pans for 30 years. I remember reading that Teflon passed through the body and didn't get absorbed by it, and remember thinking what a load of crap. I try to tell friends but haven't got anyone to switch... Another source of toxicity are deodorants, I try to tell people that all those chemicals end up being absorbed, and that many drugs and medications are administered via skin to prove it happens, but nope.. it's amazing how willingly people let these evil, evil corporations literally murder them in their tens of not hundreds of thousands.
@@mikethebloodthirsty Also underarm deodorants block a series of major nodes that are responsible for removing heavy metals and other nasties from our bodies. The deodorants black the pores under the arm so the toxic materials have no where to go and build up normally resulting in a variety of cancers.
@@mikethebloodthirsty World wants to smell good, to hell with the consequences. My wife shares with her people the insanity that is her husband.

@@mikethebloodthirstythat's convenient for them and apparently is more important to them then their health..I can relate my family think I'm done weird hippie bcuz I don't use any oils don't drink tap and use cast iron
@@mikethebloodthirsty Sprays to water proof boots are a major source of PFAS as well. Outdoorsy people can test with elevated PFAS levels for that reason. One could use high quality masks (not the ones like we used during the pandemice, but the ones that would be needed for some paint jobs). And it is possible that one can use these masks only ONE time, depends on what happens to the pores. The warnings on the spray bottles were always to only use them outside and not when it is windy.
I am not sure if there is any method to water proof boots or garments (which does not alter the optics). I read a thread of someone that had a mixture for boots for whitewater rafting. He wrote that even quality boots will not hold up for long (the rocks, the gravel, the water, they get a lot of mechanical damage). So he buys low to medium price boots applies his mixture and they hold up better than any expensive boot (which is still not long, I guess 2 seasons max.)
And it was something brushed on I think, and I do not think it contained PFAS. Maybe silicone based ?
Another issue with Teflon/PTFE cookware is the when it wears out, it cannot be recycled. Smelting PTFE coated metal releases dioxins (extreme birth defects) which is not permitted so these all go to landfill. And when the manufacturers say ‘long lasting’ what they mean is that it won’t last. And if you overheat just once to fat smoking point, the PTFE is damaged and the pan is no longer nonstick and the guarantee void.
All recycling is a scam unless you do it on your own. They used to ship it to China & then after the war started in March 2020, China said no more.
Also, they send old computers to some 3rd world country (I can't remember the name) & the kids who are paid, get cancer from ripping them apart.
Learn the Truth about the lies the evils spread. They are destroying & killing us & our Mother Earth & then people believe them that it's us doing this when it's not. I don't do ANYTHING to destroy our world, do you? Stop believing in the lies & watching your fake news which brainwashes you.
There is no CC, it's a lie with a huge agenda which we are already seeing. Do you not know they are making it illegal to have anything gas in your home including your car?
I use to believe in global warming & was Green for decades until I woke up to the Truth about what is really going on.
Very good. I dug out my stainless steel pan and it's fantastic. You make it non-stick by curing it with oils or Crisco...easier than a cast iron pan.
Kudos to you for being a woman of substance and utilizing social media for intelligent, informative and very positive reasons. Applause.
Cris o oil causes cancer. All vegetable oils cause cancer. Use on avocado oil, coconut oil and or grass fed butter.
Better check out that Crisco, it's not good either.
@@imaplugger I agree and looked into that for seasoning a pan. Not to cook with = bad!!! The overall buildup is from olive oil, as what happens with a wok (I used a wok for years). I use olive oil for cooking. Some use grapeseed, avocado or peanut oil to season it.
To make a stainless steel pan non- stick, you just heat it briefly with nothing in it before adding any ingredients.
@@sleepinglioness5754the best oil for cooking is coconut oil, the organic unrefined (can buy at Costco for best deal or any grocery stores), or ghee

Let's also include, not good for animals. Our parakeets died because my son was cooking (with non-stick cookware we had, since got rid of the pans) and he forgot to turn off the fire and the windows were closed and the fumes killed them. He was house sitting for us and watching my daughter's birds while we were on vacation. We didn't know what killed them until I asked a parakeet expert and she asked if we had the non-stick pans. So sad.
