Today, we’re going to talk about nonstick cookware, specifically Teflon. There are many different toxins in Teflon.

There are six different toxic gases that are emitted when you use Teflon. Two of the gases are global pollutants, and one can potentially be lethal in low doses.

Using nonstick cookware like Teflon can potentially lead to:
• Liver damage
• Immune dysfunction
• Thyroid dysfunction
• Chronic kidney dysfunction
• Infertility

Potentially dangerous chemicals can get into our environment, our food supply, and our bodies. It’s almost impossible to avoid our toxic environment. It’s important to constantly do things to clean your body of poisons.

Your body actually has the ability to take these dangerous chemicals and turn them into harmless particles through the liver. This is called biotransformation.

Certain foods can help break down poisons and even plastics that are in your body. You may want to consume cruciferous vegetables on a regular basis. Cruciferous vegetables can potentially help decrease poisons in your body.

My father, God rest his soul, never allowed us to have teflon pans ... He was a physicist and knew about the toxicity when they 1st came out with Teflon

I first encountered Teflon in the U.S. Air Force (1963). The hoses on the jet engines were lined with Teflon. This was new. They told us that if there ever was an engine fire in the hangar to run because the Teflon fumes were poisonous. When I came out of the Air Force, I was surprised to hear that they were selling frying pans lined with Teflon to the general public.

My neighbor cooked on a new nonstick teflon pan and the fumes from the hot pan killed her two beloved cockatiels that were in their cage in a different room of the house!! She threw her pan out. The pans emit toxic poisons to breath and they get into the food. I am so glad this video is warning people how dangerous they are.

Dr berg is like a total hero to humanity

Maybe you could do a quick video on what pots, pans and utensils are safe to use during cooking. Thanks a million.

Using stainless steel since I read about teflon years ago, its amazing how people use this even with all the information about the cons, another tool I found bad in our kitchen is the cutting PLASTIC board that is used with knifes everytime but we not only cut our vegetables or beef, we also make tiny cuts of plastic that we can't see so we make our food with plastic everytime.

I did know non-stick teflon was not that safe, but didn't know how. Thanks for sharing and illuminating, Dr. Berg! 🙂❤️👍🏼 If / Whenever possible, please also do a detailed video comparing the various types of cookware - copper, tin, steel, aluminium, anodised aluminium, carbon steel, cast iron, even ceramic and terracotta (earthen) and rate them all on a scale as to what is best for boiling, sautéing, deep frying, grilling, etc. Thank you in advance! 🙂👍🏼

You could literally put this man in charge of the WHO, CDC, EFA, and still would do a better job then all of them put together. Thankyou for all that you do for the people, Dr Berg.

I only use stainless steel, glass & cast iron to cook in anymore.

It may seem obvious not to use nonstick cookware, but for all of the viewers, it could be interesting and helpful to go over all of the types of cookware and dining ware -- what is safest and what to avoid -- e.g., melamine, plastic cups/bottles, aluminum, stainless steel, ceramic, stoneware, glass. Thank you for all of your consistently great content!

I thought this was old news. I gave up Teflon in the 1970's. I bought a Omega juicer in 1984 and started juicing broccoli regularly. About 20 years ago i bought a Vita-Mix and make myself a 40-50 oz. broccoli shake every day (broccoli, carrot, power greens, tomato, beets, walnuts, chia seeds, apple, celery).

[shwetasarangi]

Dr.Berg deserves a Nobel prize for all his efforts to educate people!

[ranger]

That's why I have shifted over to High Carbon Steel pans! Properly seasoned and cared for, they are as nonstick as Teflon. Good stuff Dr. Berg!

YEESSSS..finally about cookware
We want also about defferent types of cookware...My Lord, grant him mercy from thee

[MMD.]

I have a non stick teflon and I just realized how dangerous it is just this week

In fact I literally just bought a ceramic coated frying pan just before this video

Now imma make sure to ditch the non stick Teflon pan

Thanks 👍 Dr.berg

[anam.aria.]

The biggest broccoli advocate is definitely Dr. Berg. I love the information you provide, all you want to do is enlighten us! Thank you!

[davdev]

Your videos should be available in every single country translated to every language. Like if you agree

[rorita]

Thank you Dr berg, when I first learned that our body needs all this green leafy greens in the diet I didn't expect that it will make such a change in my life, but since I started doing what you adviced and having a green shake everyday and following your diet advice i feel like a new person and I'm so happy that I found your videos, I couldn't imagine simple changes like that could change my life! Your words are priceless thank you so much ❣️

There is a movie on this topic from last year - it is called "Dark Waters" I recommend watching this.
