NOT SARAN.

There are a number of sites on the breakdown of teflon such as
http://ecomall.com/greenshopping/teflon.htm
It is reported to break down to a chemical warfare agent known as
PFIB, and a
chemical analog of the WWII nerve gas phosgene, which is NOT saran
gas..
If you search for both "teflon breakdown" and "saran gas" you will
find only 3
or so web pages that have both, and none of those indicate any relation
between teflon breakdown products and saran gas.

Not to have doubt, I'm just very curious.

I do not use Teflon. My understanding is that when it is heated very
hot,
it breaks down to yield Saran....nerve gas.

Speaking of aluminum cookware, just try to find any. Uncoated with
teflon, I mean. I am beginning to wonder if some of my problems are
from
nickel leaching from stainless steel, though I'm very carefu, never
scour the pans, etc. I'd like to get an aluminum pan but can no longer
find any.
Most of the anodized ones I've seen all have teflon linings and I'd
simply rather not use that. I haven't thrown out my pans that do have
teflon, but I don't really see the need for it in ordinary saucepans.
And none of it that I've had in any pan ever aged well.

Iron is very toxic. When small children eat overdoses of ordinary
multiple vitamins, they may die from the iron.
I have yet to see an argument regarding aluminum that is convincing
one way or the other, but I have not used it for cook wear for years.
