Toxic chemicals and teflon? Read on

Great article presented by CBC's Marketplace about Teflon and a related chemical that breaks down into a potentially toxic substance.  And guess what...its everywhere.

Read:

This is why having a publically funded news and broadcasting agency which is partially free of corporate advertising influence pays off...in dividends.

do I want to read it knowing i'll discover something horrible?

EDIT: Read about half it to get the gist of it and honestly, I'm not worried.

Well...all my school uniform clothes are treated with teflon...


If I showed up wearing a Pantera shirt and faded jeans, think I could use this as an excuse?

Teflon has fluor in it, the most rabid element beside radioactives.

It's no suprise teflon wasn't meant to be burned in you owen.

No, we have a difference between jelly and jam. They're both spreads, but jelly is more, err... jelatinous, whereas jam just kind of glops, and it usually has seeds in it. Jell-O is something entirely different.

Having had both Jelly (called 'Preserve' in the UK) and Jam, I can confirm that.

And yes, what the British call Jelly, the Americans tend to call Jello, which is actually a brand name. :)

From toxic Teflon to Railgunned Jelly, we really do get around don't we? ;)

Main problem is you need to throw it quite close to the target, things like jelly, feathers, and other non lethal novelty items tend not to go very far, regardless of how hard you throw them. :sigh:


As for teflon, should I be worried about my pans?.... Nah, I'm off to fry some breakfast.

Jelly is Nature's Teflon, and the sooner we wake up and smell the burning toxins, the better it will be.  (NB: jelly only turns into teflon at Mach 7 and beyond) :nervous:
