Look no further than standard self-care products and receipts. Possibly Teflon: https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/03/08/7-surprising-spe

  Dr. Mercola is a quack. While there may be something to the teflon thing, citing Mercola doesn't give it a whole lot of credibility. He's an anti-vaxxer, he claims microwaves alter food's chemistry, says AIDS is caused by stress, not HIV, and says sunscreen causes cancer. Meanwhile, he sells, directly from his website, products that conveniently solve all the quackery fear mongering he spews. Please do not cite this clown.

    Aside from that, it's a very dangerous mindset to say "look no further". We should always be looking further, trying to disprove our theories. They may be based on falsehoods.

    >he claims microwaves alter food's chemistry To be fair, doesn't all cooking alter food's chemistry? In fact, isn't that the whole point of cooking? Look at potatoes for example: humans can't digest raw potato, so we learned to cook it eons ago because that changes it into a form we can digest. So unless I'm missing something related to terminology, he's right about microwaves altering food chemistry, but it's just scare-mongering because you frequently want to alter food chemistry. The rest of those things you cite are, of course, total BS.
