Under EPA pressure, the companies agreed to phase out the chemicals beginning in 2000. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74072774 In February, DuPont and its spin-off Chemours agreed to pay $671 million to settle more than 3,500 lawsuits involving the leaks of PFOA from its plant in Parkersburg, West Virginia, into community water supplies. ^ THIS ^ They've killed us all. I've been ghosted and banned every time I tried posting about it. Nat Geo did a documentary on us last month. Lawyers in the suit won't even call you back. My wife has three of the illnesses, has had surgeries, etc, etc. I have two, maybe more. What are they doing with the money? They sure as heck don't want any clients. We are the walking dead. It's not just one town, water for a 50 mile radius is full of the crap. Same problems in Delaware. Google up 'see eight', except use the letter C and the number 8, together, like seeeight.

Le Creuset, Chantal, and Silit. enamel is made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 1380 and 1560 °F. le Creuset will last your grandkids lifetime... worth it. 5 quart dutch oven is about $350. worth it, look for outlets and the price is lower. |

Quoting: CitizenPerth Roy J. Plunkett (June 26, 1910 May 12, 1994) was an American chemist. He discovered polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), i.e. Teflon, in 1938. He was the chief chemist involved in the production of tetraethyllead, a gasoline additive, at DuPont's Chambers Works from 1939 to 1952. After that he directed Freon production at DuPont before retiring in 1975. Plunkett received the John Scott Medal from the city of Philadelphia in 1951, for an invention promoting the "comfort, welfare, and happiness of human kind". Attendees were given a Teflon-coated muffin tin to take home. Other awards and honors followed. Plunkett was inducted to the Plastics Hall of Fame in 1973 and the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1985. Plunkett died of cancer on May 12, 1994 at his Texas home at the age of 83. |

An interesting note to the cookware, there's also a thing called t e f l o n flu, it happens when you overheat your frying pan. I've read it will kill birds if you have any as pets, and of course will make you sick as hell. |

These cities have already been cited 10 years ago for failing to upgrade city water systems. With mass depopulation of the citizens they have lost further funding. With tearing down houses due to vacancy and drugs they have increased the lead in the soil and ground water. This is an epidemic and it is wide spread. Tell these citizens to stand up or take off. |

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.....

I have a single non-stick pan that we got as a gift. We've had it almost 6 years now and the coating is immaculate because I only use it for low-temp things like sauteing spinach or eggs. If you keep the surface temp down (NO BROWNING MEATS) non-stick CAN be safe. I use cast iron almost all the time. You just don't have to think about it. I'm not sure how I believe the iron issue because if there's bare iron facing your food, you've got a rusty pan. It should be seasoned....and you don't have to be all crazy about it either. All-Clad is my new favorite stainless cookware. Made in the USA and the heat distribution is noticeably better, even on a cheap electric stove. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75059257 United States 06/10/2017 03:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | To make the so-called ceramic coatings, a metal pot is dipped into or sprayed with a plastic (chemically based polymer) solution. As these synthetic, plastic-like coatings are softer than metal, the surface degrades with normal use. The life expectancy of a nonstick ceramic-coated pot is about one year. Once the synthetic coating wears thin, pits or scratches, toxic metals from the underlying metal can leach into foodstuffs. And the coating itself may contain toxic metals like arsenic. Do NOT use non-stick ceramic cookware; its potentially toxic. However, superior 100% ceramic cookware is non reactive; it is not advertised as non-stick because foods will stick unless you add oil or water. 100% ceramic withstands erosion and temperatures exceeding 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. source - [link to www.rebeccawood.com] |
