toxic to birds and flu-like symptoms in humans? Smart birds don't use teflon, what scientific reason do you need to stop using it? Try the "Pollution Test" recommended by Dr Robert Young of the pH Miracle: boil 1 cup water and 1 tbsp baking soda for 5 to 10 minutes in your teflon pan. One drop of the resulting liquid on your spoon tastes like burnt tires! Blah! Some of that floride/PTFE/PFOA/adhesive soup comes off fairly easy, boiling is only 212... further to think on this, I think...
If teflon is inert being (C2F4)n and you taste it, it shouldn't taste like anything being inert enough NOT to react with your tastebuds. Likewise if you're tasting perfluorooctanoic acis, you should taste a sour of the acid, not a burnt taste. The burt you are tasting is the food that's been cooked to burning and the residue lasting on the pan. Just saying that if you taste burnt, it's the the teflon or the PFOA, it's probably food residue considering that's what burns...
Great question Candidly, go to the environmental working group website and search teflon. Many articles and hundreds of links.

Not too informative about Teflon here. How much research is there about Teflon?
