A short YouTube clip by Dr. Diane Mueller describing how plastic chemicals can leach into bottled water when bottles get hot (e.g., sitting on a truck), and noting research associations between those plastic chemicals and anxiety. The speaker highlights that these chemicals can affect cortisol — the body’s stress hormone — explaining cortisol rises with higher toxic load because toxins act as physiological stressors, and noting cortisol also serves anti-inflammatory functions.
A grocery store. Well, imagine those plastic water bottles have sat on a truck for a long period of time. That means that they've likely gotten hot, and that heat combined with the plastic will actually drive those plastic chemicals into the water more. And like I said, they are associated with things like anxiety. Another link that is really, really important in this conversation is the result of these types of chemicals on things like cortisol. So cortisol is a stress hormone, and cortisol as a stress hormone is something that we will secrete oftentimes when we have a higher toxic load. We do this because toxins are a stress on the body and because cortisol not only just is a stress hormone, it also is our body's natural anti inflammatory. So when we make cortisol, the that actually helps to give some of these anti inflammatory.
