Ua kākau nui ʻo Tom Perkins e pili ana i ka hopena o nā kemika ʻona.Eia kāna alakaʻi i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mea ʻokoʻa palekana no kāu lumi kuke.
ʻO ka hoʻomākaukau wale ʻana i ka meaʻai hiki ke lilo i wahi maina ʻona.Hoʻopili nā kemika pōʻino ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia ʻanuʻu o ka kuke ʻana: PFAS "kemika mau ʻole" i loko o ka mea kuke ʻole, nā BPA i loko o nā ipu plastik, ke alakaʻi i nā ceramics, arsenic i loko o nā pā, formaldehyde i nā papa ʻoki, a me nā mea hou aku.
Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻia nā mea hoʻoponopono palekana meaʻai no ka pale ʻole ʻana i ka lehulehu mai nā kemika i loko o nā kīhini ma o nā loopholes a me ka pane kūpono ʻole i nā hoʻoweliweli.I ka manawa like, hūnā kekahi mau hui i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea pōʻino a i ʻole e hāʻawi i nā huahana palekana ʻole.ʻO nā ʻoihana maikaʻi ʻole me ka ʻike ʻole e hoʻohui i nā toxins i kā lākou huahana.
ʻO ka ʻike mau ʻana i nā kinikona he nui a mākou e kamaʻilio ai i ko mākou ola i kēlā me kēia lā hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ke olakino.Aia ma kahi o 90,000 mau mea kemika i hana ʻia e ke kanaka a ʻaʻohe o mākou ʻike i ka hopena o kā mākou ʻike ʻana iā lākou i kēlā me kēia lā i ko mākou olakino.Pono kekahi mau mea e mālama ai, a he wahi maikaʻi ka lumi kuke e hoʻomaka ai.Akā paʻakikī loa ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka pahele.
Loaʻa nā ʻokoʻa palekana i ka lāʻau, ke aniani borosilicate, a i ʻole ke kila kuhili ʻole no ka mea kokoke i nā mea kīhini plastik a pau, ʻoiai me kekahi mau hōʻailona.
E makaʻala me nā ʻaʻahu lāʻau ʻole, loaʻa pinepine lākou i nā mea i noiʻi ʻole ʻia.
E kānalua i nā huaʻōlelo kūʻai e like me "sustainable", "green", a i ʻole "non-toxic" ʻaʻohe wehewehe kānāwai.
E nānā i ka loiloi kūʻokoʻa a hana mau i kāu noiʻi ponoʻī.Ke holo nei kekahi mau mea paʻi puke palekana meaʻai i nā hoʻokolohua no nā metala kaumaha a i ʻole nā mea ʻawaʻawa e like me PFAS ma nā huahana i hoʻāʻo ʻole ʻia e nā regulators, hiki ke hāʻawi i ka ʻike pono.
Ke kiʻi nei i koʻu mau makahiki o ka ʻike o ka hoʻohaumia kemika no ka Guardian, ua ʻike au i nā huahana kīhini i haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa a ʻaneʻane ʻole i nā toxins.
Ma kahi o ʻumi makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻololi au i kaʻu mau papa ʻoki ʻilika me nā papa ʻohe, a ʻike wau he mea ʻawaʻawa ʻole no ka mea hiki ke loaʻa i ka plastik nā kaukani kemika.Akā, ua aʻo au e ʻohi mau ʻia ka ʻohe mai kekahi mau ʻāpana lāʻau, a aia ka formaldehyde i loko o ka pulupulu, hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka ʻūhū, ka ʻeha o ka maka, ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka hana o ka māmā, a he mea make kino paha.
ʻOiai aia nā papa ʻohe i hana ʻia me ke kāpili "palekana", hiki ke hana ʻia me ka resin formaldehyde melamine ʻawaʻawa, hiki ke hoʻopilikia i nā puʻupaʻa, hoʻopau endocrine, a me nā pilikia neurological.ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana a me ka nui o ka waikawa i ka meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā toxins.Lawe pinepine nā huahana ʻoʻohe i kahi California Proposition 65 e ʻōlelo aʻo e loaʻa paha i ka huahana kekahi mau kemika i ʻike ʻia e hoʻoulu ai i ka maʻi kanesa.
I ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi papa ʻoki, e hoʻāʻo e ʻimi i ka mea i hana ʻia mai ka ʻāpana lāʻau hoʻokahi, ʻaʻole i hoʻopili ʻia.Eia naʻe, e hoʻomaopopo he nui nā papa i hana ʻia me ka ʻaila mineral meaʻai.Wahi a kekahi he palekana, akā he ʻaila ia, a ma muli o ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana, hiki i ka ʻaila mineral kiʻekiʻe ke carcinogenic.ʻOiai he nui nā mea hana ʻokiʻoki e hoʻohana ana i ka ʻaila mineral, ua hoʻololi kekahi me ka ʻaila niu fractionated a i ʻole beeswax.ʻO Treeboard kekahi o nā hui liʻiliʻi aʻu i ʻike ai e hoʻohana ana i kahi ʻāpana lāʻau paʻa me ka hopena palekana.
ʻO ke kānāwai Pekelala a me ka Food and Drug Administration e ʻae i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kēpau i loko o nā mea kuke a me nā mea ʻoki ʻoki.Hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia a me nā metala kaumaha ʻē aʻe e like me ka arsenic i nā aniani seramika a me nā puaʻa inā e puhi pono ʻia ka ʻāpana a hana ʻia me ka hoʻolei ʻole ʻana i nā toxins i loko o ka meaʻai.
Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau moʻolelo no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka poʻe i ka make kepau mai nā seramika no ka mea ʻaʻole i hoʻomālamalama maikaʻi ʻia kekahi mau seramika, a hiki i nā ʻōpala, nā ʻōpala, a me nā lole a me nā waimaka ʻē aʻe ke hoʻonui i ka pilikia o ka leaching metala.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i nā seramika "lead-free", akā e makaʻala ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia.Hoʻohana ʻo Lead Safe Mama, kahi pūnaewele palekana alakaʻi e Tamara Rubin, i nā lako XRF e hoʻāʻo ai i nā metala kaumaha a me nā mea ʻona ʻē aʻe.Ua kānalua kāna mau ʻike i nā ʻōlelo a kekahi ʻoihana he alakaʻi ʻole.
Malia paha ʻo ka koho palekana loa ʻo ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā seramika a hoʻololi iā lākou me nā ʻoki aniani a me nā kīʻaha.
I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua haʻalele au i kaʻu mau pā Teflon, i hana ʻia mai ka PFAS ʻona i pau i ka meaʻai, i makemake ʻia i ka mea kuke ʻai hao enameled kaulana, i ʻike ʻia he palekana no ka mea ʻaʻole i hana pinepine ʻia me ka uhi ʻole.
Akā, ua hōʻike kekahi mau meaʻai palekana a me nā mea paʻi puke alakaʻi e hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ke alakaʻi, arsenic a me nā metala kaumaha ʻē aʻe i loko o ka pan glazes a i ʻole he bleaches e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ke kala.Hiki i kekahi mau hui ke hoʻolaha i kahi huahana me ka ʻole o nā metala kaumaha, e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole i loko o ka huahana holoʻokoʻa, akā ʻo ia wale nō ke ʻano ʻaʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke ʻawaʻawa i ka wā o ka hana ʻana, a i ʻole ke alakaʻi i ka meaʻai.ma kahi ili.Akā, hiki i nā ʻōpala, nā ʻōpala, a me nā lole a me nā waimaka ke hoʻokomo i nā metala kaumaha i kāu meaʻai.
