[00:01] teflon pan and ate some of that coating, what would happen?  Well, if you saw that video of cows drinking water near a teflon factory and getting really sick, if you ate a flake of teflon, that wouldn't really happen.  Teflon is a long
[00:14] chain of carbon atoms surrounded by florine atoms.  And these carbon florine bonds are some of the strongest single bonds in organic chemistry, which means to react with anything.  You can't dissolve it with most acids.  It's very
[00:27] food when cooking, which is why it's used on non-stick pans.  For that same your body.  So, if you eat it, it will likely pass through.  But, there are three other problems with non-stick pans.  First, if you overheat them to
[00:41] more than 300° C, the coating can start to release fumes, and breathing them in could give you the so-called Teflon flu. Symptoms include things like fevers, chills, and chest tightness, but they usually pass within 48 hours.  The second
[00:54] manufacturers need to use other chemicals which are much more dangerous than Teflon.  And they're often the ones that leak from factories.  They sneak blood.  And they've been linked with all sorts of health issues.  That's likely
[01:08] how those cows got sick.  They're called forever chemicals or PAS.  So, could tiny amounts of these chemicals make it onto your pan?  Well, they shouldn't, but the actually isn't great, which is problem number three.  The PAS field is very
[01:24] young and very underresarched in some parts.  Например, появляются новые исследования тефлона как микропластика на здоровье, и некоторые из них как мы думали, в то время как другие исследования не показывают никаких неблагоприятных последствий для здоровья.  If