I’ll never forget my husband called me at work and said the bird just died. He just had a seizure and died. Now back then I never asked him if he was cooking on a nonstick pan, but it was breakfast time and I think that’s probably what happened.

What enabled dupont to do what they did? What incentivized them? Our entire superstructure of political and economic systems. Dupont is merely a symptom. There are countless other companies that do similar or worse damage to us and the environment. Capitalism is the real enemy. We can play corporate whack-a-mole all we want, it will never solve the base problems. Capitalism is psychopathic, terminally sick, and inherently anti-life. Socialism now.
So many women who were working for Dupont making these Teflon pans. A whole lot of those women died (from Teflon),
What is DuPont exactly?
@@IntegrityMeansAll

@@angelikalaser7778t about carbon steel?
I only use cast iron and stainless steel. I don’t trust anything other than this type of cookware.
I found aluminum oxide in breads ingredient lists lately. Be careful out there.
The problem is. Companies do not disclose chemicals used in their cookware. So hell knows what they’re putting in them. Even when they label it free of PFOA/PFOS free of lead etc. we never know what they replace it with or what other toxic chemicals can be in there.
🎯🎯🎯
As there have been restrictions of PFAS recently NOW the companies have to apply for excemptions. NOW it comes out where PfAS are used (pizza carton linings, cosmetics !, likely also for baking paper. And dental floss - really ?. It is like detecting that they put sugar into any industrially processed foods, even sour / hot / savoury food. One expects PFAS in nonstick cookware, and knowledgeable people know they are in proofed tableware (tableclothes that have stain / water protection. Maybe also for the cushions of outdoor furniture).
If one uses spray to waterproof shoes and boots - that is also a major source to absorb PFAS. I saw a video about PFAS *. The journalist got her blood checked and she expected to have below average load. Nope: She was well above average. She then remembered that she was very active outdoors some years ago and used a lot of spray to water proof her boots.
* Faroer Islanders have problems too. They have the folclore tradition of slaughtering pilote whales when they show up (there is a season for that - and animal activists have protested against that unnecessary blood bath for the longest time). Turns out that massacre - not necessary these days for survival - got the folks from the islands into trouble. These remote islands off the coast of Scotland do not have so much input of any pollution by air - but as the PFAS concentrate in the food chain in the oceans and pilote whales eat fish, squid etc. .... - the chemicals are concentrated in them (and likely other toxins than PFAS as well).
There is a strong folclore tradition behind it - the people used to be poor, so back in the day the pilote whales where a godsend to have enough food and especially to have enough fat. (food and for burning it for light, maybe even for heating).
For the same reason one should abstain from eating Tuna (also a predatory fish).
Yes, & they do this on purpose to harm & kill us.
Do you know who even owns & controls these companies & the rest of the world?
Uh yes they do, have been doing so for ages. This is, at most, a regulatory issue with whatever country you're dealing with. It's not some secret, magic sauce, there isn't that much to hide here.

how did you manage to decline this nonstik cookware xmas gifts after all these years. (LOL in a good way) well done!
Some of the nasty side effects of modern day conveniences. Nonstick is popular because people don’t want to put any effort into scrubbing posts and pans. People feel it’s better to cook with nonstick pans and wash them in the dishwasher using toxic dishwashing detergent. One day scientists will overcome their Frankenstein creations, hopefully there will be more than a handful of humans left on earth to see it. t
I've been using non stick for years, and continued to use them once the coating is damaged :( I wish I knew how harmful these pans were. It seems like everything we touch these days is harmful, unless you do a lot of research about every single physical object. It's exhausting trying to keep up with what we should avoid these days, but I am very thankful for videos like this because the info is out there.

It shouldn't be hard to make so iI don't know why they just make it without or at least an option to have one model without.
So what air fryer is free of these things?
Thank you for reminding me why my family lived longer using cast iron pots and pans. I appreciate you

Hopeless situation! No wonder Cancers are now everywhere.
