Yes, that's why the focus here is on cookware.

I really hope there aren't people still using teflon.

Here's a jew article trying to trick people into thinking it's somehow safe because the switched out one forever chemical with another. They used to use PFOA now it's PTFE.

And they are still trying to find new chemicals to make the shit from. Like "GenX" chemicals and PFBS. More poison...

GenX and PFBS are being used as replacement chemicals for PFOA and PFOS, the original Teflon chemicals that were forced off the market due to their decades-long persistence in the environment and their link to serious health harms in exposed people and wildlife.

What they found out about the new replacements

The EPA report confirmed that GenX is associated with harmful effects on the kidney, blood, immune system, liver and development. The EPA also linked it to an elevated risk of cancer (suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential). EPA’s proposed health threshold, called a reference dose, for GenX is in the same range as EPA’s reference dose for PFOA (0.00008 mg/kg/day for GenX versus 0.00002 mg/kg/day for PFOA).

Although EPA’s proposed reference dose for PFBS suggests it is not as toxic as PFOA, PFOS, PFNA, PFHxS and GenX, the EPA still found that PFBS is associated with harmful effects on the thyroid and kidney, reproduction and development.

It is extremely concerning that GenX and PFBS are both linked to similar health harms as the chemicals they have replaced.

Yes, that's literally what they video says.
