Teflon will kill you, and its everywhere
    #5311111 - 02/17/06 04:58 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Summary: Teflon causes cancer ; To be phased out (c-8) by 2016


Where is the media attention? The same Teflon on your pans, candy wrappers, Fire Fighting Foam, in your engine oil, and on your clothing (to name a few) contains C-8. And guess what? Its now been considered a likely carcinogen. If you use a Teflon pan near a caged bird, it may very well die from the toxins(Many documented cases). It took 20 years for the EPA to finally recognize this, and it will take another 10 to completely phase out the product. 95% of the public has this toxin in their body.

Yet, you don't hear about it in the media as much as one would think.

I need some microwave popcorn. MMM'M those Teflon covered bags give it all the flavor.

Nono, theres many cases where a caged bird was near the stove, a stove with Teflon pans on the burner. The fumes killed the birds in their cages... Yet DuPont said there was no harm.

In the 50s they made plates and bowls and cups with uranium paint. A huge number of things we do and use are "unhealthy" for us, be practical though.

The smoke and gasses released when Teflon is heated to the point of burning is what kills birds. It's not something that occurs with normal usage, people who say otherwise are sensationalist just trying to get a rise out of people. Proper use of a Teflon coated pan is perfectly safe. I don't see why people don't just use cast iron pans. A properly seasoned cast iron skillet is more effective against stuck on food than a Teflon coated pan anyway. I've never had Teflon coated cookware, and never will.

"this just in.. everything causes cancer"

Exactly!

AND...

Quote:

DuPont wrote that "significant decomposition of the coating will occur only when temperatures exceed about 660 degrees
F
(340 degrees C). These temperatures alone are well above the normal cooking range." These new tests show that cookware
exceeds these temperatures and turns toxic through the common act of preheating a pan, on a burner set on high.




Wko the HELL does this??? "COMMON ACT", MY ASS! Do this just once and the pan is RUINED! WTF?!?!
