 It's also useful to know the foods that most quickly react to plastic storage containers and to aluminum and cast-iron cookware. A vitreous enamel cooking surface is completely hygienic and impervious to acids and other chemicals. Not only does it provide superior cooking functions, it is perfect for foods that require marinating or for storage (raw or cooked) in the refrigerator or freezer. Here are a few recommendations:
¦ Don't cook with aluminum pots and pans or aluminum foil.
¦ Surgical steel is an excellent option for skillets and frying pans. Look for Flavorite cookware (www.regalware. |

 We've gotten great results using "egg fry rings," which are sold by Williams-Sonoma and other cookware stores. The rings come with a wooden handle, making them easy to use. splash of white or apple-cider vinegar, optional 2 large eggs
Pour about xh to 1 inch of water into a medium-size fry pan. If you wish, add a splash of vinegar, which will help the eggs hold their shape. Place two egg rings or cookie cutters in the pan. Bring the water to a simmer. Crack the eggs and pour them into the rings. Let the whites set firmly, about 5 minutes. |
| You'll need a collapsible vegetable steamer basket, which should cost no more than $5 at supermarkets or cookware stores.
To use the steamer basket (which opens somewhat like a fan), insert it into a 2-quart saucepan; add about an inch of water, so that it barely touches the bottom of the steamer basket; and then add the vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and other firm vegetables take about seven to ten minutes to cook, while softer vegetables, such as green beans and snow peas, cook in about five to six minutes. |

¦ Use Le Creuset cookware. Le Creuset pans are handcrafted in France of cast iron, which absorbs heat slowly and provides even heat transfer. The cast iron is coated with porcelain enamel, is lead-free, requires no seasoning, and cleans easily. It is available at www.williamsonoma.com.
« Store food in pottery or glass, which is lead-free. (But avoid Mason Jars, as they are not.) See www.glashaus.com.
¦ Store meat in paper not plastic or aluminum foil.
¦ Refrigerate perishable foods promptly.
¦ Wash your hands thoroughly and often. |

 The lawsuit wants DuPont to spend $5 billion to replace all the nonstick cookware, impose a Teflon warning label, and create two funds to pay for medical monitoring and more scientific research on the people who were using Teflon pots and pans to determine just how the use of Teflon cookware has related to and caused illness, sickness, disease, and depression. DuPont has known for over twenty years that the Teflon product, and the various chemicals it uses in the manufacturing of its products, cause cancer! Everyone knows that it causes cancer. |

 In addition to cookware, it is also found in foil and utensils, antiperspirants, paints, cosmetics, and baking powders, as well as over-the-counter painkillers, antiinflammatory drugs, antacids, and douche preparations.
CAUGHT OFF GUARD
Last year, we saw an unprecedented number of recalls happen in the toy market. As I write this, Mattel, the world's largest toy company, is trying to scrub its tarnished image clean after several high-profile recalls on toys manufactured in China that may contain poisonous levels of lead in their paint. |

 Heavy metals are in the water we drink, the foods we eat, the air we breathe, our daily household cleaners, our cookware and our other daily tools. A heavy metal has a density at least 5 times that of water and cannot be metabolized by the body, therefore accumulating in the body. Heavy metal toxicity can cause our mental functions, energy, nervous system, kidneys, lungs and other organ functions to decline. |

 Avoid plastic cookware and servingware, too.
Limit alcoholic intake as it can cause swelling of blood vessels in the nasal passages.
Don't smoke and stay out of smoke-filled rooms.
Fireplaces, wood stoves and cigarettes are fuel for asthma.
Ensure your heating and cooling systems, and exhaust fans in your home and car, work efficiently. Rid your garden of pests with herbs, not insecticides. Sit at least two metres away from the television. |

| Perfluorooctanoic acid, a key ingredient in the making of Teflon non-stick coating for cookware can cause testicular, breast, liver and prostate cancers, as well as birth defects. And in 2004 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has found perchlorate contamination in nearly all of the more than 200 samples of lettuce and milk it collected and tested nationwide. |
Bottom Line Health

| Seek out lightweight products, especially cookware, cooking utensils and cleaning tools.
•Buy products, such as shoulder bags, that are shaped so that they can be carried close to the body, reducing pressure on arms, hands and back.
•Choose products that have texture.
Example: Drinking glasses that have bumpy exterior surfaces.
•Simplicity counts. Products that have intricate pieces are harder to use, clean and store.

 He says to avoid or eliminate any sources of aluminum exposure: aluminum cookware, utensils, or foil; underarm deodorants; drinking water and any juices or drinks packaged in aluminum-lined cartons. Cut out those vitamins as well as bottled water packaged in bottles with aluminum across the top.
Dr. Hodes suggests a brain and body detoxification program, which should include a supervised fast. "Now don't attempt to detoxify on your own," he warns. |

 Use nonstick cookware and use nonstick cooking sprays instead of butter, margarine, or oil to prepare foods with less or no fat. þSkip gravy and rich sauces and enhance the flavor of foods by cooking with broth, stock, lemon juice, onions, and seasonings like garlic, ginger, cumin, spice blends, and herbs. þTrim away any fat on meat and go skinless with poultry before cooking.
Reduce portion sizes
For more information on portion control, see chapter 5.
Snacks
Snacking is a very good habit as long as you keep the portion size small and calorie count low. |

 Recommendations include a healthy, well-balanced diet and lifestyle; avoidance of products that contain mercury and aluminum (which include antiperspirants, antacids, baking powder, and aluminum cookware); and increasing antioxidant levels in the body. Nutritional supplementation with high-potency vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and particularly magnesium and potassium products are beneficial. |

