This is not correct. Please watch the documentary film. Teflon absolutely has these health issues. You can move the tail ends of the molecule around all you want to and it still has the same dangers.
- kurthr 8y agoUmmm... tail? C2F4 doesn't have one. It will form a polymer, but it doesn't have a tail. As I mentioned sulfates may be a byproduct in some manufacturing (precipitation) processes, but not in cookware where their contamination would be absolutely critical at ppm levels. Perhaps you mean the coordinating Oxygen in PFA or the Sulfur in PFOA, PFOS (ScotchGuard)? Those chemicals are known to be toxic and contaminated many marine animals and watersheds... some are regulated, some are not, and some companies have ignored the regulation, or the regulators have ignored the pollution. It's bad, but not relevant to teflon PTFE per se.
- mimixco 8y agoIt seems like you might not have seen the film. I'm not a chemistry expert, but it was quite enlightening. Maybe if you get a chance to watch it you cost post your thoughts...
