Toxic Tangents

Many of our Detect & Detox Test Kit users have high exposures to toxic chemicals through the foods they consume, and how they prepare these foods. Toxic chemicals can leach into your food as you are cooking, which you then eat and absorb in your body. Many of these chemicals can disrupt your hormones, promote infertility, and cause weight gain.That’s why we are such big advocates for using non-toxic cookware. Today, we’re going to be joined by Erik Bergstrom of Xtrema Cookware. Xtrema Cookware is 100% ceramic cookware, which is important to differentiate from coated ceramic, which we’ll discuss.Learn more about Xtrema Cookware: https://xtrema.com/Get tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Detect & Detox Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/
