Dr. huggins and dr. tom levy MD in his book "Optimal Nutrition for Optimal Health" the real truth about eating right for weight loss, detoxification, low cholesterol, better digestion and overall well being"
Says: "use enameled iron or glass cookwares, such as that made by Le Creuset and Pyrex. Avoid aluminum and stainless steel whenever possible" Dr. Huggins says he has tested Le Creuset and also the "Lodge" brand cast iron fry pans and they seem to be the best option. He also suggests using a bamboo steamer for steaming. For years I bought the Visionware that were coloured either brown or rose coloured thinking glass was the best choice. Unfortunately I first learned here about a year ago that they leach toxic metals from the dyes and then I also learned about that as well at Dr. Huggins dental revision clinic in Colorado. This would explain a lot of the heavy metals in my hair analysis! The cast iron Le Creuset pots were outrageous in price, so we just had 1 pot to start with that would fit the bamboo steamer and you could fry in it, boil water in it etc. Then I found an ebay seller that was selling 10pc or 12pc sets, I can't remember how many. Even with importing, shipping and duty fees it was like 1/2 the cost of what I would pay at a Williams Sonoma type store. But apparently you guys in the states have Le CReuset 'outlet' stores where you can pick them up for a steal. The way I figure it, is they are cast iron with enamel. As long as I use proper utensils, the enamel should last and the whole set should be the only pots I need for the next 20ish years. We actually have a special 'bean pot' that an old timer friend of my husband gave to us. I flipped it over and it's a Le Creuset! LOL AND I just found another one at a garage sale for $20 the other day. I have also purchased storage containers and casserole dishes etc. at the Pyrex outlet store at the us/Canadian border. When doing homemade French fries I was unsure what to do without a 'cookie sheet' so I put them in the bottom of 2 large pyrex casserole with some coconut oil and they turn out great. At the Goodwill the other day there was actually a clear Pyrex huge oven roaster- I'd never seen one before! It even had a lid- I have the Le Creuset pots so I didn't need it but I certainly was intrigued. It would have held an 8lb chicken easy I bet. I have also found the old Corningware white enameled pots which are stove top and oven safe and from my understanding these are great to use too. In fact my 'rife doctor' cleans them by soaking them with peroxide. These are the adjustments we've made so far.... I hope long term they are the best options...

It used to be sold at most stores -- now is unavailable. So I pick up pieces as I find them at antique malls and flea markets. You can also buy them on Ebay.
