First, I think ALL m...Interesting questions, Tanya! First, I think ALL materials used for cookware are going to leach something, so it's really a matter of what you're most comfortable with. That said, Teflon MAY raise the risk of allergies ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-463378/Are-allergic-Teflon.html ). However, I don't think we can call this scientific fact - at least not yet. Still, if you have a history of allergies or asthma, it makes sense to at least limit your exposure to Teflon. <br /><br />Aluminum previously had a bad rap as unhealthy, but even if aluminum was scientifically linked to Alzheimer's (which it's not), an individual who uses aluminum cookware every day would get about 3.5 milligrams of aluminum daily. But just one antacid has about 50 milligrams of aluminum and a buffered aspirin has about 10 to 20 milligrams of aluminum.

Do you have any opinions on this? I've read that non-stick coatings can be extremely dangerous, especially for those with allergies; that certain materials leech nickel and aluminum when heated. These can be rather toxic chemicals, especially for those already prone to health problems. Any thoughts?Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284165488156415840noreply@blogger.com
