Good to know.

The most trusted search engine in the world. Google AI.
The short follow-up is do you trust the manufacturers/suppliers.
And it all boils down to the glaze. High quality vs. low quality.
Also, need to be warry of fancy colored ones as it could contain
lead and cadmium.

Where are you getting those quotes from? Ceramic cookware is safe as far as I can tell.

Odd, I don't get a captcha from that archive site. Maybe it's because of that pesky VPN you are using.

I'll let you know when I get to the link. Captcha is still at it.

For Halloween

Earth Science Edit: 0:48 Iceland (I had forgotten about the samples being from Iceland. I was just watching the video again.)

I noticed that too. Why I haven't been posting more videos from her heh
For the others, just remember, the videos I post are just to get your feet wet but still do your
own research. Focus on the subject not the presenter.

I use metal utensils. I don't use those non stick Teflon coated pots and pans.
Once those pots and pans get the tiniest of scratches toss it.

Not from the video. Been looking for the video I saw years ago about this.

the damaged coating can release chemicals, including PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances),
into your food, particularly when the pan is scratched, which can flake off tiny particles of the coating into your meal;
this is why it's important to replace scratched non-stick pans.

Even those ceramic ones

Do not use non-stick ceramic pans with scratches because the damaged coating can allow chemicals to leach into your food,
especially if the pan is made with a coating containing PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances),
which are considered potentially harmful to health when ingested.

chuft I can't seem to get to your link right now. It's bugging out
again on the captcha. I hate that thing. It's not just that site but others
that use that crap.

Before I didn't even get that empty box it was just white.
This site captcha does this to me all the time.




Finally got the I'm not a robot option clicked on it and....

For LazyPooky here is a video about that woman Sabine in a previous video who was talking about physics. Gives some perspective on her recent videos, which seem to have veered away from science explanation videos to "sour grapes" videos. She is becoming popular with anti-science nutcases now, which is a bad sign.

Throw out your black plastic spatula

PFAS is a problem. Somehow our whole country is covered with it. Spread by earthworms, there are PFAS residues found in all the eggs collected from backyard chickens across the country. Still a mystery where it comes from. I bet other countries have the same problem.

Can't remember if I've ever been stuck other than those allergy tests.

Protip: if you are ever having your finger stuck with one of those little finger sticks to get a drop of blood, typically for a hemoglobin reading or a blood sugar reading, do NOT squeeze the finger to get blood to come out. That pushes out a lot of interstitial fluid and will result in inaccurate results. The stick should produce enough blood on its own after a few moments. If you have to squeeze to get enough blood, it is a botched sample and you should re-stick another finger.

I can't tell you how many health care professionals don't know or care about this and will squeeze your finger to get enough blood for a sample.
