Big difference between glass and plastics. Glass is chemical inert while plastics degrades and leaks into everything. See the flavor of a plastic bottle that has been in your car for a while. Some plastics may even resemble stuff that is in your body. It's all processed dinosaur juice after all (actually trees, but whatever).
- onewheeltom 2y agoGlass shards can also be very sharp.
- FredPret 2y agoTrue but glass is very much "outside the body only". Don't want shards in your gut.
- pfdietz 2y ago> Glass is chemical inert Well, except for leaded glass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_glass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_glass "Several studies have demonstrated that serving food or drink in glassware containing lead oxide can cause lead to leach into the contents, even when the glassware has not been used for storage."

- semiquaver 2y agoGlass is not so harmless when you consume shards of it. Chemically inert things can damage the body by mechanical means (I’m a little surprised that this has to be said!)
