Plastic Containers and Reusable Food Pouches: Plastic is Everywhere

So, everybody, one article leads to another. I'm currently down one of my rabbit holes where I find one thing and go to another. And so I'm sharing that with you. Plastics are kind of sort of everywhere. They're ubiquitous and they're hard to escape, and yet they stay in our bodies for a long time. This interesting article actually talked about the idea of when you cook food in pouches, cooking them in microwaves, heat things in pouches, how much of the micro particulates of plastic, whether micro particulates or nanoparticulates, actually get in your food? So there is a difference on how you heat it, the kind of container you use. But the basic gist, if you want to look at this article, you can look it up, is that cooking in plastic, heating in plastic, even storing at room temperature in plastics, will get certain amounts of micro particles in your food, which of course get in your body. Now, some people will argue that you actually can poop them out, but the problem is sometimes surgeons have actually weird, interesting biopsy studies looking at heart surgeons, and they actually find these micro particulates in people's heart tissue.
