Same for BPA. Widely used, now it's know to be an endocrine disrupter, now that there's a public outcry they've switched to some other undisclosed chemical that probably does the same thing (as a chemical analogue) or some other bad thing that will take 50 years to figure out. It's gonna keep happening until we flip the regulatory model on its head and require companies to prove the chemicals they're using are safe, which will never happen, because god forbid we don't let capitalism poison us all so we can have non-stick pans. The weird thing is that this explosion of new chemical compounds has really only happened in the last 120 years or so. It never used to be a given that we had to do things this way.
