The French National Assembly on Thursday unanimously adopted a bill aimed at restricting the manufacture and sale of products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — also known as PFAS or “forever chemicals.” The MPs, backed by the government, voted to exclude kitchen utensils from the scope of the text.
Thanks to an intense lobbying push, manufacturers of frying pans and saucepans — including the SEB group, which owns Tefal — are exempt from this ban under the proposed law penned by French Green MPs.
Majority groups initially tried to delay the ban on kitchen utensils until 2030 — a timetable refused by the French Green MPs who instead suggested an exemption until 2026.
Do you understand the difference between excretion and half-life?
Do you understand that anything that has a half-life of SEVERAL YEARS in the blood and is fairly novel and hasn’t been studied for long term effects of exposure on humans, should be something which you avoid having in your blood?
It’s like when tobacco companies put asbestos in cigarettes to “filter” them.

But yeah, tldr I can agree with
You haven’t shown the half-life of PTFE lol
PFAS is a group of substances, not a substance.
PTFE is Teflon. Weird how someone would shill for DuPont, right?

People like you fucking disgust me. Either you’re willfully ignorant or maliciously so. Both are equally pathetic.
Wait up, I just checked and you’re technically right - PTFE is definitely a PFAS. Dunno if it’s dangerous or frequently breaks down into dangerous PFAS, but FWIW I’ve long suspected that nonstick pans can’t be good for you. I’ve never seen a nonstick pan that doesn’t have a single scratch in anyone’s kitchen before.
You could probably stand to improve the clarity of your arguments though haha
Not gonna get very far talking to people like that. Lucky for you I empathize with your intentions,
