Your fruits and vegetables: “There’s no way one can know where the fruits and vegetables one eat, grow, plus, insecticides, pesticides and chemical fertilisers are used excessively to prevent rotting or to improve the yield but chemical pesticides like DDT and nitrate and phosphate fertilisers, which are commonly used, have been linked to increase incidence of cancer, it is believed that going organic can reduce the incidence of cancer”.
Your cookware: “Non-stick pans and utensils have become very common nowadays but, non-stick pans have a coating of Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene (PTFE) that emits toxic fumes when heated to high temperatures and according to research when this eroded coating is ingested, it isn’t expelled quickly from the body, the coating is supposedly cancerous and the fumes are dangerous for pregnant women and people with suppressed immunity”.
