    I highly suggest watching the movie Dark Waters starring Mark Ruffalo. It covers the true story about a 30 year legal battle to hold DuPont liable for knowingly poisoning their factory workers and 99% of all life on planet earth with PFAS. After losing that court battle they stopped selling their original Teflon pans and started selling a new formulation which they claim is safe. But this is the same company that knowingly sold poison for half a century, bribed government regulatory officers to lie, bought politicians, and buried massive amounts of evidence against them. It’s your choice if you believe them or not.

      I just really wanted to a source for your claim that scratching the surface causes it to “leech toxins into your body”.

          Not that that’s a great article, but it also says

          It isn’t entirely clear if the release of microplastics is dangerous, and researchers are calling for more studies into the possible impact of microplastic contamination during cooking.

          It’s talking about microplastic and they’re not even sure if it is dangerous.

            Like I said, it’s up to you if you want to trust the company that knowingly poisoned 99% of all life on planet earth or not.

                It’s not my word on it, but okay. The original DuPont factory workers trusted the studies and the EPA too. But it’s your decision to make. Good luck. At least watch the movie, or research the issue.

                  It’s not my word on it, but okay.

                  You claimed it but haven’t really provided anything to support it. So it’s really just your word on that it’s leaching toxins.

                  And if I compare your word vs. the studies saying that it is non-toxic, I’m gonna choose the studies over you. It’s not a personal thing but I have no idea about your credential vs. these researchers.

                  At least watch the movie, or research the issue.

                  I have researched it but haven’t found anything to support what you said. Rather the opposite. That’s why I asked your help.

                    Again, DuPont spent billions of dollars pushing fake studies, bribing regulatory agencies to change safety standards, and all sorts of other shenanigans. So it’s really down to the question “do you trust them this time?”. I don’t. You are going to do what you think is best for you. Hopefully they’re not influencing the truth for the sake of profits this time around.
