Teflon cooking is dangerous 7674

Michel,

Let me ask you a question. You seem to be a very intelligent person with good sense of reasoning. So I'd like to bring this to a civil discussion.

What piece of evidence do you believe makes "Teflon" safe? Here is why I'm asking. I'm not claiming Teflon is lethal. I'm also not saying we should live in a bubble. But I truly felt like I had been contagioned a few days ago. So let's use deductive reasoning. Here were my symptoms: fever, backache, diarrhea, stomach pains, chills, severe headache, mental fogginess. Are these the symptoms of regular flu?

Also, have you ever tested any of your cookware for Teflon remnants in food?

Here is an experiment everyone can do: Obtain an aluminum pan, cast iron, teflon, and stainless steel pan. Pour water in each with a little baking soda. Boil each for 2 minutes and then pour into a glbutt. Here will be your results: Your aluminum pan will take like drinking metal. Your cast iron will be nasty, your teflon will taste similar to oil and you may vomit, and your stainless steel water will taste like salty water. Try the experiment.

My final question: typically if something bad happens to someone, it's not human nature to "reattack" the person. So my question: why does it bring out such ugly qualities in people when I try to share my story? Isn't the 'best experiment' the actual use by humans? i think the ONLY reason most people don't think teflon can make them sick is because they are so used to getting the flu or cold each season. Thing is, I've not contracted the flu or cold for about 2 years. I've even been in contact with someone with the flu a few months back and shook his hand as a "test". My immune system is very strong. That's why I can legitimately have a bit more confidence. Thank you Michel for your time. Grant
