Why Most Cookware Is Secretly Toxic: PFAS in Nonstick, Brain-Damaging Aluminum, Dementia-causing Cast Iron With David Barrett
November 28, 2024 · 26 min

How safe is your cookware? If you’ve ever wondered whether your pots and pans are doing more harm than good, this episode is a must-listen. 

David Barrett, founder of Chef’s Foundry and a passionate advocate for non-toxic kitchenware, joins us to reveal the startling truths about common cookware and how it impacts your health.

We’re talking about everything from PFAS (the so-called “forever chemicals”) found in nonstick pans, to the dangers of cast iron, aluminum, and even some ceramic cookware. 

David shares his insights on what to avoid, what to look for, and how his Chef’s Foundry products make cooking safer and more enjoyable.

 

"You really have to do your own research... Big brands can claim 'non-toxic' when they're not, so it’s essential to look deeper." ~David Barrett
