    No, endocrine disrupting chemicals - which include pesticides, bisphenols, and phthalates.

      I stand corrected, my guess was wrong!

      It’s very frustrating, feels like as end-users & citizens we have no control over our exposure to these chemicals.

        We don’t. And bisphenols are in a TON of plastic (including the plastic food and drink comes in and is kept in) which lower testosterone and raise estrogen levels.

          Funny you should say that… I bought a bottle of water on the way up to my dads (usually try to avoid doing that but was stuck on a very hot train for several hours longer than intended). I’ve been filling it with tap water to take on walks, today I noticed it was tasting quite ‘plastic-y’ which I found quite disturbing so chucked it in the recycling. Your comment has reminded me to invest in a metal-lined reusable bottle, cheers.
