Comment on The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners

Well, Teflon at least can’t be metabolized, it’s anyway better as other chem products added in US food to increase volumen and disguise the bad quality and which are really toxic. What killed me more is the scientist which waste 35 years of his life, monitoring the growing of his fingernails.

Teflon at least can’t be metabolized

Saying that with the confidence of a 1950’s marketing executive designing the new Micronite filter (made from asbestos) ads.

  Teflon has been used in stable medical implants for 50 years.

I less care about the effect on the body (idk if its good or bad) and more care about shitting out micro-plastics.

  Agree, but Teflon at least you can shit out, not so other plastics which are staying for ever and on top of that they accumulate in your body, causing several health issues. Teflon is inerte, it pass through your digestive track as is. Naturally is better to avoid it and use normal steel pans, if right handled, there isn’t the need of Teflon, if the pan is heated enough with some oil, nothing will stick in it, thanks Mr.Leydenfrost.

    Just because you shit it out, doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect you in any way while it’s inside your body.

    Could the same effect be achieved by just eating foods that are hard to digest, like sweetcorn. Would save the whole microplastic thing and give the fish some food.
