As you read down further, it talks about how they did different tests on different pots and pans in regards to Stainless Steel. Even Stainless Steel can be bad for you according to the web site. It depends on the RATIO of Steel to Non-Steel, along with WHO makes the Steel. It says that China & India have the WORST type of metal/material, even ceramic can have lead in it, due to a lower safety/health standards. It depends on where companies get their metal from, it can have radioactive metal that has been mixed into other metal. Therefore all the REST of the material becomes CONTAINMINATED. It may not be a high amount, but that low level over time can be really bad o ver time.

So in terms of finding out what Pots & Pans are really bad or safe, it is confusing. Even products that say “Made in the USA”, can contain Metal that is made ELSEWHERE. As far as the USA Government & FDA approves or not approves certain products. It’s just like with Teflon, it is becoming more and more well known that Teflon is bad for you. Though the FDA has yet to recall Teflon products.

I was looking into Stainless Steel made in Germany, Canada, USA, and other countries. I have found that Stainless Steel is coated with non-stick coating made from Dupont. Who also makes Teflon products. What exactly is this Non-Stick Surface on STAINLESS STEEL???

As far as Cast Iron, there is the same situation of where do the materials come from? Not all Metal in USA and other countries are completely safe. Someone could have mixed in contaminates in the ground, which can then get into products made into cookware like pots & pants.

So bottom line is….how safe are we when it comes to metals exactly? It’s hard to be safe, when you don’t even know just how safe the metals that make up our cookware! Where do we draw the line about what is safe?

I just thought I’d put in my two cents.

There seems to be some sensible comments on here, an some incredibly naive comments (i.e who do you believe the government lab? or the TV show lab?…where to start on that one).

It has been shown and proven time and time again that the government food regulators across the world have willingly covered up harmful and damaging truths, not serving the people but big business.

If that is not clear to anyone I suggest you get some serious research time under your belt before you address any issues regarding your health and the government/mega companies advice.

We are all looking for a healthy solution in a world stacked with unhealthy toxic options and unfortunately a myriad of misinformation to muddy the waters just that little more. If all else fails, looking to the past can present with a healthy choice (cast-iron….shame about the tomato issue).

Was that Bing translating this post? Doesn’t anyone proofread what they wrote?

The next most popular google results are the news that this news show is getting their balls sued off them for this libelous claim. Since anyone can buy, chip off and test a frypan to see who is correct, that tells you who will win that lawsuit.

I also don’t understand why anyone is talking about specially coloured coatings requiring lead etc. I’ve shopped the whole range of Neoflam cookware. All the cooking surfaces are black. The coloured part is is bottom of the frypan. If the underside of your frypan is contaminating your food, you’re not competent enough to cook safely anyway. Your greatest danger if probably self immolation from your stove if you can’t keep your food in a frypan.
