The 'F' in PTFE (AKA Teflon) is Fluorine - Fluorine compounds are perfectly safe so long as they're correctly-handled, and they can be as inert as anything else

- NickM 13y agoI agree with your general point, but as an aside I wouldn't call Teflon perfectly safe...it's fine as long as you don't heat it up too much, but at higher temperatures it releases toxic gasses (and we're talking temperatures you can easily reach on your kitchen stove).
