Green Party demands non-stick inquiry
`A US Environmental Protection Agency has found possible links between non-stick cookware, cancer and birth defects and is now asking manufacturers to start winding down production. [..]
Non-stick pots and pans are supposed to be good for you, as they need less fat to cook with.
But the coating contains a compound that the US environmental protection agency has warned may harm our health. [..]
Vet Naya Brangenberg says vets have long known that the fumes from cooking with non-stick pans can be deadly to household birds.
“They’ll have a sudden accumulation of fluid and blood in their lungs, and this fluid will cause them to have a similar effect to drowning, where they can’t absorb oxygen from the air and they will drown to death.”‘
