Get rid of her stainless steel pans and pots because of chemicals from the stainless steel leaching into her food . He told her they are bad for the health of people who use them to cook . She was throwing them away and I told her to hang on and let me do some research on them . I cannot find one blasted thing that says about any chemical leaching into the food from people cooking with stainless steel pots and pans. Do any of you know anything about this ?

here are 3 articles that indicate there might, maybe, sort of, be a minimal issue under certain circumstances

Interesting theory from the doctor. I just bought a cheap stainless tea kettle, and now I'm thinking I might be drinking nickel in the tea.

From your link:

Quote:
When it comes to dishware, glass is a great choice, followed by ceramic dishware with lead-free glaze. If you are concerned about breakage - food grade silicone (Kinderville brand), high quality 304-grade stainless steel and bamboo or wood containing food-safe finishes are all safe options.
Avoid Teflon and any other chemical non-stick coatings. Teflon is a coating manufactured using perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which is considered “a likely human carcinogen.”

It occurs after wear and tear when the coating gets scratched and the chemicals get into the food.

If you've had them for decades, there's probably not much non-scratch quality left in them.

A Systemic nickel allergy can be affected by hip/knee replacements, stainless steel cookware, foods, etc etc. Its dosage related so if someone has a nickel allergy the drs tell you to pay attention to what you eat, use etc. The info is out there.

First thing you see when you click the link is "Nonstick Cookware". It's pretty much common knowledge that nonstick teflon pans will leach into your foods when not used properly. Avoid high heat and utensils that can scratch the surface. Stainless steel is perfectly safe. Your doctor is full of baloney or he meant something else other than SS. Quality stainless steel is just that and should contain no nickle. The cheap stuff is another story.
