While the end of your comment could be seen as 'whatabout-ism', you are right that in simply over cooking something or just adding to much salts/sugars to some foods would probably be a bigger issue.
- whatshisface 3y agoOne wonders why they go to all the trouble of these expensive scientific studies when they could just let people on HN make up answers.
- zarzavat 3y agoSalt and sugars are natural parts of our environment and salt is actually a necessary part of our diet. We have organs evolved explicitly for the purpose of maintaining homeostasis of salt and sugar, namely our kidneys and pancreas. For plastics we have no evolved tolerance.

It forms a plastic. We've been living and eating alongside that type of plastic since we learned to cook food as a species.
