is it true that worn off non stick pan can cause cancer?

Answer 1

I heard so.

Any oil/fat when it is heated over and again for repeated times will have some bad compounds surely, and those must be carcinogenic (cancer causing), and that is what researchers say I suppose; and here too your stick pan, if sticky with sooth or black crust, does as much damage when fresh what you call paste of dough is spread on it, both the pan cake and our health will be damaged by the chemicals with which such stick pan is painted with due to wear and tear, and it I mean the stick pan gets more or less sticky, and ultimately we eat the remnants of a sticky paint in the final analysis, and my answer in that vein would be, it is better to get rid off that stick pan, as why should we buy a cancer with it. Sorry if I have turned little bit poetic in my reply.

Answer 2

i don't know if it causes cancer but i do know that if it is made of teflon you shouldn't use it ant more. further more i have heard that they found teflon in the blood of canadian children so i wouldn't want to take the chance. i no longer use teflon pots and pans, i have gone to stainless steel.

Answer 3

These days it seems as if everything can cause cancer! Just live life as you want it because if you won't die of cancer you'll still die of somethingelse. Dont worry too much my friend !
