Thank you for the paper! I didn't even think of the cap lol.It's actually the friction of the opening and closing of the plastic lid that releases microplastics into the drink. Squeezing the bottles isn't as bad.
Agreed. But the government in the USA is too dense and focused on money to figure that one out. At least the EU has some of this stuff figured out.Of course you can do something. Harmful food additives can be banned, fast food can be regulated, smoking can be discouraged.
I agree. But we need a regular forum where it is just the facts, a separate subforum for just news and science.
And who gets to decide what "just the facts" are?I agree. But we need a regular forum where it is just the facts, a separate subforum for just news and science.
Yes Sir, European laws are superior for their people's health. I wasn't bashing walmart per se but their bottled water because the container is paper thin. I catch myself squeezing the bottle and I know microplastics fly into my water every time I squeeze that bottle. Maybe I need to find a harder plastic bottle of water.
According to the WHO, microplastics are a low health concern. I think probably because humans can't digest plastic, they just pass through your system.Maybe you can forget bottled water, and buy a reusable metal water bottle instead, though a lot are cheap Chinesium that dent easily.

I don't know.....the WHO document is from 2019 and mentions:
The data on the occurrence of microplastics in drinking-water are limited at present, with few fully reliable studies using different methods and tools to sample and analyse microplastic particles.
What does the research of the last 5 years suggest?
Well, we both agree on the water issue.And who gets to decide what "just the facts" are?
You're already acting like some sort of impartial arbiter of truth by posting longform summaries of all articles. Now you want to have those longform summaries stand uncontested?
The Ministry of Truth?And who gets to decide what "just the facts" are?
I’d settle for the banning of prescription medicines from television.Of course you can do something. Harmful food additives can be banned, fast food can be regulated, smoking can be discouraged.
