Stainlees Steel and Plastic

March 4, 2001

I just wanted to post something interesting about the cook ware and

the plastic we use these days.

I've seen on this list post 58459 and 45713 that people recommend

stainless steel and iron and be carefull with plastic ( cups -spoon)

If you think about it - What did your mother cook with or your

grandmother?

Our mothers and grandmothers used to store flour in brown paper or

glass or ceramic.

I have been searching for clues why my daughter 3,5 years suddenly

should develop major yeast problem in her genetalia last summer and

autumn. When the yeast came -the result - going down the hill- first

slowly then speeding up the last two months.

My daughter developed normally until last summer.

She spoke English and Norwegian, met all the milestones and more.

Had her MMR autumn 98- no problem.

We knew she had a leaky gut, tested by Dr. Reicheldt summer 99. " One

of these kids with leaky gut and no development problems " . She has

been on Nutramigen since she was 4 months old. The only thing was

that she didn't socialice with girls, only with boys - but we didn't

pay to much attention to that.

I just looked into the cook ware. ( I have been looking in to the

milk theory and still are.)

I'm boiling water for her milk every day.Last March I change the pot.

For one year now I've been using a pot from Willeroy and Bosch

(bought in the 80's),I don't really know what it is made of.( Not

stainless steel.)

My 10 months old get water for her formula from the same pot.

Last summer we also bought a lot of plastic cups. I was tired of

cleaning up broken glas from the kitchen floor ( from the oldest one).

Looking back and knowing and seing what I know and see now, my

oldest 6 year must have had major yeast problem since he was 1 year

for sure and probably before that.

Well it's back to glass and stainless steel for me, and packing the

lunch in paper before putting it in the lunch box.

Maybe we got kids at risk - because of cookware and plastic used

in the last 80 years together with mercury fillings????? Just a

thought.

Ojibwa tea should be made in stainless steel. Maybe another hint.

Thanks for listening.