Nui nā pā i kūʻai ʻia ma ke ʻano he "palekana", "'ōmaʻomaʻo", a i ʻole "no-toxic", akā ʻaʻole i wehewehe ʻia kēia mau huaʻōlelo, a ua hoʻohana kekahi mau ʻoihana i kēia kānalua.Hiki ke hoʻolaha ʻia nā huahana ma ke ʻano he "PTFE-free" a i ʻole "PFOA-free", akā ua hōʻike ʻia nā hoʻokolohua aia kekahi mau huahana i kēia mau kemika.Eia kekahi, ʻo PFOA a me Teflon ʻelua mau ʻano o PFAS, a he mau tausani.Ke hoʻāʻo nei e pale i ka hoʻohana ʻana iā Teflon, e ʻimi i nā pā i kapa ʻia ʻo "PFAS-free", "PFC-free", a i ʻole "PFA-free".
ʻO kaʻu mea hana ʻawaʻawa ʻole ʻo ka SolidTeknics Noni Frying Pan, i hana ʻia mai ke kila kila ferritic haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa kiʻekiʻe, he metala allergenic hiki ke make i nā mea nui.Hana ʻia ia mai kahi ʻāpana kila ʻole hoʻokahi ma mua o nā ʻāpana he nui a me nā mea i hiki ke komo i nā metala kaumaha.
ʻO kaʻu ipu hao kalapona i hana ʻia i ka home ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻawaʻawa a hana ʻia e like me ka skillet hao non-enamelled, ʻo ia kekahi koho palekana maʻamau.Maʻemaʻe nō hoʻi kekahi pā aniani, a no ka poʻe e kuke nui ana, he hoʻolālā maikaʻi ke kūʻai ʻana i nā pā he nui o nā mea like ʻole e pale ai i ka ʻike ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā i nā mea ʻawaʻawa.
Ua like nā pilikia o nā ipu hao a me nā pā.Hana ʻia kaʻu ipu ʻo HomiChef 8 lita mai ke kila kila ʻole nickel maikaʻi ʻole i ʻike ʻia he mea ʻawaʻawa ʻole.
Ua loaʻa i nā hoʻokolohua a Rubin ke kēpau a me nā metala kaumaha ʻē aʻe i loko o kekahi o nā ipu hao.Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o kekahi mau brand.Ua loaʻa i kāna hoʻāʻo ʻana ke alakaʻi i kekahi mau meaʻai i loko o ka Instant Pot, akā ʻaʻole i nā meaʻai i hoʻopili ʻia me ka meaʻai.
E hoʻāʻo e pale i nā ʻāpana plastik i ka wā e hana ai i ke kofe, no ka mea, hiki i kēia mea ke loaʻa i nā kaukani kemika e hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia, ʻoi aku ka paʻa ʻana me nā mea wela a waika e like me ke kofe.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mea hana kofe uila i hana ʻia me ka plastic, akā hoʻohana wau i ka paʻi Palani.ʻO kēia wale nō ka paʻi aniani i loaʻa iaʻu me ka ʻole o kahi kānana plastik ma ka poʻi.ʻO kahi koho maikaʻi ʻē aʻe ʻo ka Chemex Glass Brewery, a ʻaʻohe ʻāpana kila kila i hiki ke loaʻa i ka nickel.Hoʻohana pū au i ka ipu aniani ma kahi o ka hue kila kuhiliʻole e pale aku i ka hoʻolei ʻana i ka metala nickel i loaʻa mau i ke kila kuhili.
Hoʻohana wau i ka Berkey Activated Carbon Filtration System no ka mea ua ʻōlelo ʻia e wehe i kahi ākea o nā kemika, bacteria, metala, PFAS a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.Ua hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo Berkey no ka mea ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia ʻo NSF/ANSI, ʻo ia ka palapala palekana a ke aupuni pekelala no nā kānana mea kūʻai.
Akā, hoʻokuʻu ka hui i nā hoʻokolohua kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa ʻekolu no nā mea haumia ma mua o ka uhi ʻana o nā hoʻokolohua NSF/ANSI, akā me ka ʻole o ka hōʻoia, ʻaʻole hiki ke kūʻai ʻia kekahi mau kānana Berkey ma Kaleponi a i Iowa.
ʻO nā ʻōnaehana reverse osmosis paha ka ʻōnaehana mālama wai maikaʻi loa, ʻoiai inā pili ka PFAS, akā hoʻopau lākou i ka nui o ka wai a wehe i nā minerala.
