We all know that we should stay away from non-stick pans, but are our baking sheets just as important? Nonstick baking sheets and aluminum baking sheets are leaching toxic chemicals or other contaminants into your family’s meals when they are heated. This has been found to cause serious health consequences such as infertility and certain cancers.
The coating on some baking sheets contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), which are very harmful. When these chemicals get onto your food, they tend to remain in our bodies for a long time causing thyroid disease, diabetes, and more.
Non-toxic Baking Sheet
Stainless steel baking sheets are a great choice, as they are non-toxic and durable.
