As someone who is not that into heavy metal, at least not in my food, I’m excited about a new line of healthy cookware promoted over at Dr. Mercola’s website.

I was interested in their earlier release of cast iron cookware but it was just too complicated for my lifestyle – I have limited storage space and few appliances – so I’ve been looking for equally healthy alternatives to cast iron. Why? Chances are that the pots and pans in your home right now, the ones you cook with everyday, are made of one or more of the following:

• Teflon
• Aluminum
• Stainless steel
• Copper

According to this article and many more like it- these types of cookware (especially Teflon) have shown these leech toxins into your body over time contributing to Alzheimers, Allergies, tumors and serious organ changes.

Before this line of healthy cookware came out, which is made of lightweight ceramic Nano Glaze™ material, the only alternative cookware out there was cast iron. But it is extremely heavy, and requires being broken in by “seasoning” it in the oven. Not practical for me as I don’t even own an oven in my tiny studio apartment!
