Although im much better now that im now on medication I do still get slight symptoms such as pains in chest and abdominals. Have been using the same non stick pan for a few years now and noticed quite a lot of the non stick as come off and probably been eaten or absorbed with my food. Thanks for this page as now will investigate to see if these symptoms and my non stick pan are related.

The main concern is that it puts iron deposits into food that are unnoticeable to the human eye. It has its hazards as well, mostly from improper care and handling.

I'm a representative of DuPont though, and hope you'll let me share some information with you and your readers, so that everyone can make truly informed decisions. The recent Exeter study tried to determine whether there is a potential relationship between PFOA and thyroid changes. The study’s authors state that the observed association is a correlation, which may or may not be causal. This is inconsistent with other studies, including studies of workers who have had much higher levels of PFOA exposure than the general public. These workers have not shown any changes that would indicate impact on the thyroid. The weight of evidence gathered from a number of significant health studies continues to indicate to us that there is no health risk to the general public from exposure to PFOA. Please take a look at http://www2.dupont.com/PFOA2/en_US/pfoa_thyroid.html for more info. http://www.teflon.com/Teflon/teflonissafe and www.pfoa.dupont.com can provide you with additional information, as well.
