Scientists at Goethe University in Frankfurt found that estrogenic compounds leach from PET plastic into the water.
It now appears possible that some as-yet unidentified chemicals in these plastics have the potential to interfere with estrogen and other reproductive hormones, just as BPA and phthalates do.
Excerpt from an article at abc dot net dot au: “What we found was really surprising to us,” says Wagner. “If you drink water from plastic bottles, you have a high probability of drinking estrogenic compounds.”
The study adds to growing concerns about products that span the plastic spectrum, says Shanna Swan, an epidemiologist at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in New York.”
Please do your best to avoid plastic when reasonably possible. All plastics leach.
