Deep dives
The Impact of Plastics on Health
Plastics contain harmful compounds known as endocrine disruptors, which mimic hormones in the body and can lead to serious health issues. Bisphenols, including BPA, are common in many plastic products and have been associated with decreases in fertility and increases in various health conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and depression. Even substitutes like bisphenol S and Z, introduced as safer alternatives, may not significantly reduce health risks. The pervasive presence of these substances in food containers, water bottles, and packaging materials underscores the need for individuals to be cautious about their exposure and consider alternatives.
