Non-stick pans are coated in Teflon, the same material used for many implants thanks to its inertness in the body. Soybeans have been cultivated since as early as 7000 BCE and been a staple crop for many civilizations for millennia. These are unlikely to have any unexpected or negative effects.


Yes, Teflon is completely harmless, especially in non-stick cookware. To prove this, I routinely heat up my hernia-repair implants to several hundred degrees Fahrenheit, and I've suffered no ill effects whatsoever.
