yah I always wondered about that, all this BPA free stuff always made we ponder "well what replaced the BPA and do we know anything about it?" Seems like it would have served some role and some substitute would have to have been found otherwise it would have been a useless functionless addition to begin with and therefore an extraneous cost.
- nonethewiser 4y agoIt’s exactly like it says. BPA free. Carcinogen free? Who knows!
- red-iron-pine 4y agohey now, I can cut out tumors, I can't cut out endocrine disruptions
- xeromal 4y agoI made the move to using glass, ceramic, metals, and cast iron for most of my daily uses regarding food and beverage.
- simmerup 4y agoSame here. I just wish I could convince my parents too as well. They're still using beat up 20 year old tupperware
- yamtaddle 4y agoPlastic food storage bins are sooooo much nicer. And wildly cheaper. And all the glass alternatives I've seen/owned had plastic lids anyway, so, I guess just be very careful not to let it touch food and hope that's OK? Plus the risk of plasticizers is nebulous and invisible, so, easy to disregard. Not saying glass isn't better, just... I definitely get it.

- jxramos 4y agoI love glass and use a lot at home, but one of its huge drawbacks is that its incredibly heavy and obviously breakable. Makes takin glass stuff on the road challenging. I wonder if someone could make reinforced glass drinking wares much like you see with security windows, eg https://www.grainger.com/product/45AE15 https://www.grainger.com/product/45AE15
- Traubenfuchs 4y agoThis is not meant in a mean way, but ChatGPT will give you super easy to understand answers for those questions: What is BPA for in plastic? What are the alternatives to BPA in plastic? The answers are too long to post.
