Well here is what Teflon say

Here's what the Telegraph says

And the EWG

EWG says that swallowed particles are inert, and it's heating the Teflon/equivalent that is the problem. On the basis of that I kept my very expensive ice cream maker once the teflon started to get worn away by the rotating paddle!
