It seems like teflex sheets would be just as off limits as teflon pans due to toxicity. Is there a good alternative? Plain old parchment paper from the health food store maybe?

What are teflex sheets? What do you do with them?

Yes, that's what I use, parchment paper. I've always been afraid of more plastic in the dehydrator than need be esp. what touches the food. I didn't know about the metal sausage maker before getting the Excalibur but, believe me, when I can afford to, I'll be getting that one to replace the Excalibur. I really do not trust plastic! <g>

Ah....

The teflex and teflon sheets for the Excalibur
dehydrator are safe to use. The PFOA chemical
only becomes dangerous when exposed to high
temperatures, such as on a frying pan. The low
temperatures of the dehydrator will not cause
a problem.

Natural Cellular Defense removes the teflon PFOA
chemicals from our body.

Dr. Gabriel Cousens writes about testing people for
PFOA before and after using Natural Cellular Defense.


"Thirty-two people were tested for Teflon and
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the carcinogenic
element of teflon. Teflon was found in the livers
of 27 people, the breasts of 25 people, and the
brains of 28 people.

All but two people became teflon-free after one week.
Only one person had Teflon remaining in the breast,
and one person had Teflon remaining in the brain.

In the same 32 people, initially PFOA was found in the
liver of 28 people, the breast of 29 people, and the
brain of 28 people. After one week, all people became
PFOA-free except for one person having PFOA remaining
in the breast and brain."

ok-i'm wanting parchment paper...where does a person get this stuff?taylor

i posted this in the bread thread

[www.ifyoucare.com]

i just wouldn't use teflex myself, no matter how safe they say it is.

coco,

Not sure if that parchment paper is any better since it is "silicone" treated. Didn't they ban silicon breast implants in women and now just re-introduced it to the market?

Hmm. There doesn't seem to be a better choice. Therese

write to the company and ask. for cooking, silicon may very well be inert. silicon boobies are not the same thing at all.