He mea maʻamau ka spatula palaki, nā ʻōpiʻi, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, akā hiki ke loaʻa i nā kaukani kemika i hiki ke neʻe i loko o ka meaʻai, ʻoi aku hoʻi i ka wā i hoʻomehana ʻia a i ʻakika paha.Hana ʻia ka hapa nui o kaʻu mea kuke i kēia manawa mai ke kila kila a i ʻole ka lāʻau, ʻoi aku ka palekana, akā e makaʻala i ka mea kuke ʻohe me ke kāpili formaldehyde a i ʻole nā mea kuke i hana ʻia mai ka melamine formaldehyde resin.
Ke ʻimi nei au i nā mea kuke i hana ʻia mai kahi ʻāpana lāʻau paʻa a ke ʻimi nei au i nā mea pau ʻole a palekana paha e like me ka beeswax a i ʻole ka ʻaila niu.
Ua pani au i ka hapa nui o nā ipu plastik, ʻeke sandwich, a me nā ipu ʻai maloʻo me nā ipu aniani.Hiki i nā plastik ke loaʻa nā kaukani kemika hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻia.ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ipu aniani a i ʻole nā pahu i ka wā lōʻihi.
Hoʻohana ka nui o nā mea hana pepa wax i ka ʻaila a hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka pepa me ka chlorine, akā hoʻohana kekahi mau lama, e like me If You Care, e hoʻohana i ka pepa unbleached a me ka soy wax.
Pēlā nō, mālama ʻia kekahi ʻano o ka parchment me ka PFAS ʻawaʻawa a i ʻole bleached me ka chlorine.Inā mālama ʻoe ʻaʻole bleached ka pepa parchment a ʻaʻole PFAS.Ua nānā ka Mamavation Blog i ʻelima mau hōʻailona i hoʻāʻo ʻia e nā labs i hōʻoia ʻia e EPA a ʻike ʻia ʻelua o lākou i PFAS.
ʻO nā hoʻokolohua aʻu i kauoha ai i loaʻa nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o PFAS ma Reynolds "non-stick" pūʻolo.Hoʻohana ʻia ka PFAS ma ke ʻano he mau lāʻau non-stick a lubricants i ke kaʻina hana a hoʻopaʻa i nā alumini alumini āpau aʻo ka alumini i manaʻo ʻia he neurotoxin a hiki ke komo i ka meaʻai.ʻO ke koho maikaʻi loa ʻo ia nā ipu aniani, a ma ka hapa nui o nā hihia he manuahi ʻole o nā toxins.
No ka holoi ʻana i nā kīʻaha a me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i nā ʻili, hoʻohana wau i ka Dr Bronner's Sal Suds, aia nā mea ʻawaʻawa ʻole a ʻaʻohe ʻala.Hoʻohana ka ʻoihana ma luna o 3,000 mau mea kemika e ʻono i nā meaʻai.Ua hōʻailona kekahi pūʻulu mea kūʻai aku ma kahi o 1,200 o kēia mau mea kemika o ka hopohopo.
Eia nō naʻe, mālama ʻia nā aila koʻikoʻi i nā pahu i hana ʻia mai PFAS ma mua o ka hoʻohui ʻia ʻana i nā huahana mea kūʻai hope e like me ke kopa.Ua ʻike ʻia kēia mau kemika i loko o nā wai i mālama ʻia i loko o ia mau pahu.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Bronner e hele mai ana i loko o kahi ʻōmole plastik PFAS-free a ʻaʻole i loko o Sal Suds nā aila pono.No ka mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima, ʻaʻole wau e hoʻohana i ka ʻōmole plastik, hoʻohana wau i ka kopa ʻaʻala ʻole a Kauka Bronner.
ʻO kahi kumu maikaʻi o ka ʻike e pili ana i nā kopa ʻona ʻole, nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe kīhini ʻē aʻe ʻo ia ka Pūʻulu Hana Kaiapuni.
