Operator at a plastics factory here. Most containers that say they are microwave safe should also say BPA free. We donā€™t use BPAs in our plastics but that being said Iā€™m pretty sure my body is 50% microplastics now and Iā€™m probably not long for this world. Use glass or ceramics.

Metal water bottle and glass cookware/storage containers will reduce this exposure significantly. I worked in a PVC plant as a chemist and sheā€™s right. Plasticizers are not bound chemically to the PVC. Theyā€™re additives that specifically donā€™t bind to the polymers, so that the product is pliable and can be formed in different ways. Phthalates are often used as plasticizers, and theyā€™re the suspected culprit for the decreased testosterone were seeing in the population today. But as she says, theyā€™re not chemically bound, so they can and do leech out into your food and the environment. DIDP and DOP are 2 plasticizers we used in our analyses, which the industry uses in its end products.

Needless to say, Iā€™m proud to be out of that industry.

Context is important. What are the figures? How much BPA is leaked from a plastic container in a typical cooking cycle? How much breaks down into less harmful compounds? How much is absorbed by the food and by the body? What are considered dangerous levels? How quickly does the body process it vs how long it takes to absorb?

There must be some truth to it as plastic container manufacturers are all doing BPA free products now, but how much is just scaremongering?

So glad Im covering my food with a plastic lid that prevents splashing the whole microwave with tomato sauce but poisons my food at the same time.

The car example is a good one...people forget that in a hot car the plastics in the car off gas. Open your windows when you get in a hot car.

Thank you, Mom! Thought you were crazy for all your rules 20 years ago. Turns out you were right about almost all of it.

I stopped heating up plastic in the microwave quite a while ago, but I didn't even think about my water bottle in the car!

Fat dissolves chemicals from plastic even when not heated. Sausage, ham, cheese packed in plasticā€¦ all comes with an extra dose of chemicals.

Thank god my father is an engineer that worked in food packaging. He would never ever let us microwave anything plastic. He made sure to stock up our house with ceramics and microwaveable glassware

Yard sales and thrift stores are excellent sources of vintage PYREX glass storage containers. Old Corning Ware is good too.

ā€œPeel back lid, stir and replace lid. Cook for additional 3 minutes.ā€

Those words have been printed in more things that I have consumed, than I could ever quantify. I love learning. Itā€™s fine, I like this. This is fun šŸ˜

my mom had to write a report back in the 80's or 90's about plastics and Styrofoam in the microwave for the canadian health department....nothing much became of it as the government did not warn consumers....but my family knew about it all along.

I did not think about the water bottle in the car. I will admit that but itā€™s kind of funny. I donā€™t use my microwave. I hadnā€™t had one since I moved out for college and the only reason I have one now is that my husband wanted one. I went to culinary school. I donā€™t make as much as a lot of professionals but Iā€™ve always cooked from scratch and just used left overs in another dish. Now I garden so I can even see what a lot of our daily produce is exposed to.
I get really self conscious about being oblivious to a lot of things out there but farm to table is something Iā€™ve studied and lived by for 15 years. Iā€™m kind of proud of that.

I've eliminated plastic from my house about 6 months ago. Best decision. The water bottles i buy at Walmart i run through a filter and store them in mason jars, which i drink my water from. Food storage containers I've upgraded to all glass pryrex. Ceramic and glass plates only. No more cheap 50 cent Walmart plastic plates and no nonstick pans.

All bottled water is transported in a regular trailer, not a refrigerated refer container. That means the bottle water has already been in a hot environment, so you're purchasing contaminated water or whatever drink is purchased in a plastic bottle.