If it's everywhere, we can't fully eradicate it.
you can do the best you can for yourself
We can’t but we can do our best to avoid further exposure. I provide safer options and tips in every single piece of content I create to help people make informed decisions.
Doctors will tell you to quit smoking and then they'll turn around and give you a medicine that causes cancer that's been banned in europe, you have to research everything including medicines doctors give you prescriptions for because then you find out it's been banned in Europe and they cause cancer
You have to first educate yourself and second be willing to change , seek out non toxic materials

Thank you, this is such an important subject. I've been talking about this for years, haven't used teflon since the 90's. And back in the days people told me I'm just paranoid. Toxic free living is a lot of work but worth it.
Hello, I am a registered dietitian and diabetes educator. I have been making these arguments for a long time and am happy to find your channel and have subscribed. I have a question regarding aluminum cookware. I know that many years ago that data suggested links between it and Alzheimer's disease, but, I thought that had been shown not to be so on the basis that the aluminum found in autopsied brains was now thought to have accumulated as a result of plaque formation, rather that as a cause of plaque formation. Can you give me the sources for your information on this.
Also, I haven't watched the rest of your videos yet, but, I think it is very important to get people to stop microwaving anything in plastic containers. Have you done a report on this?
Also, is there anyone testing soil or offering soil test kits for plastics and PFAC's? I buy organic soil but it does come in plastic bags. My child developed ulcerative colitis and I am doing everything I can to make her diet as safe as possible.
Thanks for your work.
That is my understanding as well - that cookware is NOT the cause of aluminum accumulation in the brain.
Sorry but I find your data behind the times. They already found many strains of probiotics to help you detox plastics and if you have a gene that is slowed down, you dont detox these things correctly.
Be careful organic soil sold in bags can be from municipal waste!!! This country is only about money no protection for consumers.
@@buggsy5 Shows a lack of credibility of this channel tbh
Mrs got me a large stainless steel pan as a gift and its so much better to cook with than the fancy non stick rock coat blah blah scratched up pan i had before.
Do reccomend!
I'm a retired academic but worked in a lot of various office environments doing grad stuff; there was a current malaise that was linked to huge spikes in absenteeism and found to be due to toxins in the physical environment. (and we thought asbestos the only problem ....) I noticed when I lived in Denmark for a bit everything was open; the windows everything and up here in Canada, the air is discernably close and ... not great. This is fascinating will check out other videos. Tx! Moving to a cabin in the woods with my dog (lol but not a bad idea.)
If if if if your going to a third world country go there I stick to america no body at wall mart put a gun to your head to buy there product but just because the price is cheap does it mean it's cheap.?
I found a non toxic air fryer called Fritaire. It's glass and not as massive as the one mentioned in the video
Thanks for sharing! My favorite is the Our Place Wonder Oven. Be on the lookout for plastic parts that are exposed to heat in any appliance used for foods especially.
Thank you for mentioning the Fritaire. I found it on Amazon and it looks wonderful. It's a bit pricy, though, so I am comparing to the ones mentioned in this video.
@SayHelloToOblivion awesome! Yeah it's about the same price as the wonder oven. The other glass one she mentioned is affordable but I believe it's massive. The fritaire is the perfect size to leave on the counter if you wanted to.
Thanks for the info. I feel like one of the biggest issues is people think "If it's in the shop, it must be safe".
Thank you for this - could you do a video on water filtration sometime and what you suggest? It is very dejecting to know it is in our actual water...
Thank you Dr. Yvonne for your careful analysis! I plan to listen to this a number of times! An an RN I have always paid close attention to this issue.

Your instagram videos made me look for a new rice pot! I found one with a stainless steel inner pot, but it wasn't easy to find! I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it's been working pretty well. For those also looking for a rice cooker, I bought the Aroma Housewares Select Stainless Rice cooker ARC-753SGB (6 cups cooked)
this new, so called antiseptic steel dish isnt perfect for hot cooking. I have emaille.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing!!!
