WHERE DOES TEFLON^® GO WHEN IT DIES? By Robin Wheeler

Have you ever asked yourself that question? We've all seen the scratched Teflon pans at garage sales, but few of us have stopped to ponder where exactly all those little scrapings of non-stick coating have gone. But it's a question that has been put to the people at Cyber-Help, who had to do some research to answer this question. After all, organic food processors could be using Teflon pots to create value-added products. Buyers of Certified Organic products want to be assured they are getting the cleanest possible foods. So our question is, "Are there Teflon residues remaining in the foods cooked in Teflon, and if so, is that a bad thing?" - February 8, 2004
