1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Nielsa Adri. You're listening to kfi EM six

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: forty the four Purport on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: All right, the kitchen is a place of great focus

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: in a home. Right, It's one of those happy places

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: that in times of intensity like today, in times of

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: celebration even that, there are reasons to cook, to bake,

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: to come together. However, it could also be a place

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: of toxicity. We learn to wash our produce, We learn

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: different tools and things to do in our home to

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: make sure that our home is as clean as can be. Well,

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of toxins that people are looking into,

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: scientists are looking at that are in the home. We

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: hear about microplastics, we hear about all these things. And

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: the truth of the matter is, I'm one of those

15
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: people who truly believes toxicity is in the dose. Talking

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: this week with folks, the reality is if you give

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: enough of anything to a rat in a lab, it's

18
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: going to get cancer. And it's not to say that

19
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: we should poo poo the science, because we should and

20
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: it's important to learn these things, and science is important

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: to our understanding. Of course, the reality is dosage, even water,

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: people have gotten water poisoning. There is anything can become

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: a problematic in its dose. So to understand what these

24
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: things are and to take action on them so you

25
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: don't have a lot in your home. I remember the

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: concept of plastic was such a huge deal that if

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: you go back and watch the classic The Graduate, there's

28
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: a guy there saying, I can't remember the actor's name,

29
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: but he's the same guy who played the mayor in Jaws,

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: and he's you know, they're at a party or something.

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: They're all talking. He's a neighbor or something that can remember,

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: and he makes the comment, plastics. You gotta invest in plastics.

33
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: It's the next big thing. Well, now we're getting to

34
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: a stage in our lives where we're looking at those

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: things and we're looking at plastics and going, maybe this

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: is not the best way. So stick around when we

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: come back and we talk about some very simple things

38
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: you can do in your home and how everything old

39
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: is new again, and we'll talk about that for your kitchen,

40
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: to get rid of some of these unnecessary toxins that

41
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: we just don't necessarily need in our kitchen. You're listening

42
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: to The Fork Report with nilsa Adra on demand from

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. All right, So back to toxicity

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: in your home. And I'm not something to sound the

45
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: alarms on everything, but there are some things that we

46
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: should know about and that we can make decisions in

47
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: our home to make better. And in the kitchen where

48
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: you're using heat, you're using things on the daily, they

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: get tons of usage that you should think. So plastic

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: mixing bowls, the belief now is to switch from those

51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: and go to stainless steel or back to glass mixing bowls.

52
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: We so much try and change things by going from

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: the tried and true, and then we go to the

54
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: inexpensive and we lose our focus in what's going on.

55
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: For the longest time, everybody has worried about wood cutting boards,

56
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: and we've talked about this on the air, have gone

57
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: into it over and over. Wood cutting boards, if properly maintained,

58
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: are incredibly safe. Now people say, well, what about plastic.

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Plastic is safe, it's fine, it's not great for your knife,

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: per se. And when you get those little cuts on

61
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: them and they look like kind of little dark lines

62
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: on them, get a microscope because those dark lines, it's

63
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: not dirt, that's bacteria in there. And yes, you can

64
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: put them in the dishwasher. But some of the composite

65
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: ones that are made out of kind of like they're

66
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: called Epicurean style. I think Epicurean cutting boards. I use those,

67
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: so it's a great and they go they pop right

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: into they act like wood and they pop right into

69
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: the dishwasher as well. So these are some things that

70
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: we're now going back to wood because the plastic ones

71
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: are now problematic in the eyes of many, just like

72
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: we go back and forth between plastic bags and paper bags.

73
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: And Handle made a comment about this a couple of

74
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: weeks back when it was raining. Nothing like southern California

75
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: switching from plastic to paper bags right before storm. Then

76
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: people have to bring paper bags in the rain to

77
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: their home. AnyWho. Ceramic and aluminum baking sheets are coming back.

78
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: You can get in many different things. You can get them,

79
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: you know. I think green Pan has some Nordic were

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: tons of them out there. Where you can find non

81
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: stick that is safe and doesn't have the toxicity in it.

82
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: Wooden cutting boards, as I said, coming back, toss the

83
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: toxic cookware. This is you want PF as those are

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: the initials you want to look for the pfas free cookware.

85
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: That's what you want, ceramic, non toxic cookware. You know,

86
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: cast iron is coming back because cast iron is so great,

87
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: needs to be protected properly and all of that. So

88
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: lodge cast iron is great. You have the ceramic coated

89
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: different cast irons out there getting better and better. As

90
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: far as kitchen utensils, they're saying, dump the plastic now.

91
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Do I have some, Yes, but most of my stuff

92
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: has been switched out with stainless steel and silicone tipped wooden.

93
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: So back to the wooden ones are you know, coming up?

94
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: So any of those types of things that you see

95
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: out there, you can get move yourself away from the

96
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: plastic and on into the stainless steal and of course

97
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the wood that has always been in there. Bamboo is

98
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: also great as well. I know we think of bamboo

99
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: as wood, but it's not. It's actually a grass, very sustainable,

100
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: grows very quickly and one of those things that works

101
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: very well in the kitchen. Two. So some things to

102
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: think about. You've been listening to the Fork Report. You

103
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty

105
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,800
