Teflon.
Teflon isn't really the problem, it is incredibly inert by itself. It is the nasty chemicals needed to process it and bond it to things that are polluting the environment and eventually getting into our bodies because they don't break down.
It's so stable that it probably doesn't even do anything even if it gets into your body.
What's a good alternative? I used to love those teflon pans back when I was a teen.
Let me introduce you to your personal savior, cast iron.
