BPA/BPB in plastics is another source. Unfortunately, this one is basically unavoidable since even if one doesn't own any of those plastics at home, there's bound to be some food product that uses a plastic container. Even more so, we don't know anything about how long it takes to leach into the food, what plastics do/don't contain it, stuff like that.
Plastics should just be banned from touching food entirely.
- pvarangot 5y agoI think it really depends on the food. Like processed or skinned meat absorbs more than seeds or dry food, frozen absorbs less, or something like that. I haven't read about it for a while but that's what I remember was kind of like the consensus about where to start looking into if it's feasible to ban BPA.
- pxeboot 5y agoIf you have running water in your home, every drop likely flows through hundreds of feet to miles of plastic pipe before you drink it. Even if you have a private well and copper plumbing, your pump and other components almost always contain plastic parts that make contact with the water.
