I know, it’s in fruit flies. Nonetheless, the health effects from toxins in plastics is well known at this point. Dr. Laurie Mischley did a study a few years ago showing faster progression in PD patients who drink from plastic bottles. Enough for me. I don’t let plastic near what I eat and drink,

I know it's being debated. France has banned it, I believe. Considering the waste problem with plastics and BPA's questionable safety as well as that of other plastics components, I prefer to stay away from plastics altogether, or at least, as much as possible.

BPA is also a greater problem register receipts, I work retail and now wear nitrile gloves to handle them. A Dr I follow said BPA is one of the toxins that messes up the alpha synuclein.