I have the same rice cooker, youcan cook soooooooo many things in it. I have two of this one!
I just bought this rice cooker (stainless steel) it's great.
My air fryer one day started smelling like burnt plastic! I lost a whole set of burgers! We aired out the house asap. I threw it out after that! Never again. I just got schooled on this channel! Thanks!
I am literally ready to head out to the store to pick up an air fryer... I saw a suggested video out of the blue (I wasn't even on this topic or air fryers of any kind) & see this scienctific lady's vid on nonstickchems on cookware & she warns about air fryers being the worst. Needless to say my plans changed, I won't buy one.
@@cinystarr4657 See the one in her link that interior is completely stainless steel.
Not all air fryers are created equally and not everyone has the option or the room to not use one either. Just my 2 cents
@@Chinese080808 That might be the case but I'd sure look into those similar sized convection ovens. Cuisinart has one that's all metal without the heated plastic & nonstick your food is surrounded in
@@cinystarr4657 I have a Phillips air fryer and it seems to be the better quality built ones. I use it daily for no more than 20 mins and no higher than 350° at a time. I also double layer the pan with parchment paper so my food doesn't touch the non-stick I also don't sense any burnt plastic fumes and it gets the job done for me. I will look into convection ovens though. Thanks!
Can you look into those new ceramics? I heard they're proprietary formulae. So we really don't know how safe.
Thank you! Thank you for helping my families health by sharing this ❤
Thanks for your support! Happy to help
Thanks for this. I just went to my cabinets and pulled out all of my cookware that I haven’t used in a long time and tossed them. Maybe subconsciously I knew something was wrong with them because they were all nonstick pans, microwave safe plastic, or old pitted aluminum! Love my cast iron
A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is amazing!
And they blame cigarettes so much all this time. Meanwhile poisoning people with just about everything else. People who never smoked got cancers and all kinds of other deseases.
But they like the weed lol. Cigs bad weed good? Nah. People were more normal when everyone smoked in the 70s
It is adding up. The levels of pfas in the environment en the food chain keep rising. It will never go away
I’ve been wondering for awhile whether there are any chemicals in parchment paper…. Thank you!!
I'm wondering about muffin papers.
Happy to help!
You can get some without chemicals but it’s triple the cost of “ regular” parchment
@@dryvonneburkart
What about wax paper? Does that have PFAS too?
@@carolginsberg662
Good question?

What is wrong with us? Stubborn rightness that is, always, proven wrong. Yet, like morons, we get up and destroy some more.
Reminds me of sanji (one piece) an anime character, he got stuck on an island with all the gold with a pirate yet had nothing to eat.. and both him and the pirate never wasted food after that and valued food over money..
To Yvonne. So what about if the cookware has plastic as its “house” forc example the glass air fryer you mentioned has a plastic outside of the heating element inside. Is it separated enough and does it not heat up the plastic and release chemicals in the air that way?
Please talk about the french made “Visions” glass cookware… they seem to be the safest since they are made of glass…thank you for all that you do to keep us informed😀🙏🏻✌🏻
Glass is non-leaching and Visions is what my mom used.
Pyrex is made of borosilicate and can be used in the oven, but make sure you get the one with PYREX in capital letters. The ones written in lower case letters are not oven safe.
I can’t get past the parchment paper. 😭
Same...so disappointed @@lalabeauty
What about wax paper
So it’s everywhere and in almost everything. Great
'They' are de-populating the world,its also in most foods and the air!! Watcha gonna do??Look to your maker!Bless
Yeah, I don't see the point of being aware of what's toxic for our bodies, now *everything* kills us, even water.
@@HanDaimond indeed, and do not forget the microplastics that are found everywhere, even at mount everest in the soil or the jungles, the air, water, everywhere. This world is utterly destroyed for money and profit, and humanity has been cursed from the very beginning. Compliments from your gov.ment and the "corporation". Congrats to them. Worst thing is that millions today are still defending them as if they have ever done a single thing good for humanity. What an utter disgrace to God's natural creation!
