One reason to use well known sites for such links at least for me is that I’m not familiar with the field and can’t for myself review how significant or well done the study is and can’t parse it that well. So I kinda have to outsource that and hope the more repubtable sites have some knowledge about what they’re reporting.
I know CNN isn’t great but it’s well known and at least somewhat reputable, which makes me think the study might have something going for it. With sites I haven’t heard of that’s more difficult for me to gauge.
What sort of effect? From what I found they really didn’t say, they said it (the plastic in your body) might have some adverse effect but didn’t really know what. And more important than that, are the plastic water bottles how big of a source of the plastic compared to others.
I’m sure they do but I was just wondering if it’s amounts that matter and how big of a source a plastic water bottle is compared to other sources. Advice seems to be to avoid plastic water bottles. I found this recent article that was interesting edition.cnn.com/2024/01/08/health/…/index.html
Seems like there’s a lot the scientists don’t know yet but they advice to try and lower the amount of plastic. A breakdown of sources of that plastic would be handy in knowing what to eliminate.
Would try. I’ve made the Swedish dish Flying Jacob (because it was so bizarre) and it was honestly great
Flying Jacob (Swedish: flygande Jacob/Jakob pronounced is a Swedish casserole composed of chicken, cream, chilli sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts and bacon. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.
Does using a plastic bottle for your water carry any sort of effect? I’m sure all the things stack up but I find it hard to believe that using a plastic water bottle instead of metal one really matters.
