Hey everyone,

I emailed Zidiz concerning my order (They are sold out and will send all orders out on Monday). Anyway, I asked them if they also sell the white tourmaline pads that Body pure sells. Guess what? They will be having a special next week where you can purchase 500 (50 sets of 10) white tourmaline pads for about $398.00! I already reserved mine so I can sell them locally. If anyone is interested contact Zidiz. These pads will be made-to-order.

Keep-on-Detoxin'-on!

hey,
yeah, I got concerned about that a while back too, so I got a set of the wolfgang puck 18/10 stainless steal cookware. It's working out great. I still have the other stuff around, but hardly ever use it and will probably just get rid of it now. later, Mike

Raider,
There is a toxins and detox forum in there, somewhere. I know that I purchased a Zorijushi rice cooker because it was recommended By B_OB or somebody as a healthier alternative to the teflon coated aluminum types. However I do not remember what forum it was that was dealing with cooking utensils.
I have recently gotten rid of all my teflon stuff and I am just keeping one small pan around for occasional use. I purchased a 9 piece set by Martha *Good-Thing* Stewart, and its 18/10 Stainless Steel with a copper bottom on the outside for greater heat conductivity. I purchased it at Target for about $90.00. I strongly considered Wolfman's, but it included many more pieces than I thought I would need. If I had to pick the best, I would probably go with the Farberware Millenium Stainless Steel, but the price made Martha's a better choice for me.
Oh yeah, I recently also purchased a steam cooker at Target for $30, which is quite nice. It's all plastic and has a timer, so you can decide wether you want your veggies crisp or soggy. It's also a nice way to re-heat food without having to nuke.
Ali :-D

By far the best cookware from a toxins perspective is earthenware. It is also the cheapest. You can find it in most Oriental markets. The only drawback is you have to be more careful with it because it is breakable. Can't let a pot boil dry or drop a lid.

The 2nd best thing is cast iron. Corningware or other glassware is also very good.

Stainless steel still leaches heavy metals, particularly nickel, tin, zinc.

Never, ever use aluminum or teflon.
