I agree that we should definitely be taking a common sense approach when it comes to our health and the types of storage items we use. Very thought provoking article, thanks for sharing.

Plastics mess with hormones. Try also using a filter on your kitchen faucet to filter out the impurities.

Hi Alice,

Cheaper is relative when you are talking about spending a few dollars now for a stainless steel bottle as opposed to hundreds of dollars later on the cost of sick care when the toxic substances in the plastic causes illness.

Stainless can be inexpensive. I found one on sale for around $7 that holds 20 ounces.

Great post, I agree the stainless steel bottles are awesome. I think they are even better than traditional plastic bottles, I find they keep my drink cooler for a longer period of time.

Great!

Stainless steel is good, but of course aluminum has been moved to the “do not use” list along with Teflon coated items.

I’m sure you know this, but for readers who may not, don’t put glass or ceramic cookware over the fire if they have just come from the refrigerator and are cold. Applying flame may make them crack or break.

Happy cooking!

Aha! I have both Corning and Pyrex pots, but did not know they were gas burner safe. Thanks, I have just used them in the oven. I use stainless steel pots and pans on the surface now. It is good to know I can use the others if I need to.
