The EPA has already urged companies to voluntarily ban their use of
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) -- a chemical used in making Teflon.

An independent scientific review panel advising the EPA took it a step
further, ruling Teflon and other non-stick and stain-resistant
chemicals are "likely" carcinogens.

No they didn't, Timmy. They only mentioned PFOA. They didn't say
that Teflon was a likely carcinogen.

Typical of you to get it wrong.

Now, that's not fair David. Timmy typically does get things wrong, yes,
but in this instance it's more likely that he deliberately misquoted
rather than misunderstood.

DuPont stated there is no PFOA left in Teflon-coated pans during
cooking because the PFOA is destroyed during the manufacturing process,
so they don't know why PFOA is turning up in human blood samples
nationwide. I guess it's magic. Do yourself a favor and dump
teflon-treated products. http://www.newstarget.com/001809.html

I intend to. It's not as though I'm going to get my health advice
from liars like you.

I'll do myself a bigger favor and ignore your advice.

In case you haven't noticed, I regularly tell folks to try various
health modalities for themselves. The Creator has endowed each of us
with a most wonderful bio-chemical laboratory...use it...and discover
health truth for yourself...

With almost every teflon skillet I have had the teflon coating comes up and
ends up in my food at some point in time, so I get these little black
crunchy things to chew on. I agree teflon is worthless. What's wrong with
an iron skillet and some olive oil?
