Clay Pots for Cooking
Are clay pots carcinogenic?
Yes. There are no toxic materials or chemicals in the making of clay cookware. It is eco-friendly and safe to use on all kitchen appliances and used with all types of food. It is safe for vegetarians, vegans, all organic and subject to certain dietary restrictions.
Is it just coincidence or is there something more to the fact that many civilizations around the world that cooked and ate in pure clay pots were also cancer free?
The community where I come from is living proof. I come from a community in South India and have lived there for 24 years of my life. And I knew someone who had cancer (she was addicted to tobacco, so the connection was obvious). And no, just because the people there couldn’t diagnose it — India is a place where an urgent health problem — especially one with such drastic results — cannot go unnoticed. Medical science has been around for over 5,000 years.
I think this is because by cooking in clay, people were able to eliminate an important means by which carcinogens enter our bodies. Keep in mind that the food you eat has the biggest influence on how your body functions.
What happens when you cook in pots that are reactive?
When cooking in reactive metal pots, metals like cadmium, nickel, lead chromium, zinc in steel, molybdenum, aluminum in aluminum pots and PFOA in coated cookware inevitably seep into your food. It’s a process where these metals react and chemically bind to your food, with the heat acting as a catalyst. And then get into your body.
These poisonous metal ions can be very disruptive in the body. First, they accumulate and disrupt the functioning of vital organs and glands such as heart, brain, kidneys, bones, liver, etc. Second, they replace vital nutrient minerals in cells. For example, enzymes are catalysts for virtually all biochemical reactions in the body. But instead of calcium being present in an enzymatic reaction, nickel or chromium can be there instead. Toxic metals cannot perform the same role as nutritional minerals, so their presence becomes extremely disruptive.
Having metals implanted in your body is not the same as eating chemicals and metals in your food. So don’t let people confuse you by saying that since the body can take a metal implant, it should also be able to take metals from the food we eat.
Is this for Real, Can you test this?
A simple experiment that you can do in your kitchen to test this out is to boil a glass of water in any metal pot or pan. When boiling, add less than half a teaspoon of baking soda to the water. Baking soda is an alkaline substance with a high pH. Most of the food we eat is alkaline (or that’s how it is supposed to be). Once the water boils, turn off the stove and wait for the water to cool, take a sip of the water. In addition to the taste of baking soda, you will taste a foul metallic taste due to the presence of metals. In comparison, when the same experiment is performed in a pure, unglazed clay pot, you will only taste the baking soda.
To take it one step further, add the same amount of baking soda in a glass of water, stir it in and taste. It will have the exact same taste as the water in the MEC clay pot. This proves the inert or non-reactive nature of pure-clay cooking pots.
The Healthier Alternative:
In search of healthy cookware, it became clear that there was no other better raw material to make cookware than Pure & Natural Clay, which is an inert, non-reactive & safe cooking pot so long as it’s sourced from the right locations, is tested for purity, and has NO chemicals and additives used during the making. When made this way, these are the only pots that can emit this unique food friendly heat that does not destroy the delicate nutrients and cook your food without adding any metals or toxins!
This is why we are bent on making high quality cookware with pure & tested clay that is world renowned and time-tested to produce very delicious and nutritious food.
Our pots are 100% present carcinogen-free guaranteed. Not only do we ensure that the raw material is free of carcinogens, but also make sure no toxins or anything else is added during the making process. Our manufacturing facility is a zero toxic waste facility. This means there is NO BPA, NO LEAD, NO TBHQ, NO toxic coloring, NO parabens… nothing but Pure-and tested Primary Clay. And this is what one of our customers recently said about it:
“Its truly the most natural way to cook your food. I am just loving this pot….”
People have finally realized and acknowledge that environmental toxins are the single biggest cause for cancer. The food you eat, the air your breath, the lotion on your skin, the hair gel… Among them all, the food you eat is the one thing that has more influence than all the others combined. And the pot you choose has the ability to either give you all the nutrients in the food without any metals, chemicals or toxins, or find a way to become a part of your food and mess things. Now the choice is yours. Hope you choose what is right for you.
