Yes, there are harmful effects of Teflon.
At high temperatures, cookware coated with Teflon and other non-stick surfaces can break apart and emit toxic particles and gases. The fumes can make people sick, while pet birds are even more sensitive. In cases of "Teflon toxicosis," as the bird poisonings are called, the lungs of exposed birds hemorrhage and fill with blood, leading to suffocation. DuPont studies show that the fumes can also sicken people, a condition called "polymer fume fever." The government has not assessed human health risks or the incidence of polymer fume fever from kitchen exposures to these particles and gases when pans are overheated.
Non-stick coatings can contain residues of PFOA (perfluorooctanoate), a chemical used to make Teflon and a breakdown product of stain- and grease-proof coatings on carpet, clothing and food packaging. PFOA is found in the bodies of nearly all Americans. It is a likely human carcinogen; it also has a variety of metabolic developmental, reproductive, endocrine, and neurobiological health effects. Many manufacturers of non-stick cookware have committed to eliminating PFOA residues from non-stick coatings. Available data suggest that non-stick pans are not a major source of PFOA in people's bodies.
Studies also show that most of the potential health risks from non-stick pans, such as polymer fume fever, come not from PFOA but from other particles and fumes that can come off the pan when it is overheated.

I stopped purchasing Teflon coated products a long time ago. I did read online that there could be harmful effects. Maybe you could give the pans to someone who does not have birds.
I did some research, and there do not appear to be any harmful effects of Super Beta Prostates. It is a natural supplemant that has shown either positive effects or no effects at all.
Absolutely, if the teflon is headed too high or scraps off of the pans it can be potentially harmful. It is especially harmful if it gets too hot and burn and is breathed in. I switched to all stainless steel. www.greenbabiesblog.org
By not burning any thing
yes
it can be harmful to have babies this way. It is still not determined if this is a safe way to have babies and if there are any long term effects.

Vapor cigarettes are too new to be aware of any harmful effects that they may have on people.
Disodium phosphate is used mainly as a food additive to stabilize food. Used as a food additive it is said not to have any harmful effects.
Ducks actually do not have any known harmful effects; however, environmental issues can have harmful effects on ducks and other birds. An oil spill is one example of how they can be harmed by changes in the environment.
the harmful and the beneficial effects of advertising?
Teflon is resistant to most liquids.
