Toxics in Plastic– From Consumer Reports

Plastics contain a variety of harmful chemicals that can leach into food and beverages, posing significant health risks. These chemicals include bisphenols, phthalates, carcinogens, neurotoxic chemicals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Exposure to these substances can lead to a range of health issues, including neurodevelopmental problems, metabolic disorders, reproductive issues, and even cancer. The presence of microplastics in the environment and human bodies further complicates the health risks associated with plastics.
