Scientists just figured out how many chemicals enter our bodies from food packaging
More than 3,000 chemicals from food packaging have infiltrated our bodies, a new study has found.
A new study details the chemicals finding their way into human bodies from contact with food.
wow. the fact that they're finding these chemicals in Placental and Amniotic fluid is nuts
And then the chemicals themselves are just... a list of some very nasty things
I'm reminded of the Propublica article that blew the lid off the fact that 3M's PFAS accumulates in our tissues and causes cancer.
At the time, Johnson said, he didn’t think PFOS caused significant health problems. Still, he told me, “it was obviously bad,” because man-made compounds from household products didn’t belong in the human body. He said that he argued against using fluorochemicals in toothpaste and diapers. (...) “These idiots were already putting it in food packaging,” he said.
Is it 7?
Kinda close. I'd give them a point.
This is great information. And what can I do about it?
Are you rich enough to only use glass containers and do all of your food shopping locally at farmers’ markets? Because if not… stop drinking beverages out of plastic bottles. I’m in the same boat.
Started using factor meals, pre-cooked meals that you reheat in the microwave/oven in their plastic containers. I guess I will start transferring the food into something else to reheat it 😬
The packaging (and small menu) is why I quit using them.
They already heated it for you(kills bacteria) before shipping
