The fact that something may be safe doesn’t mean I want it in my food. Insect parts are nontoxic and urine is sterile - I still don’t want to swallow them.

Urea is slightly toxic. Why would kidneys filter out something if it was perfectly good?
Anyhow, it seems the Germans asked to err on the side of caution when first learning that the plastic additives had some kind of biological action, and then proceeded to study the matter empirically to see if there truly would be a problem. That seems the wise thing to do.
And “pthalates” sounds like an ancient Egyptian cuss-word.
So don’t eat plastic bottles.
And, yet again, synergistic effects are ignored.
