Today, the consumption of organic and healthy food is growing exponentially. This is synonymous with more and more people being concerned about healthy food. But when you cook food in ceramic or Teflon pans, it is no longer healthy since it turns into plastic.
These kitchen utensils react at high temperatures giving off toxic gases, remains of polytetrafluoroethylene or heavy metals such as aluminium. Some of these toxins are endocrine disruptors. This means that mimic the behavior of hormones producing, even in tiny concentrations (parts per billion), severe mutations at cellular level in both sexes.
Now it is the time you go one step forward
This month, in our third challenge, we suggest you to start cooking healthier, getting rid of all plastic used when cooking.
Remember that you do not only use plastic when cooking with ceramic or Teflon pans but also when using kitchen tools because they are usually made of plastic. We can easily remove them from our kitchen at low cost.
