廚房裡的毒素
Toxins in the Kitchen

Eating for longevity begins in the kitchen. You may be eating only organic, antioxidant-rich foods, but if you cooked your food on the toxic surface of your stovetop in a carcinogenic no-stick pan, you just might be doing more harm than good. Find out how to make over your kitchen for health and long life!
Cut the Grease Without the Toxins(清理油污以無毒的方式)
When you are facing a stovetop with a buildup of baked-on grease, don’t turn to commercial oven and stovetop cleaners - that is like cleaning with poison.
Instead, try baking soda(用小蘇打). Just sprinkle baking soda on your stovetop, let it sit for five minutes and then scour the surface with either steel wool or scrubber. For the stubborn spots that refuse to be removed, try spraying this mixture on: mix dishwashing liquid, borax, and warm water together; let it sit for 20 minutes, and then scour it.
Microwave: Nothing to Rave About(微波爐的胡言亂語)
People in the U. S. think microwaves are an ingenious time-saving device and wonder how anyone ever lived without one. Think again!
Microwaves use super-fast particles to literally radiate the contents of water inside food and bring it to boil. Not only has microwave use been linked to causing infertility in men, but it also denatures many of the essential proteins in the food making them virtually indigestible.
If you must, use the low setting just to heat the foods. Or better yet, get a small toaster oven or steam oven and warm your foods. Take your time and warm up your food in a safe and healthy way.
Poisonous Pots and Pans (有毒的鍋﹑罐)
Are your pots and pans poisoning you? If you are using copper(銅) or aluminum(鋁) cookware, they might be. These metals interact with heat and food, and leach into your diet; gradually these will accumulate in your body, sometimes reaching the point of toxicity.
Toxic levels of aluminum have been linked to memory loss, headaches, indigestion, and brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. High levels of copper can debilitate the immune system and enable cancer cells to proliferate.
After scouring with abrasives, even stainless steel(不銹鋼) can release small amounts of toxic metals like chromium and nickel. Nonstick pans(不黏鍋) - although convenient in the kitchen - contain Teflon, a plastic(塑料) that in recent years has been linked to immune disorders and possible cancer conditions.
My suggestion is to use(建議使用) cookware with porcelain(瓷) enamel coating or made of glass(玻璃), cast iron(鐵), or lead-free, terra-cotta clay(不含鉛的陶﹑瓦罐).
Bad News About Canned Goods (罐頭食品的不好方面)
In today’s industrialized world, it is more important than ever to search out fresh food, as much for the health benefits of locally grown produce as for the health dangers presented by the alternative.
Canned foods, though easier to use than cooking from scratch, are a threat to your health. The substance bisphenol A, used to line food cans, is classified as an endocrine disruptor, a compound that can act like a hormone when it enters the human system.
Scientists have discovered that exposure to these chemicals can contribute to prostate cancer, breast cancer, cystic ovaries, and endometriosis.
I hope you receive the longevity rewards that come from making over your kitchen! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.
May you live long, live strong, and live happy!
