        Ah yes, BPA, which I had already addressed.

        For example, bisphenol A (BPA), a plasticizer used for the synthesis of phenol resins, polyacrylates, polyesters, epoxy resins, and polycarbonate plastics, is used for the production of drink and food packaging, and in case of high temperature exposure or pH variation (e.g., washing in washing machines, food heating into the microwave, contact with acid foods) leaches into wastewater, contaminates foods and beverages, thus representing both ecotoxicological and health risks

        Other than BPA, there is still not much evidence regarding negative health effects. BPA is in the process of being banned even in many US states, and many companies have already moved away from it because of these health effects. Other plastics seem not to have the same effect.

              Well, looking up something on Google is very easy. I know when I want to know something, I don’t expect a stranger to spoon feed me information that takes a few seconds to pull up.

              If you disagree with a person’s point, you’re more than welcome to refute it with your own evidence.

                The person I was responding to was saying “we have studies stating that…” but they failed to link the studies. That’s not my fucking problem.

                  It’s your problem if you want that information. This isn’t a formal debate, so no one is under any onus to provide sources for their arguments.

                    If the other user doesn’t want to provide sources, I won’t really be convinced. That’s me giving them a chance to back up what they were saying, which someone else did. You can stop policing what people say on here now, thanks.