It's also super safe for humans unless you keep heating your teflon pans on a coal burner for long periods or some nonsense. There is very little to worry about with this.
Yeah, I'm having a hard time getting the point of this video. Sure, I could get rid of my nonstick cookware, but this toxicologist mentioned about everything we find everywhere all the time! Even in blessed polar bears!
What are we supposed to run away from?
Will you please tell me more about appliances? I got poisoned by the plastic basket and other plastic parts in my old coffee maker. Is my crock pot safe? Thank you for sharing your knowledge! You're an angel!
Thanks for watching! I switched from a crock pot to the Instant Pot
@@dryvonneburkart , I've been afraid of the instant pot because of the plastic in the lid and the sillicone gasket. Am I overthinking things?
Please answer The question about microwave convection is safe to heat food or backing
It isn't. it uses microwaves on unnatural frequencies (they amp up the frequency of the waves without decreasing the amplitude). Long term, it is also extremely bad as it is highly unnatural. ANYTHING unnatural (as in artificially produced or induced) is inherently bad for a natural being. It is THAT simple of a truth but no one seems to get it. Haven't used a microwave for almost ten years now. Ppl need to STOP ALL artificial produces in order to return to natural balance. It is the only way but as long as those same ppl keep lusting for money, profit and power over others, you and I and every other human being is EFFED! Worst thing? Those contributing to this madness are even cursing and damning their own kin! For money!! They really are that blinded by wealth and profit!
Great info, exactly what I wanted to know about PFAS and PFOS, but especially your mention of PTFE as i could not find much info on it after i bought a wok sized pan that had a PTFE labeling and not PFAS or PFOS.
I also wonder about these pans that have white-ish or copper color and not the usual plain black interior.
I also noticed that these teflon pans should not be heated with extreme heat but if you do, you will smell a peculiar odor -- toxin/toxic, not good.
Super valuable information and appreciate you posting about this! As a non-science person (like probably much of your audience), it would be much easier to follow with more words and diagrams on the screen
Thank You for this! I just shared this with many people. Our first clue should have been the warning not to use teflon cookware around birds...I am going to go through my kitchen.
Makes you think right? Thanks for watching 🙏🏽
According to the Wikipedia article on PTFE toxicity, it took about a 4 hour exposure for the fumes to kill their test parakeets. The temperature used was somewhere above 500 deg F, which is higher than the smoke point for almost all cooking oils.
I was made aware of tixicity in my youth by a foid additive specialist who came to a uni study party with her home made salad, when all otherems brought junk food. I was horrified. 25 years ago. Far worse now. Thanks for telling.
Suggestion: do a video on homes full of mold. Outright dangerous for a cancer patient.
Re food contamination, Are you saying how we store food is an issue because I think how we view seeds are another problem. Many seeds have mould from the start.
The health hazard of teflon was known for 30+ years. Initially, 30 some years ago, customers were well educated about the risks of Teflon. But for some unknown reasons, gradually after about 10 years, no one talks about it anymore. I have always wondered why and have been trying my best to spread the words but no one seems to care. I am glad you are taking about it and thank you.
I think the Teflon producers made some adjustments that supposedly made the non-stick chemicals non-toxic. Also, there was news about Teflon only being dangerous if heated to very high levels. That was the spin. I don't know if the later versions of Teflon are really any less toxic.
Copper cookware lined in food grade tin, or if you have the money, copper cookware lined in pure silver. I use both.
Thats why i use ceramic coated goods in kitchen. Being a bird owner i know too well how dangerous teflon etc is
What happened to your birds?
if you burn anything while using Teflon-coated cookware, it will kill any pet bird. Sadly this happened to my sister and she lost all three pet birds.@@PinkBroBlueRope
@PinkBroBlueRope . It's well known for the last 10 years that Teflon is very poisonous. I left a pan on and my birds suddenly looked very unwell, I saw smoke, realised what I'd done. I managed to save them all. Had to rush them all out into fresh air, and air the house out. My stupidity for suddenly falling asleep.
