That doesn't intuitively make sense to me. I'd say for 90% of the packaging of various products I consume, the plastic has been wrapped around the product for a very short time. I imagine consuming something that has involved multiple steps of digestion of plastics is probably not the same. It's a bit like comparing water that I put in plastic container a few days ago to water that's been bottled and sitting there for weeks or months. I'm not saying there's a difference there, just that at least intuitively it seems that way to me. so a source for such a claim is pretty crucial.
