About LinkBacksJust got through hearing about
PFOA.A chemical that has been
widely used for years and years.
It's found in teflon coating,
oven cleaner,stain master carpet,
and many other places.
It has been found to cause
reproductory problems and
cancer in lab animals.In
4 out of 5 humans tested it
shows up in their blood.
Now the debate is on in
what to do.There may be a
national ban.So much for
science and modern
conveniences.
Any comments are
welcome.

Yeah, I heard that teflon is bad. It can cause some major health problems from what I heard.

Boy! I'm glad we've pretty well got it scraped off of the pots and pans at the FD. It's amazing how much it looks like pepper.
