#3 Nonstick Pans
Nonstick pans contain a chemical known as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), that causes cancer in experiments with animals. The non-stick lining of these pans can be scratched or chipped off and enter your food during the cooking process. To be safe, use stainless steel or cast iron cooking utensils and olive oil for a natural non-stick effect.
#4 Air Fresheners
Air fresheners, synthetic candles or plugged-in scents contain chemicals known as phthalates, that are hormone disrupters and cause reproductive problems and asthma. Some chemicals found in these products resemble estrogen, that may increase your risk for breast cancer. They are also suspected to be carcinogens. These harmful chemicals can easily enter our body when we breathe. Instead of these products, get natural fragrances from fragrant plants or essential oils.
