That's my point: compounds can be poisonous, but the toxicity of an element depends on the compound it's in. PTFE is a compound that's non-toxic. It just doesn't react with anything in the body.
Carbon and fluorine form a really strong bond. This is both why F2 reacts with so much, and why PTFE reacts with so little.
