    Good question with no clear answer. I’m not 40 yet and I’ve known three lost to cancer in their late-30s.

    Anyone younger heed these warnings: learn to use and maintain cast iron and carbon steel cookware. It will last your lifetime and there is no need to use nonstick cookware. Do not heat anything in plastic, do not use plastic utensils for anything hot that goes into your mouth. It’s probably impossible to fully eliminate plastic, but avoid it and don’t ever warm it up. Even if nonstick/plastics are discovered not to be the cause, your quality of life is not degraded by avoiding them.

        That’s cool I hadn’t heard of them before. Lots of “ceramic” is kind of a hoax marketing term, but it’s cool to see they are making true glazed ceramic cookware. Cast iron and carbon steel have a learning curve too, but when well seasoned and pre-heated with oil, it’s effortlessly nonstick for pancakes or eggs.
