Questions about Teflon
Science
So the question is, how do we now look for cookware? And so for me personally, I look for stainless steel or ceramic. Those are the two things that I go to. I like ceramic for like actually like frying pans because it's less sticky than the stainless steel, but then I use stainless steel or glass for everything else. Any other questions? So some of the questions the other class had, they asked about restaurants. What do restaurants cook on? And one of the things that I've seen, and I've only worked at a couple restaurants, I work at bob Evans and Applebee's, and a couple smaller ones. But they all have these massive cook tops that are stainless steel, and that's what they cook on. So I haven't seen Teflon myself in a restaurant and I would assume that's probably a conscious decision that they made. To not be using that. And your research is there anything that else that we, I mean, I know it's in several different things. You just said fans and things like that. But is there anything that it's in that we don't even know that we use numerous times a day, not just here and there? Right. That they should be aware of. Well, but you know. Well, here's the thing, DuPont makes your toothbrush bristles. That's what I mean. Yeah. They make your toothbrush bristles. They make everything that Bic makes comes from DuPont. So lighters, pens, razors, it has potentially been exposed. That was one of their biggest, that's a good question. So yeah, we tend to use natural fiber, toothbrushes. A result of that. It was funny because my uncle, my whole family worked for DuPont. Grandparents and uncles, everybody worked for DuPont. My uncle would go away on trips. He would always bring us back like crazy toothbrushes and that was like the weird thing of like light up one. That was a big deal as a kid. Yeah, because they got them for free because they made the Brussels. Something similar to this happened to my dad in his family when he was young because he lived. My grandpa was a marine and they lived in heathland. Yes. And I don't know exactly what they discovered the water was. Yes. But it was poisonous something and now my dad has a ton of like IBS. Yes. Thank you. So I think that he could have gone and got checked as an adult, but he just didn't, but yeah, sometimes I wonder if how connected that was. It is that. It has to be. Because we know that these chemicals cause things like IBS and Crohn's disease and all of that. And so to me. It all has to be connected. 'cause you don't just the rate at which these diseases are occurring at this point in time is astronomical. And it can't all be diet. Because I have a sense of autism. Okay. So of course nobody knows. Right. Why? Right. And you have people who think it's, oh, it's your vaccination. Oh, it's something you did during pregnancy. Right. Or gluten will solve it. Right. Exactly. I can get crazy
