Green Essentials Cook in low tox pans

Choose stainless-steel or cast-iron pans coated in enamel, glass, or terra-cotta. Avoid nonstick pans because once scratched, the coating can leach into food. One of the chemicals used in the manufacturing of these pans, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), has been detected in the bodies of 92 percent of Americans tested. This accumulates in brain tissue and can damage immunity.
