To be fair only like 0.1% (yes I made this number up) of all Fluoropolymers end up in frying pans.
Most of it is used in industry, building, medicine…

Well you can give mammals lead and they turn batshit crazy, everytime and in short periods of time.
If you give them plastic, some studies find some behavioral changes depending on what plastic, which particle sizes and how its administered, but to be honest it doesnt seem to play in the same league as lead at all.
Like in this study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7282048/ Table 1: Wistar rat, 10mg/kg oral 35 days, no alterations in behaviour.
Not saying there is no effect at all, there likely is, but here we have to look carefully for it, while with lead poisoning you could see and hear the “alterations in behaviour” from 100m away.
Reminds me of an article I read today: On german Autobahn there are cool signs here and there about the region e.g. beautiful landmarks. These signs used to cost 3000-4000€, but since Andreas Scheuer (think about him like a bitch for corporations) privatized the facility responsible for them, the cost has risen to 70000€ per sign and know it seems like they are getting abandoned.
