I just threw out all of my frying pans, probably too late though :(

First BPA and now PFCs!!! What's next? Are they going to tell me the lead glaze on my ceramic plates is hazardous???

So... did the researchers handle and measure all those "sticks", or did they leave that to the research subjects? If not measured by real scientists I have no confidence in the results. I recall my answers to those silly questionnaires in high school, do you do drugs? have you ever had sex?, have you ever had alcohol?, etc.. I was know for being a smart a$$, and never answered those the same two years in a row. I may have skewed the end results.

Depending on the scientist the results could also be skewed. Quite a pickle.

I always answer Druid when they ask my religion! Reformed though, we worship trees but will cut one down and burn it for firewood if we get cold.

At least you would know for a fact you were at the maximum attainable size were she the one doing the measurements!

I would like a look at the demographics of who uses non-stick pans versus those who do not....

 

[JettaKnight]

Cast iron FTW.

Or carbon steel (my new fave).
Or stainless steel if there's a lot of acid involved.


I threw out all my coated pans because they're all crap.

Just to Denny, it...

There's a number of different techniques for measuring that yield totally different results for the same... um... specimen. So, there needs to be a clear procedure.

As the study, the Brits are widely known for producing a lot of these junk science reports that are full of errors and small sample sizes (hehe).

For more info on measuring, read or listen to Bonk: The curious case of coupling, by Mary Roach.

Wait, upon reading deep into the article, they are measuring the "show", not the "grow".

In other words: Objection, relevance.

Yes, I wondered about that too. Still, you have to think over hundreds of people it is a statistical difference in groups.

And that goes back to my previous question- have they controlled for ALL other variables other than what they are headlining?

Why does the article specify “men’s penises”? Apparently women’s penises are not effected.

They didn't want to be confusing by clittoring up the results.

Rep!
You made me laugh!

 

[Dirtebiker]

Why would anyone be exposing themselves to frying pans anyway?

So are you saying it is properly measured as: (length X girth/yaw)/mass or length X weight/(width X yaw) + girth?

“Study aborted due to inability to find target organ”

FIFY

There are no families without the things we are discussing.
