An article reprinted from HealthDay about whether Teflon-coated cookware is hazardous to health, includes observations by George Corcoran, toxicologist and chairman of the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Wayne State . He is a member of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency advisory committee that issued a report earlier this month labeling one of the compounds in Teflon as a likely carcinogen. But he pointed out there is no need to panic. "Do I still use Teflon cookware, even though I've been on this panel for over a year and a half now?" he said. "The answer is yes."