 This means you must check all food labels as well as other sources of exposure such as antiperspirants, medications, aluminum cans and containers, aluminum cookware and utensils, tap water containing aluminum, and aluminum-containing plant sources such as tea, condiments, and herbs. The safest containers are made of glass. (Plastic containers are not particularly safe as they can release PVCs, cadmium, and estrogenic substances.)
Never drink tea with lemon. Remember, citrate from fruits greatly increases aluminum absorption. |
| This means aluminum cookware, aluminum cans and containers, aluminum in medications (both prescription and nonprescription), baked goods, and all other food sources. I am frequently asked about deodorants containing aluminum. I have no information on the absorption of aluminum through the skin, but it is certainly possible. If it can be avoided, it should be, until reliable data are available.
As you can see, to avoid toxic metals and other substances takes eternal diligence and tireless reading of labels. |
| For this reason, any fluoride-containing product in an aluminum container, including fluoridated toothpaste in aluminum tubes, aluminum cans, aluminum cookware, and aluminum-containing foods mixed with fluoridated water, can potentially form the harmful aluminum fluoride compound AIF3.
Entry of aluminum into the brain past the blood-brain barrier often involves special carrier molecules or combinations thereof. For example, albumin can carry aluminum into the brain, especially when magnesium deficiency is present. |

| The bottom line: if you want to be healthy, throw away all nonstick cookware. Remember, science is not better than nature.
ANTIBIOTICS
I want to start with the bottom line—never, ever, ever take antibiotics unless you are about to die. That's right. Unless you have days to live, never take antibiotics. Antibiotics should virtually never be taken. Why? Well, consider this—when a doctor prescribed antibiotics did he ever perform a test to determine if you had a bacterial infection? |

 Do not use nonstick cookware.
When nonstick cookware is heated to a high temperature it emits toxic fumes that can kill a small animal such as a bird! These toxic fumes, when inhaled by humans, lead to respiratory disease, weakening of the immune system, cancer, depression, asthma, headaches, and a multitude of other health problems.
17. Eat only organic, kosher meat and poultry.
This subject is incredibly complex. Oprah Winfrey had a show devoted to the meat industry, and was sued for expressing her opinions. She won. Any meat or poultry that is not organic and kosher is incredibly toxic. |

 Hans Hertel, found that microwave cooking alters a food's nutrients enough so that it can cause health-damaging changes in a person's blood, including:
>• Increased cholesterol levels
>• Increased levels of leukocytes (white blood cells), which suggests poisoning
> Decreased numbers of red blood cells
>• Production of radiolytic compounds (compounds unknown in nature)
>• Decreased hemoglobin levels, which could indicate anemic tendencies or porcelain-based containers and cookware, you can ensure that you will not get a mouthful of health-damaging chemicals along with your food. |

| They even come from things as simple as nonstick cookware. Did you know that if you took a nonstick pan, put it on your stove and turned the heat up, a bird, if it happened to be a few feet from the pan, would die from the toxic fumes that were emanating from the pan? If you have nonstick cookware, for example, over the years you have been breathing in all of those poison toxins. The bottom line is you have loaded your body with toxins in massive amounts and these toxins do not leave the body fully. |

 The food will absorb some of the mineral from the cookware. This strategy is especially helpful for vegetarians, who have difficulty meeting iron requirements.
If you have a digestive disorder that prevents you from absorbing food properly, juice the vegetables that are suggested here and drink several glasses daily. Juices don't require much digestive work from the stomach and the intestines, and their nutrients are easily passed into the bloodstream. |

 Enamel cookware is generally safe, except that low-cost Asian imports reportedly may contain high levels of lead; this is also a problem with ceramic pots. Glass cookware is the safest.
Here are some important cooking rules:
• Avoid baking soda in cooking or baking as it destroys B-vitamins.
• Add salt or minerals after cooking to preserve vitamins.
• Save and use the cooking water; it is rich in minerals.
• Cook for the shortest time possible.
• Do not keep food warm for extended periods; cool quickly for storage. |

 In the home, we are in constant contact with aluminum in foods and in water; from cookware and soft dnnk cans; from consuming items with high levels of aluminum (e.g., antacids, buffered aspirin, or treated drinking water; or even by using nasal sprays, toothpaste, and antiperspirants). |

| It is especially important when cooking tomatoes not to use aluminum cookware, since the high acid content of tomatoes will interact with the metal. This may result in the migration of the aluminum into the tomatoes, which will not only impart an unpleasant taste but, more important, may have deleterious effects on your health.
QUICK SERVING IDEAS
• Tomatoes are a nutritious addition to salads and soups. To make things colorful, use yellow, green, and purple tomatoes in addition to the red varieties. |

 Avoid non-clad aluminum and use only aluminum coated with stainless steel such as All-Clad cookware, stainless steel pans such as Revere Ware, or cast iron skillets. If you have nonstick pots or pans, be sure to use high-temp rated plastic utensils so you don't scrape the non-stick coating (such as Teflon). Once the cookware has been scratched, it will begin to peel and bits of it end up in the food cooked on that surface. Avoiding Teflon pans is really best.
• Pressure cookers allow you to cook nutritious whole foods (such as cooking beans) quickly and efficiently. |

 I'm talking about medicinal herbs, reishi mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, outstanding nutrition and avoidance of certain food ingredients and environmental toxins such as plastic cookware -- measures like that. It's not overly difficult to reverse this disease or even prevent it from happening in the first place, but what modern medicine wants to do is take away your organs.
When they're not removing your organs, they're irradiating them: "Let's smash your breasts between this machine like a pancake and irradiate them to see if we can find some tumors in there. |
