Bullshit. There is “toxic” and there is “causes cancer, even outside California, reduces fertility, and negatively affects fetal development.” Just because something doesn’t kill you immediately does not mean it isn’t harmful.

Teflon is not harmful. Period. It doesn't cause ANYTHING in the body. It's about the most inert material that you can possibly ingest.

Even inert materials can do stuff, such as prevent other reactions or act catalytically or have physical impacts (collision which defold molecules, make certain things heavier by being enclosed or enclosing ... ).

Furthermore PTFE is know to interact with Gallic Acid [1] somewhat. The body contains gallic acid

Please cite the long term studies on ingested PTFE coatings that assert they are safe. I'll wait...
