Where did you read this? What I’ve read has said the opposite. Here’s one result for “teflon flakes”
When cooking, flakes of Teflon can break off into food. If these flakes are ingested, it is considered non-toxic.
If metal utensils are used with Teflon coated cookware, small pieces of Teflon can break off and get into the food. This is considered non-toxic. When swallowed, these pieces will travel through the intestines and come out in the stool intact without causing harm to the body.
I highly suggest watching the movie Dark Waters starring Mark Ruffalo. It covers the true story about a 30 year legal battle to hold DuPont liable for knowingly poisoning their factory workers and 99% of all life on planet earth with PFAS. After losing that court battle they stopped selling their original Teflon pans and started selling a new formulation which they claim is safe. But this is the same company that knowingly sold poison for half a century, bribed government regulatory officers to lie, bought politicians, and buried massive amounts of evidence against them. It’s your choice if you believe them or not.
It isn’t entirely clear if the release of microplastics is dangerous, and researchers are calling for more studies into the possible impact of microplastic contamination during cooking.
It’s talking about microplastic and they’re not even sure if it is dangerous.
It’s not my word on it, but okay. The original DuPont factory workers trusted the studies and the EPA too. But it’s your decision to make. Good luck. At least watch the movie, or research the issue.
When the Teflon gets scratched then it starts leeching toxins into your food.

I just really wanted to a source for your claim that scratching the surface causes it to “leech toxins into your body”.

Not that that’s a great article, but it also says

Like I said, it’s up to you if you want to trust the company that knowingly poisoned 99% of all life on planet earth or not.
I’m trusting the studies instead of trusting your word on it. That’s the case here.
