US study highlights high levels of plastic compound in humans

This is an interesting article that brings to light a relatively important but overlooked aspect of health. Many practitioners urge their patients not to use plastic containers and definitely avoid heating anything in plastic containers due to the absorption of the plastics from the container. This absorption is confirmed in this study; with levels showing up in the blood and urine. These plastics are known to have an effect on human health; most notably on hormone levels. Some act as xenoestrogens and are believed to be a contributor to acceleration of puberty in females.