Thank you for sharing
Birds die from inhaling fumes formed when nonstick finishes get hot. Manufacturers will say that it only happens when the cook wear gets too hot. Birds disagree.
Thanks!! This is so valuable to me because I'm looking for cookware right now.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
mine are emaile, kind of glas.
Same! Looking at high-quality stainless steel and cast iron!
How about all the restaurants with their cooks and chefs using aluminum pots and pans for cooking??!!!
Given all the toxicity mentioned, you'd think all these toxic cookware would be outlawed but you see it in restaurants all the time!!!
No restaurant that I worked in during my younger years used aluminum pots/pans. Most were stainless steel and a few special purpose pans were copper.
The closest I have seen is stainless steel with an aluminum core.
Restaurant always have the best cookwares…bcos they need them to last long and take a lot of battering. Never seen teflon coated utensils.
your brave way of saying that some folks say pure nonesense, is great. Thank you for a great video.
It would be helpful if we can see a picture of the cookware you are referencing. You mentioned different types of material
I use 4 castiron fry pans ,a ci griddle pan ,and 2SS pots, gonna get a ci dutch oven next
I actually bought a set of Green Pan resently before I saw this video. So far, I'm very pleased with it. I do pre season it. The cleaning instructions are very clear about how to clean them. While the Pan or pot is still hot. I just wipe it out with a very soft paper towel. So far so good. I will eventually buy the first set that she was talking about these all ceramic. It's a little out of my budget right now. Thanks for the comment. If you have not seen Dark Waters, I strongly suggest you do. It will explain this entire mess with these forever chemicals..
According to a lawsuit, GreenPan's Thermolon coating contains several toxins, including silane and aluminum oxide.
We have been poisoned by design.
been poisoned for profit
@@djC653yes, both.

Thank you for all the information you are putting out there and my air fryer is going out as well as my bakeware. I’m so thankful 😅got all your hard work and dedication 💝
Excellent video I am going to move completely way from all non stick pans.
Ugh, I just bought another roll of parchment paper and silicon cooking cups. Sometimes I tell myself “I’m old,already body is contaminated and I have to die of something” makes me angry that companies make products with known or at least suspicious chemicals that poison us and the world we live in.
So the brown parchment paper is still bad?
those are fine and keep your food away from teflon and aluminum
I used glass baby bottles for this reason. I only used glass food storage now, but I need new cookware.

No offense to the video creator. It's just tiring running around behind the manufacturers trying to clean up their empty promises of economy and safety 😒
very curious what you think about staub cookware
Tefon is a poision and yet it is used in cookware. I use cast iron and sometimes stainless steel and glass. I also stay away from plastic to reheat food..
What about slow cookers, like CrockPot, with a clay liner?
For those who haven't seen the movie Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo, I highly recommend it. Its a super underrated movie. It's based on the true story of a farmer who sued the big corporation who invented this toxic chemical or "forever chemicals".
that's PFAS = forever chemicals
Le Creuset is enamel over cast iron, which I use for acidic foods. Great stuff. I know people with decades olds pans without a scratch or ding.
Have an enamel pan and a carbon steel pan.
Both are great. The carbon steel needs a bit more care when cooking, but not really a big difference to "non stick".
"Convenience" can be harmful in many ways...
@@martinfiedler4317 absolutely. The first time I saw a Teflon pan coating flake up, I stopped using them.
What about Staub ?
@@parinazaz4044 I would like to know more about Staub? I have never owned one. I mean, the Le Creuset lasts forever? I haven’t heard anyth8ng bad about them. I think perhaps they’re very good.
@@dianelipson5420 I have a big Staub Dutch oven in red.. it’s cast iron covered/coated with double-glazed enamel. I love it and was thinking to get the pan and a smaller pot as well.
Thanks so much for your educated reviews! Specially coming from a toxicologist! You are the best!
Good video though there is a small gap.
a) critical temperature to stay below
b) critical ph and how to raise that pH , hint it requires pH buffers which are sugar and salt.
c) the combination of pH and temperature.
d) if temperature is a key part then slow cookers with an appropriate surface would be another option.
