My attitude to Teflon is any harm to the pan is a kick in the balls to me. Because of the incredibly harmful effect on testosterone, it mimics testosterone hormone--almost identical shape, so what it does is it gets in the testosterone receptors and makes men less masculine. And it gets lodged in there. I suspect it's a driving factor in the surge of transexuality and male infertility (low sperm counts etc) because it's fucking everywhere and can impede masculinization very directly. Because the thing is, if you're going to be a man, you better be a hell of a man--then you get all the rewards--but if you're defective, not quite as resourceful, tolerant to pain, audacious, quick (testosterone increases your brain speed a bit), or like have a weaker frame, receding jaw, any one of dozens of signature flaws you get treated so much worse. So compromising masculinity--in particular what's called the brain waves, what that is is partly brain waves, which determine frequency of the brain, so you end up a bit slower, like 6 Hz instead of 7 Hz. Huge role in determining how much respect you get as a man. Second testosterone alters the brain, so more risk-seeking more pain-tolerant, and frequently, toxic masculinity ie plotting ways to take advantage of women, or more violent, or more dead-set on premeditated crime.
Teflon is also bad for women, who also produce and need testosterone in their own smaller quantities, it eg helps them be toned and thin, and is insufficient to trigger eg facial hair development. And I think when they are expecting a boy, there's something going on there, their testosterone helps that boy develop properly, not sure.
It's just a remarkable chemical that is great for bacon and eggs. So just super conservative with it, never put it under anything, only cook with a dedicated plastic thing, never permit anyone do anything with it. And guess what? It's just as effective--exactly as effective--as it was when I bought it, I successfully protected the surface and my masculinity with my conservative attitude toward it.
