It's more toxic than BPA by far, and more pervasive. It causes a documented set of symptoms - teflon flu - and it has killed a ton of pet birds over the years, outgassing when it's heated to higher temps. The plant in the nor'east is at the center of a cancer cluster - they make it, they get cancer.

Totally unexplainable. We don't care. We keep using the stuff.
