Dear Hellosailor,
You've got to be kidding me. Its almost common knowledge that Teflon is carcinogenic. Did you know that small birds DIE from the smoke if you burn your teflon pan? Ask any pet store owner, or bird fanatic. I wish I could help you, but I can't. I do know that aluminum is also poisonous.
Finally, I have personal knowledge that Dupont was investigated. I hope you folks will all consider elminating teflon from your pans. My name is Ricardo and I am the owner of todayinhealth . com
If you think the big companies aren't lying to us, checkout the coca cola website, it says "sugar does not cause diabetes". ok, well it must be the broccoli then.
here is more teflon info:
