Some alarmist info on Teflon: http://tuberose.com/Teflon.html

It's not just alarmist, it's wacko stuff. Innuendo, inferences, junk science and an agenda too blatantly obvious to credit. These people say it kills everything, everywhere and you;re gonna be next.

Aren't you glad your safe? 

I bet you see this as clever.

Thank you, I will check that out

DuPont says, nuh-uh. And, much as I'm skeptical of corporate weaseling, I'm even more skeptical about martyrs who spread misinformation to advance their semi-hysterical, utterly unbalanced viewpoints.

Wow! what a mouthful! Haha ... you are one impressive demagogue!

Wow! What a shovelful. Haha... you are one impressive illiterate who doesn't know what demagogue means.

Teflon is not needed at all if you have good quality cookware and you cook with it properly.

Stuff sticks to bare metals, even with good quality cookware properly handled. Bare metals are harder to clean. It's not "needed" but it does make the whole process easier. Every restaurant I know uses them for all the obvious reasons.

I am glad my kitchen isn't a restaurant, I would be scrubbing and scrubbing

Nah. You wouldn't be open long enough. But, hey, with non-stick cookware, a swipe with a damp cloth and it's clean.

There is a lot of information about the toxicity of Teflon
available just by Googling it.

Teflon *fumes* can cause problems. Teflon, itself is inert under most circumstances.

Ahh of course ... ok ... let's take a piece of metal covered with Teflon and heat it up real hot right under our faces ... Hmmm ...

Sure. Just like we all do with pots and pans. Just amble over to the stove, slip a copper skillet onto the burner and fire it up. Pedal to the metal. Make that sucker glow...

Um, the actual temperature matters. In all these cases. But, as in the first boner post, no facts; only innuendo.

For any of the tree hugger flame stuff that is likely to ensue, let me just go ahead and respond now and say - by all means, please, eat whatever you want!

<LOL> So any differences of opinion are "tree hugger flame stuff" but your misinformation is what, purity and truth revealed by God...?

Thank you for the compliment

Did you think it was a compliment...? Really...? Not even you could believe that...

but try not to be so naive. 

<LOL> More dictionary time for you, Sparky. Naive is exactly what I'm not.

> Lighten up. Smile! ... Enjoy your day!

Do you think I do this for fun...? Oh, wait. That's why I do post to empty nonsense like this. Well, that and typing practice.

BTW, Aluminum is also toxic.

Puhleeeze. Aluminum is in virtually everything you eat. It's the most plentiful metal on earth. There's no reliable science that says that aluminum is toxic except in huge amounts.

It is true that there is a lot of viable argument for both sides of that one, I personally try not to eat metals if I can avoid it due to the toxicity.

Actually, there's no "viable" argument for toxicity of aluminum. Nor for iron in any amounts likely to be ingested. No science that agrees with anything in your stance. Lots of foil helmet types agree with you, though...

Iron, steel, and glass are the only ways to go.

Iron can be toxic in levels comparable to the aluminum ones. Likewise steel because of the alloying metals.

Yes but Aluminum is very soft and thus is more likely to get scratched off into food from cooking utensils. Eat it if you want, it makes no difference to me.

Oh, sure it does. You see yourself as better informed and all smug and superior about it. And, with one small quibble, it's so; that better informed part. The quibble is that what you think you know is nonsense.

If you have to use Aluminum foil (I admit, it's handy stuff) use the polished side.

<LOL> Brilliant. Both sides are aluminum. The "polished" side is merely shinier because of how it's manufactured. There are no benefits in using either side for any purpose. They are both just plain, uncoated aluminum.

The polished side has been milled, they are not the same. Once again, eat it if you want, I could care less

Nah. Aluminum foil is rolled, not milled. Milling aluminum is a very touchy process, and virtually impossible in such thin sheets. Once again, you don't know what you're talking about.

Oh yeah ... one other
thing ... For any of the tree hugger flame stuff that is likely to ensue, let me just go ahead and respond now and say - by all means, please, eat whatever you want!

Oh, I don't think anyone needs that permission...

Calm down there big fella! Relax, eat something, maybe some nice cookies or something ... with a little milk

<LOL> It's nothing short of hilarious how you blast into this thread with fevered exhortation and frantic condemnation and then advise others not to act like you. That would be called "projection." Oh, jeez. More dictionary time. Sorry.

But it is very funny how you characterize anyone who doesn't march in lockstep with you. <LOL> Tree huggers... Right.

That is pure judgement on your behalf,

You don't mean behalf... But, yes it is a judgement based on your using that image twice, stupidly, I might add.

I actually meant it as a joke due to all the rabid flaming from folks like yourself that have difficulty having intelligent, respectful conversations, but I digress.

See, the problem with your oh-so-sincere desire to have peaceful conversation is absolutely blown away when you post the kind of misinformed twaddle you do. It's very difficult and finally unproductive to even try to do that when the deepest hallmark of the stuff coming from you is agenda-laden polemics from these wingnut web sites. Lots of woo-woo, new age, save the dying planet and my gastric system idiocy.

> If you want to have a
peaceful, rational discussion then by all means, I am available for that.

You only think that. It's all in your imagination. Those conditions assume capability to do so.

If you want to get into a pissing match, expect no reply except from the other trolls that make, stupid, one liner comments designed to insult other people in an attempt to qualify their pathetic, angry, tiny little minds.

Right. Tree hugging bastids. Punch great chasms in the masturbatory claptrap you post and they're all tree huggers. And pathetic and angry with tiny little minds. And never a moment's question about what you "know" from yourself.
