The beautiful thing about Teflon is also its downfall. It's such a stable unreactive product that it never breaks down! Ever. Also the process of making it is pretty awful, too.

My understanding was Teflon didn't do anything bad to the body?

I think the molecular structure is very similar to a necessary molecule (fat or sth.?). So the PFAS get in the place a normal molecule should be but they do the job not as good. Something like that. Great MinuteEarth Video about PFAS (4') https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3aFzQdWQTg
