I know that. But don't you think people need to know that Teflon outgasses poison at high temps so they can be smart and choose something better?
Not if the Teflon object will never go above the temperature at which it produces toxins. Teflon cookware has been around for a long time. I think Teflon drip tips are fine.

Teflon has been around a long time but more people are asthmatic now than ever before and the environment is cleaner than in the last 600 years thanks to people being responsible toward the environment. Another factor to consider is what are the digestive enzymes in saliva doing to the Teflon in your mouth.

In the immortal words of Daffy Duck " Not this little black duck! "

Making a better choice for glass, Silicone, Stainless, Annodized aluminum, Delrin, etc is always better than a known carcinogen.

Just going to leave this here.
Teflon and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)
