A short search does not tell me whether or not those chemicals are still the ones in use today for non-stick pans. Are we still full tilt on consuming C8 and Teflon?

The article mentions that they have stopped using C8, but the population is so contaminated with it that 97% of people have it in their body. It's also in new born babies and breast milk.

Seeing as how this information has come to light recently I would assume so. Gonna have to switch to cast iron.
