Source? I can't find an article linking PTFE with a metabolic change.

It was in a magazine my mom got. I think it came from aarp.

So all we have is an unsourced entry in a list based article in a unnamed magazine?

I hope I'm not alone in having an issue with the statement then.

I'm sorry that I'm going to sound like a snob. If people claim to have health related information, I take it seriously. When I said I couldn't find an article describing the correlation, what I meant was that I couldn't find an article on pubmed. I went looking for abstracts for articles in peer reviewed medical journals, not pop culture entertainment in "octogenarians' quarterly".
