Bart,
Can you trust the science? I wonder if they(the scientists conducting the studies) were part of the teflon industry. Either way, becoming paranoid won't help anyone. I now scrub my teflon pans with a wire scourer, who needs the food to be non-stick anyway? And I, like Mark, occasionally use the microwave to defrost. But no more cooking my home made chips (fries) in the teflon. Can't use aluminium pans either. Just had another paranoid thought are the teflon pans aluminium? Is Stainless Steel safe?
In paranoi, Cass

Teflon was found, at very high temperatures to convert into a harmful 
substance. At normal cooking temperatures, it is completely 
non-reactive. Just don't forget it on the stove.
