So you want to heat your stainless steel at a medium heat for like a couple minutes, and then you add your oil, and then you should be able to cook your egg.

Stainless steel, I would put as A. Okay, great.

Yep. So any acidic food will leach iron from your cast iron pan. So if you already have a high blood iron level, let's say you have a condition called hemochromatosis, then you actually want to avoid cooking in cast iron because iron can actually go into your food. And you definitely want to avoid cooking acidic food in cast iron.

Not only that, the acidity of the food actually can erode away that nice seasoning that's actually making your cast iron nonstick. So I actually mainly just kind of pan fry and do my What I would normally do in a nonstick pan in my cast iron, if I want to make a stew with tomato sauce or anything like that, I actually use my stainless steel.

I love this question. So endocrine disruptors are a group of chemicals that can interfere and mess with our own hormones. The hormones are these kind of messengers in our bodies. They go from the brain to the organs like sex organs and tell it what to do. So think of things like thyroid as a hormone, insulin as a hormone, sex hormones like estrogen, testosterone.

So endocrine disruptors can interfere with these hormones. And what we see as a downstream effect of that are things like fertility issues, insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes, weight gain. and lots of other conditions. So it's a big problem and it really affects us quite ubiquitously across the board. So pregnant women who are exposed could be passing these onto their unborn children.

And if the unborn children are exposed during these critical windows, it can actually switch on and off genes that determine the propensity towards obesity later on. So their kind of propensity to weight gain later on in life. So it's really important and kind of critical if you're in that preconception pregnant phase.

But in children too, it can affect their new nervous system development, brain development, their immune system has been linked to allergies and eczema, asthma, those kind of conditions. So across the board, we're all affected and we all should be paying attention. Now, the commonest source of that group of chemicals that we are exposed to every single day is going to be in the kitchen again.
