Use only Glass, Cast Iron and Ceramic cookware if possible, to avoid toxic chemicals and metal toxins.
In my opinion, Zwilling, a German cookware company is the leading choice in cookware products, as they have ceramic with stainless sleel base and Cast Iron cookware pots.
Be aware of the Health risk associated with Aluminum, Plastic and Crystalware (glasses and dishes) products.
. Use glass kettles or stainless steel pans.
. Avoid using plastic wares or containers.
. Be aware of health issues associated with Teflon and non-stick cookware.
. Aluminum cookware, cooking utensils, eating cutlery and aluminum foil give off toxic substances. Research publications in The journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, shows a strong link between human exposure to aluminum and the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. Other research has not only linked aluminum to Alzheimer’s, but also to bone diseases and reduced growth rates of brain cells.
Crystalware
Crystalwave is nice looking and is known for its sophistication and looks, but it is toxic with lead and cadmium. It is made by combining molten quartz with lead compounds and these toxic elements can be released into the food and cause many health risks to the brain, kidneys and liver.

Plastic
Soft plastic bottles have Nonylphenol, which has the potential of an endocrine disruptor and xenoestrogen, due to its ability to act with estrogen-like activity.
Hard plastic are made up Bisphenol A (BPA). BPA are in plastic bottles and are used to coat inside of cans for canned foods.
Estrogen has the phenol ring and both Nonylphenol and Bisphenol A (BPA) have the phenol ring and it is the phenol is the key that unlocks the door into the esterogen recetorize on the cell. This can attribute to hormonal imbalance.
