Cookware, packing toxins polluting drinking water in 27 US states – report
Yikes...that's a little disturbing:

[link to www.rt.com (secure)]


From California to Flint, Michigan and New Jersey, harmful toxic chemicals linked to cancer can be found in water supplies of multiple US states and in the tap water of 15 million people, according to a new study.
The perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) in question come from everyday products including cookware, outdoor clothing, food packaging and firefighting foam, and were detected in record high levels in the water supply in 27 states.

"It's a much larger number than we thought before," said Bill Walker, managing editor of Environmental Working Group who joined with Northeastern University in Boston to conduct the research.

The team's findings came from analysis of federal drinking water data and publicly documented legal cases of toxin pollution and documented in an interactive map.....

"The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. ... Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls... Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to counter forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are. I am here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization." ~President Donald J Trump

"...sometimes, you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive. Sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto." ~Vera Donovan

"Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man-and give some back." ~Al Swearengen

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." ~Mattis

those shitty non-stick pans are a plague
once you overheat them the coating starts to come off.
Sooner or later everyone accidentally does it.
Tardcases by the billions, clueless, ruin them left and right, then they just toss them out, and go to Walmart FOR SOME NEW MADE IN CHINA toxified, fall-apart garbage, all brought to you by your friendly neighbourhood dept. store mass murderers, in conjunction with negligent health standards, and your local reckless politicians working for the murder maniac oligarchs to bring you cheap imports so they don't have to pay you living wages.
OH and ahh, this all made possible by your friendly neighbourhood psychopathic, suicidal nuclear blackmail artists, who intentionally don't get along and play nice together, so we are force fed their neuro toxins as a condition that they not incinerate the planet outright.

Toxic shit like this is also known to be absorbed, rather than just having ingestion as a requisite to kill.
Not to mention Water evaporates, the contaminates remain as residue, then turn to dust and become airborne, so your screwed and we're all going to die from this that and the other thing.

For water, all that is required to remove 'said chemicals' is activated carbon.

Of course, you could step up your game....

and get reverse osmosis.

As for the cook ware, super easy to cook in a SS pan.

The trick is to allow the pan to slowly warm (closes the pores, and prevents warping).

never cook on high (conductivity is higher than in a coated pan)

and keep the inside smooth with some 800-1000 grit sand paper
