Two simple things that you can do are to (a) don’t wash plastics in the dishwasher and (2) don’t microwave stuff in plastic containers. This last will require taking stuff out of the disposable container that many frozen meals come in to cook it. Some brands have a cardboard/waxpaper tray instead of a plastic one although there might be identical looking packaging that has different internals based on the store (I remember being surprised to discover that a frozen meal I bought at Whole Foods had the cardboard bowl while the same meal from a regular supermarket had a plastic bowl).
- mleonhard 4y agoThe cardboard bowl from Whole Foods is likely water-proofed with PFAS. People with PFAS in their blood tend to be overweight or underweight. The body eliminates PFAS very ver slowly. There was a recent study that showed that replacing a person's blood plasma was an effective way to remove PFAS. Keeping it out of the blood seems to be much harder.
