brad_troika comments on Nonstick Cookware Industry Furious at Suggestion They Should Stop Causing Cancer

The part you quoted says nothing about cancer, article only mentions potential risks with no evidence and no article cited. I'm sorry but articles like these are why people believe chocolate cures cancer or sitting down is as bad as smoking.

I don't claim there's no connection but so far I've seen no evidence.

I don’r know why you’re downvoted. That’s not an unfair assessment of the article. I offered it more as inference that the release of toxins when overheating the material is releasing potentially carcinogenic toxins. I take the view that what effectively amounts to burning many materials releases carcinogens and toxins, particularly man-made materials.

This is an article about a factory right? Not exactly the same conditions as cooking with a pan.

buying a pan increases demand for that item, which then gets built in those factories that then pollute the water you drink and the air you breathe. So yeah, they're directly correlated.
