Okay then. However it's a fact that there's lead in many of these AND buying a test is super cheap comparative to recklessly poisoning ones family.
You do you Siouxze.
edit: just looked through your post history and saw this, which absolutely could be related to lead poisoning:
>Having my thyroid removed, which had been overtaken by a massive cancerous tumor, was an elective surgery. Diagnosed 1/17, scheduled for removal almost a month later. It was a SUPER FUN month.
Please know that I post this not to be a dick or snarky. Life is crazy and things add up and I am so sorry you've gone through this, whether related or not.
Be well.

Most crockpots are like what $20-30? Small price to remove lead from your cookware…

Lol. Ok. If these things have been recklessly poisoning families for 50 years, why isnt everyone walking around with cancer? Maybe it's because my cancer had nothing to do with a crockpot and everything to do with the american healthcare systems failings and bad genetics. If these things were as deadly as people claim they'd be banned from thriftstores, ebay, etc like the corningware electric kettles.
Wait until you find out about nonstick coatings. You will shit a brick.

Yep. I don't touch teflon, also cancerous.
You're the one in denial who is actively poisoning your body. Go ahead. Keep it up.

LOL. Look at all the cases of cancers in the last 50 years. It has everything to do with families poisoning their systems whether with lead, teflon, mercury, etc. It's a combination of poor choices and denialism.

Fun fact: most older american homes have lead water intake pipes. Youre trying to make this about crock pots when it's not. Flint Michigan is not an isolated case. An unnerving amount of america has way more lead exposure than they realize. Just not from these old crock pots.

I'm not blaming it solely on crock pots. Like I stated in my very first response to your crazy ass replies, it all adds up. It's a combination of poor choices; lead in water pipes, paint, crockpots; teflon cookware, living near petrolium plant; it all adds up Soixzie.
Grow up. Wake up. Take some responsibility and open your eyes.

How about you wake up and actually educate yourself. But consumers need not fret in the dark. The FDA maintains a list of products it has tested that have revealed lead contamination. The good news: Not a single crockpot is listed.

Post proof that Crock Pots are a leading cause of lead poisoning.
ZenoofElia t1_ivnyjy7 wrote
I never claimed that they’re the “leading” cause, I responded to Souizxe who made claims that there’s no relation or history of cause yet she ended up with thyroid cancer. You prove there is not.
roninwarshadow t1_ivnzl3z wrote
You can't prove a negative (prove there isn't). It's like saying "Prove unicorns and vampires DON'T exists." See Russell's Flying Teapot.
And I made no claim, so I have nothing to prove.
You're saying there's a link between their thyroid cancer and their usage of a Crock Pot.
Prove the connection and back your claim.
This is the Burden of Proof. Claimant must prove their claim, if they want to be believed. The skeptic doesn't need to prove anything to remain skeptical.

I only expressed the correlation. I don’t need to prove anything to you or her. Bugger off lil ronin
siouxze t1_ivpd3l9 wrote
Because you really have NOTHING but internet speculation for proof.
ZenoofElia t1_ivpdr6z wrote
Not speculation Souixze. It's a fact there's lead in those old crockpots.
It's a fact that lead poisoning is a factor in thyroid cancer.
Denial only gets you what you've got/had. Good luck.

If there's one thing I'm sure as shit not blaming it on, it's crock pots.
roninwarshadow t1_ivo0973 wrote
So you got no proof to back your claim?
So all we have is wild speculation and nothing to back it.
Cool, here is my "correlation," every one who got thyroid cancer drinks water and breathes air.
Air and water cause cancer.
Is this how this works?
siouxze t1_ivpdad2 wrote
Omg, you're right. I do drink water and breathe air. That must be what caused my cancer! /s
Wait until all these idiots find out the water intake pipe on their house/apartment building is made of lead.
