It's not about teflon, but the chemicals used to attach this (or any other) extremely non-sticky plastic to a pan.
Imagine the kind of chemistry needed to make a thing that a cooked egg slides off on it's own stick to a metal surface in high temperatures.
Teflon is otherwise inert and shouldn't have health implications on it's own (that we know of).

Obviously I'll still avoid ingesting any more plastic myself, as much as I can help it. Not suggesting anyone chews on PTFE tubes.

No, it's about the Teflon too. Teflon becomes chemically unstable around 400-500F, temperatures well within the reach of a modern home oven or range, and releases polymer fumes that are damaging to your health.

Check out this amazing video all about Teflon. I know, nearly an hour long... Worth it!
