You are right it is much better, but it's not automatically helpful. Bottled beers have been shown to still have phthalates: https://www.mdpi.com/2311-5637/9/2/125#:~:text=Especially%20high%20concentrations%20of%20dibutyl,µg%2FL%20in%20sample%20C1 https://www.mdpi.com/2311-5637/9/2/125#:~:text=Especially%20.... >The lowest minimal total phthalates were found in glass bottles (7.07 µg/L), whereas the highest were determined to be in cans, at 101.60 µg/L. Even though they are significantly better than plastic and aluminum (lined with plastic) containers, they still contain phthalates. Also worth noting that the FDA has explicitly denied petitions to ban them in food: https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-and-gras-ingredients-information-consumers/phthalates-food-packaging-and-food-contact-applications#:~:text=On%20May%2019%2C%202022%2C%20the%20FDA%20denied%20this%20petition.,the%20approved%20food%20additive%20uses https://www.fda.gov/food/food-additives-and-gras-ingredients.... >On May 19, 2022, the FDA denied this petition. >the petition also did not demonstrate the proposed class of phthalates is no longer safe for the approved food additive uses. This despite a mountain of evidence, going back 10+ years, showing that phthalates are endocrine disrupting chemicals.
