While the use of recycled plastics is normally considered a noble endeavor, a new study says it's time to think twice. In an analysis of the material from more than 10 different countries, hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals were uncovered.

Because of the range of compounds found, the researchers say that they believe recycled plastics are unfit for most uses and that they don’t contribute to a circular material lifecycle.

        Right, I jiat remember reading that the “burning” feeling when exerting myself is from lactic acid. It would be silly to try and get enough of it from, say, making a cow work out.
