"'We are confident when we say that the facts, the scientific facts,
demonstrate that the material is perfectly safe to use,' Uma Chowdhry,
Dupont's vice president of research and development, told 20/20 [the TV

"In the demonstration for 20/20, a piece of bacon was just getting

degrees.

"'I've never cooked bacon,' said Chowdhry. 'I can't comment.'"
