I came across this article today and I thought I should share it: http://whosgreenaz.com/2010/10/29/7-products-you-should
-ban-from-your-home-forever/ . Some of these are pretty well know but a few, like nonstick pans, I haven't heard of. Are there any other products we keep around the house that are toxic to us?

Wow, that article really worried me. Nonstick, low-fat products such as the spray "Pam" fall under the category of "nonstick" cookware as well. I didn't realize how harmful these products could be. Check out this website I found describing why the process can be damaging to one's health as well as the environment: http://lowfatcooking.about.com/od/healthandfitness/a/no

In addition, I completely see how the use of antibacterial products harms our natural ability to fight germs and makes us less resistant to bacteria and viruses. I have worked with children for about three years now in clinic and school settings and the more we force the kids to use antibacterial products, the more the kids end up getting sick. I am a firm believer in soap and water!
