Turns out Teflon is actually Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), try say that quickly. Turns out this PTFE is a “likely carcinogen” (cancer-causing substance). What? Say that again.., you can get cancer from using Teflon, as in the Teflon in your cookware, the stuff you produce your food in?

Just read this, this or this… and get some stainless steel or cast iron pans…
