It't probably true that most of us have eaten a whole lot of teflon in
our lifetimes. It may be non stick but metal untensils will scrape it
out of a pan without issue.

I've since gotten past metal and now use plastics, but still - it's a
non-reactive substance. The fact that it stands up to acids means it
gets to our stomach, doesn't get broken down, and just passed on
through.

It's a lot of scare tactics, none of which has been backed up by hard
science.
