Teflon (PTFE) is chemically stable and is generally considered harmless to our health under normal conditions. The danger comes from PFAS, a large family of forever chemicals that includes substances historically used in the manufacture of Teflon. These chemicals have contaminated the environment and water supplies all over the planet. Although some of these chemicals exist in our water at levels of parts per trillion, they can accumulate in the body at levels of parts per billion and are associated with many health issues.
At home, I drink only purified bottled water from a brand that publishes its contaminant levels online.
The FDA has plans to regulate these chemicals in water by 2030.
