The China Study by T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II expound on this. Teflon may affect the rise in cancer, but American's diets seems like a more likely cause.

I am presently doing a show for the Parrot Society in Houston,TX with Moneta's Ceramica cookware. It is manufactured by Moneta in Italy and has certification for it being non Teflon. If the bird societies are concerned about their animals, I would think we should all be concerned about ourselves and the exposure. We need to get rid of Teflon in our homes and find other sources of cookware. We should also have concerns about Teflon.

You should research before "sticking" with stainless cookware. Did anyone ever realize that anytime you have a major surgery such as a hip, knee, or bone replacement that the only metal a doctors uses is titanium? Even the tools in surgery are all titanium. The reason for this is because its light, durable, and doesn't leach any metals into the body. So yes even using stainless isn't good. The highest grade of stainless you will find in a store is gonna be 18/10. Which is 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel. Jewelry made of this has been recalled and that just touches your skin. The cleanest cooking surface in the world is titanium. It is also nonstick but has no coating like Teflon, doesn't require any water or oil when cooking which is much healthier, and resist chemical reactions with your food. Therefore you can use half the seasonings you would normally use which is healthier, and it will taste like it's supposed to. Do this, take a 1qt of yours, in stainless and any other metal you might have, put a little water in it, add a level teaspoon of backing soda, and boil for 7 minutes. Taste the water in each individual piece that you want to test, and you will taste exactly what is being emitted into your food. Every different metal cooking surface, even ceramic coated, and Teflon, will have different taste. This taste is what is in your food that you cover up with seasoning. Titanium is the only one that has no reaction to any foods period! Anyone can respond to this and i can give links to titanium cookware distributors. I'll never cook on anything else! I agree Sue.

It takes years and years of research to prove such associations. Do you want to be the guinea pigs while waiting for the results of such research? As far as I'm concerned, there is no good reason to use cookware coated with a chemical that can end up staying in our bloodstreams for years. I'll stick with my stainless steel pots, thank you!

I have been out looking for a line of pans that does not have any toxic materials and when in Italy last year found a company called Moneta that has a line of ceramaica pans. Bought a few and have started to get rid of all my other pan. I just found a site here in the US called www.gocookware.com that is carrying Moneta.

Why do websites keep harping on a chemical used in the manufacturing process? Just how many of us are manufacturing teflon pans in our homes? Very good point, Mano.

Hydrogen is extremely flammable and oxygen supports combustion, yet their compound water puts out fires. Basic chemistry, people.
