Why all the recent fuss about ingesting PFAS and “forever chemicals” then? I thought Teflon is a kind of PFAS?

PFAS afaik are used in the process of making teflon pans, namely in getting the teflon to stay attached to the pan's metal itself.
Heavy metals and other toxins bind to inert materials and enter/stay in the body when introduced by PFAS and microplastics
