Teflon inside

A DuPont chemical used to make Teflon has apparently made it into the bloodstream of up to 96% of the people in the US:

"DuPont has said it does not know why the chemical has become so pervasive, acknowledging C-8 has been found in the blood of the general population at a level five times the maximum the company strives to achieve in the air and water around its factories where C-8 is made or used. DuPont said, however, the C-8 levels pose no threat."
