Teflon. To Use or Not To Use? That is the question.
What do these daily items have in common?
Hello you earthling munchkins, I'm devoting this little space for awareness of the silent toxin Teflon.
Did you know Teflon is PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE), a large, complex organic polymer, which when broken down, forms several different types of simpler, smaller, organic chemicals that are gases that travel in the air. Dupont's plant produces a toxin called perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA. These chemicals have proven to be very toxic to animals, our environment and possibly humans. Please follow these links for accurate information about the dangers of Teflon.

But, I likes me some Teflon. I, uh, spray it on my Ritz Crackers.
Is that bad? Should I stop ingesting the stuff?
