At least you are aware, and this enables you to make choices. You are right we are literally living in toxins, eating drinking, breathing and rubbing against them. We can't avoid it all but I think we can minimize our exposure to many of them. My step mom thought I was crazy for not cooking in non-sticking(teflon) pans. She said stopping that alone would not prevent cancer, and I said that I realized this, but by minimizing my exposure to all the carcinogens amongst us, I may have a better chance of avoiding the repercussions.edit on 26-8-2012 by speculativeoptimist because: (no reason given)
Some things we can do to prevent aluminum from staying in our systems are take calcium, magnesium and zinc supplements. For detoxing existing aluminum, Lemon Juice, Tumeric, Garlic, Kelp and Cilantro can be used. Also, soaking our feet in a mix of half epsom salt and half sea salt with water will remove aluminum through our feet. Sweet, plus it feels good.

Good topic. And one dear to my heart. If you take a magnet with you next time you go to Wally World (or where ever) and check out the stainless steel cookware there, you will be surprised. Steel is magnetic. Yet the magnet will refuse to stick to a lot of the stainless steel cookware. I researched this on line and found out: There is no such thing as Stainless Steel. It is a Trade name. Also, aluminum was never designed for high heat (like cooking on a stove). It leaches poisonous gasses into the food. They shouldn't even be allowed to SELL this stuff as cookware.
As an aside....Organic health bars from the local health food stores. Wrapped in pretty wrapper, nice green healthy looking background. Open the bar....yep, wrapped in aluminum foil.

It takes hundreds if not thousands of years for that type of evolutionary change, though, doesn't it?
And, in the last 50 years of so, we have been bombarded with so many additives and faux foods....things man has never, ever had in his system.
I think we should stress or bodies with as few of these "toxins" as possible......else we play havoc with our immune system...

Most of the cheaper cooking pans are made from aluminum which also leache aluminum in cooked foods. There are many alternatives, enamel, glass, iron, take your pick. Not to offend the OP, but I heard this same information in the early 80's. Maybe it's making it's way back around because people didn't pay attention the first time.
