Phil.Phil, you may be interested in the following:- I am just reading in The Times today (July 20) that DuPont is being sued for $5 billion in a lawsuit amid claims that the company knew its non-stick pan coating caused cancer, but carried on selling it regardless. The US Government findings are that perfluorooctanoic acid, also known as C8 or PFOA, the main ingredient in Teflon, might cause cancer in human beings. Apparently, concerns over the coating have grown since May.
That certainly does not look good 
If you Google for "teflon cancer" there are oodles of news reports all rehashing the same stuff. But others are saying that there is no scientific eveidence at all that teflon causes cancer. Americans will sue over anything, but it's certainly worth keeping an eye on.
Many thanks for the heads up.
