 User ID: 73018801 United States06/10/2017 04:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yikes...that's a little disturbing: Quoting: a Dude, not THE Dude [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..... (I posted the first couple of paragraphs. Click the link for more.) Thankfully we live in an old mining town in MT...the arsenic from the mines is weighing down all those toxic chemicals...so we are just fine.  "...Where's my fur, dude?"

User ID: 13299994 United States06/10/2017 05:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for the info! There is no telling how many people have gotten cancer due to their cookware - or to other people's cookware as your link points out! I use glass cookware. The danger with it is that it can explode under high pressure particularly as it gets old as the glass weakens. That's why you can't find it in stores anymore. So when the lids are on, I use as low a flame as possible and wear a suit of armor. ;-) Last Edited by Booger Cancer on 06/11/2017 09:38 PM Yes, I did cure my Stage 4 cancer in two weeks when I was 48. I also reversed my chronic kidney disease (glomerulonephritis) when I was 25. In neither case were any medical treatments involved. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75057279  How is that you moron Aussie? We have agencies to discover these things and deal with the problem. That's the point of these studies and measurements. Meanwhile your shithole of a country doesn't do anything. If you bothered to look into it more, a lot of the agencies have started working on dealing with the issue. Meanwhile, the US continues to still have the top best drinking water sources in the world. While the rest of the vast majority of the world has extremely polluted water that's not even measured and the people drinking it doesn't even know or think it's bad. That's what separates a 1st world country from a 3rd would shit hole. |

User ID: 73435446 United States06/10/2017 07:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What's the best type of cookware to use if you want it to be at least somewhat non-stick? Or is that a No Go? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75053418 What should we be buying then, instead? Recommendations? Stainless can be non stick if you use it correctly. Browns up much nicer to Stainless steel is always non stick if you know how to follow the proper procedure. Heat the pan then add oil and heat the oil...then begin cooking. Pretty simple. "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.

It's not safe to cook, bathe, wash clothes, etc. with this water if there is contamination from this chemical. People said, oh it's all downstream, it won't affect us. Then it was found, upstream. It's found tens of miles away from the rivers it's dumped in, east, west, north, south. I just have to wonder, is it in the air too? Is it released as contaminated water evaporates? Is it in the rain? Think of all those products in landfills now. Your cheeseburger didn't stick to it's wrapper, but you also ate the chemicals that made that possible. |

User ID: 13299994 United States06/11/2017 09:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So many have missed the point. It's not only about the cookware you choose.

Is it in the rain? Think of all those products in landfills now. Your cheeseburger didn't stick to it's wrapper, but you also ate the chemicals that made that possible. There is no safe water anymore. I put spring water in a glass jug. The jug has shungite stones in it. Shungite molecules are in the shape of Buckeyballs and have healing properties. My hope is that the shungite structure captures the petrochemicals in the water. Does it do that? I've heard it does. IDK for sure. The jug is also placed on top of a card that emits 1,700 negative ions per cubic centimeter. This changes the water into a hexagonal molecule which is the optimal structure for water. Shungite might also do the same thing. In any case the water feels smoother or slicker. That is to say the water feels less resistant going down when drinking it. Without these things, I have a hard time downing six ounces of water. But with them, I can drink 8-10 ounces easily.

(not that it matters much since it's everywhere, but you can at least reduce how much you intake.) |
