Fluoride in Teflon

See The Ecologist website for an excellent article on the dangers of Teflon. Pat Thomas writes:

"In accordance with the precautionary principle, Teflon should be withdrawn completely from household use until DuPont can produce incontrovertible evidence that this artificial chemical compound is safe to use. If such data is not forthcoming it's easy to predict a future in which legal action could bring Teflon's manufacturer to its knees."
