Stay Alert!! know what you are using. I use Stainless Steel. No aluminum pans, bottles, storage. No plastics for storage, water, or anything edible. No Glass with Lead!! research it. there are many made overseas that contain lead and most of your old china contains lead.
BE AWARE Toxic Chemicals are just not worth the side effects. NO VOC
Stay healthy:)
