Microplastics are terrifying and all that, but I’m sort of more worried about plasticisers like BPA, BPF, BPS and the rest of the alphabet of BP-whatever’s that was created and brought into use after the dangers of BPA were realized.
Just a heads up - if something plastic says it’s BPA-free, it probably uses a different bisphenol compound that is less studied than BPA. And is likely as toxic (or even more toxic)!
But nobody ever talks about those, because science words.
I'm for sure getting a rare form of cancer then. Nalgene water bottles in the bush working all day every day. Thankfully I'm out of it now
