I have no doubt in my mind that the majority of endocrine disorders we are dealing with today are a direct result of plastics in the food chain.

Since there is absolutely no corroborating evidence of that from any credible scientific studies, there is no doubt in my mind that you have an irrational fear of plastic products. Plastics make up a myriad of different compounds which often have very little chemical relationship to one another. Some plastics are even completely natural. Remember the wrappers that dissolve in your mouth on rice candies? Maybe you should do a little research to help alleviate your fears.

Haha... Yes, there are no studies showing anything... If you believe that you are a beyond naive.

Why do you think BPA is now being avoided like the plague?? Simple its been proven to interact with hormonal receptors.. and its been replaced with a new molecule that doesn’t have any real reasearch on its safety as well.

If you believe no studies have shown plastics have negative impact on humans (and other animals) once ingested, you are beyond ignorant. Go get yourself updated on what the science actually has shown. Public was told for years Lead in everything was safe.. and that cigarette smoking was not addictive... Stop being a fool.

Plastics are in your food, and far more than you know, and the ways they interact with human systems is largely no understood. Just like industrial chemicals in the 50s and 60s and 70s... no one bothered to see what if any impact on humans and other animals might have, so they were released and manufactured wholesale, only to later discover the impacts of PCB’s, Phosphates, CFC, etc...

If you truly believe that all the man made plastics manufactured have been fully studied and their long term impact, particularly once in the food chain, are understood, you are just fooling yourself.

I am NOT anti plastic, plastics are wonderful materials, and they allow a lot of modern life to be possible, but this idea that they have no negative impacts, particularly once injested is just flat out WRONG, or that the full impact of these molecules have on living systems is fully understood is also WOEFULLY WRONG.

The true impact of them will come to light in the coming decades, and the idea that we are intentionally packaging our food in them will become as insane to future generations as having cocaine in soda pop is to folks today.
