It's seems very plausible that they have similar negative health effects, but there's no regulation (or even disclosure, in most cases) of which plasticizers are being used. https://www.science.org/content/article/bpa-substitutes-may-be-just-bad-popular-consumer-plastic https://www.science.org/content/article/bpa-substitutes-may-...
