Apparently Teflon ( the non stick coating on pans ) is carcinogenic !

Says not likely

 

It does breakdown at a relatively low temperature and the gases and other products aren't good for you.

 

I was warned that it could pyrolyse to produce hydrofluoric acid, which can get through the skin and catalyse bone breakdown, such that amputation in front of the moving decomposition is the only way of stopping it. Luckily this is now considered an urban myth.

Ok . That's a relief . Back in 2001 I turned up some bushes from a bar of PTFE to fit inside my steering damper on my race bike  . The action was like night and day compared to the original nylon ones .  Don't know why I posted that really .....