What other pH buffers are there excluding sugar and salt? The food needs to be as close to pH 7 as possible especially for aluminium as it is 'amphoteric' ie it reacts with both acids and alkalis.
I am thinking boiling would be better ie soups without browning any ingredients possibly with greens or starchy food such as grains.
Eating from raw where it is safe to do so is a good option but also moving away from a disposable consumer culture and processed foods.
By the time you remove all those disposables, ready meals and unnecessary detergents etc a safer product becomes more affordable.
Wow, o just sent this to my wife and adult children
I bought a WOK from a Korean company called Surlagang Royal Chef and it is coated with Marble, then nano silver below. Also used cast iron and ceramic.
Use cast iron and stainless steel. It will outlive you.
Yes these work great
Hi!
I stumbled to your video by scrolling on RUclips.
I'm 60 y/o man.
After looking at your video, i know my body (organs and tissues) have who knows how much and types of chemicals from foods I've consumed.
I am a college graduate and also work in the health care industry.
I have no doubt that these chemicals have contributed to my early decline in health such as overweight, pains, inflammation, decreased in energy.
The question is, what to do to get rid of those chemicals embedded in tissue?
Thank you for watching. Practicing toxic avoidance by filtering water and air, cooking whole foods, and removing toxic ingredients in household products while simultaneously supporting liver & kidney detoxification is how we can protect our health. I share specific product swaps and tips in every video. 🙏🏽
You can also work with a functional or integrative doctor to help you find the root causes of your conditions.
@@dryvonneburkart thank you!!!
Thank you for well-cited data, and for being willing to put the info in a public forum.
I just bought the glass air fryer called Big Boss and the stainless steel rice cooker from Aroma. Wish I would have made the switch years ago!!!Been using stainless steel pots for years. Medical grade stainless.
Great work!
Thank you for providing yet another reason why air fryers are stupid! Loved this video.
Is air fryers bad?
@@etg9080 No. They cook more efficiently and evenly than other baking methods. I have one that is stainless steel and glass. It's fine. They are just ultra convection bakers. They have a strong fan that blows around a lot of air, that's all. The convection/movement of the air heats things up more quickly and evenly, as air (especially still air) is not a particularly good cooking medium because it is quite non conductive (still air is a great insulator, which is how goose down works so well, as it is great at trapping/stilling lots of air).
This is why boiling, steaming, and pan cooking will cook things faster than baking. A lot of the baking that happens with ovens, bakers, etc is actually through the radiant heat. This is the part of the energy transfer that acts like light and doesn't need any other medium (like water, air, metal, etc) to move through. Radiant heat is how the Sun warms the Earth, since that heat energy light is moving through space, which is a vacuum with no air, etc.
But moving the air around a lot, helps this fluid (the air) to impart more thermal energy to the colder, denser material (the food) also.
Pressure cookers though are the most energy efficient way to cook.
I find clay pots very cheap, tasty when cooked and very safe. Thx
Clay can have heavy metals like lead and cadmium in it. Look for the ones that are certified free of heavy metals.
You're not supposed to eat clay pots
@@Sooni98 well we don’t eat clay pots, we cook in clay pots, clay pots made out of mud. 🤭
@@Sooni98😂
We have an airfryer, but I never trusted it: even after years of use you still get that chemical smell when it is hot.
"But it's safe", the manual claims.
if you realize that those manuals are written by a corporation only set out to make "money", you SHOULD be aware that they are lying to you about ANY kind of health issues. They are ALL money-hungry, profit-lusting LIARS!

I was using a cast iron pan every day ( cooked breakfast and dinner in it) my iron levels went up so much it sent me to a hematologist.
You can get full enamel coated cast iron, but try to avoid scratching with metal utensils. Unfortunately, you don't know if it will leach lead. Newer enamel cookware should not have lead, but how do we know?
So stop cooking in cast iron if it is very high
You are cooking with me now. I found you two videos in a row.
wow I didn’t know that could happen
Were you cooking steaks all the time?
Well, that some nice bunch of BS. Even in cited paper it is stated, that... well, there is no certainty about toxicity:
"In short, it can be concluded that more comprehensive and systematic studies on the possible environmental and health risks of PTFE and related gases under high-temperature conditions must be performed. Both in vitro and in vivo assays should be considered. If data indicates that safety concerns exist about the use of PTFE coatings in cookware, national and international environment protection agencies should declare their clear stance on this subject. If such safety issues are there, a criterion should be developed to state that in which applications use of PTFE is safe. This all needs to be done on an urgent basis to access the potential health risks related to PTFE and associated chemicals".
Moreover, you are exposed for PFOA in much higher doses from other daily-used products. And let's not forget that much more dangerous substances are present when we fry food on pans with fat.
You mix papers about PFOA in general with statements about pans, what is just misleading.
But well, at least you advertised a company that produces its cookware in China - nice isn't it?
Thank you Dr Burkart. I am throwing out all of this crap from my kitchen today! Thankfully I already have cast iron and carbon steel, stainless steel pans, woks and more.
Glad to hear this!
@dryvonneburkart you're providing a vital service to the world. Thank you once again Dr Burhart. Please keep up the good work!
Learned how to make stainless steel nonstick and it was a game changer. Able to cook scramble eggs with no issue. Washing was a breeze with soft sponge
amazing information. I knew air fryer is not very safe.. but I could not tell what or why...
I switched over to cast iron ten years ago and it's the best choice I've made with cookware. If you take good care of them, you can past them down to your kids, then their kids to their kids, etc. Sure, there might be some iron that leaches out with high acidity foods, but it can be good for people with iron deficiencies. I've cooked frozen potstickers/gyoza on these things, it's that good, especially when well seasoned.
Cast iron is a better cookware option! 😎
I read that one also can season stainless steel pans - I understood it takes more patience as cat iron has more pores so the very thin "burnt-in" oil / lard layer has it easier to build up. I will check that out. Thanks Dr. Yvonne Burkart, I will get rid of my Teflon pans.
I saw a video about PFAS, the journalist assumed that she would be below average PFAS load, and had it checked. Turns out she is above average. She then remembered that she used to spray her boots a lot a few years ago when she was very active outdoors. The water repellent stuff. The bottles have the warnings on them: only to use them outdoors, only to use them if it is not windy. A good mask would be in order (one like painters have them).
@@dryvonneburkart At the Faroer islands (remote islands off the coast of Scotland) they have high PFAS loads. These islands have much less pollution. But in the past they had the tradition of slaughtering pilot whales (those eat fish and squid). Back in the day that was necessary for survival on these isolated, poor islands. They continued doing it when the gruesome hunt was not necessary anymore and ignored the protests of animal activists, 'cause tradition / folclore. Well, that did not end well for them. Unfortunately the children there have unusually high levels.
I guess another reason might be the use of spray to waterproof jackets and boots - fishery is one of the few professions there. And wool / sheep plus a bit or tourism.
You usually season cast iron with oil and fat, and burn the "coating" to high temperature over and over again, why is it better/healthier than a type of plastic that is highly resistant to strong acid?
Thank you for the video! My family is trying to avoid any Teflon already for the last 10 years as we knew about its harm to health.. still this material is used in production of different items..
Thank you for watching! 👏👏👏
My face listening to this while making eggs in my favorite non stick pan
I’ve always wondered about the bottom of scrambled eggs turning a slight grey if you leave them in a non-stick pan after fully cooked. I have always wondered is this the pan leeching or why do the bottom of the eggs turn a bit grey.
I use the Instant Pot Duo Crisp Air Fryer that incorporates both air fryer and instant pot. It is PFAS -free. The cons are that your food might stick, and it's a smaller basket than dedicated air fryers, but for 1-2 people or occasional air frying I would highly recommend. After 2 years, I still use mine often, both the air fryer and instant pot, and having multiple uses in one appliance saves counter space.
However, the inner fryer basket does have a ceramic coating which, as the video explains, could still be problematic if it gets scratched.
