The invention of plastics may have made our lives immensely convenient. However, with the recent findings on the level of toxicity that they may give us, maybe we should just go green and ditch the whole plastic idea when it comes to the containers that we use for our food. The following article from ABC tells us why:
Now a one-of-a-kind study being done at the University of Utah zeroes in on some of those toxins and their affect on a woman’s reproductive system.
A lot has changed since the 50’s and 60’s. Plastic instead of glass, polluted water, pesticides and processed foods. Some of it may be harmful, some of it may be harmless, and hundreds of Utah women are willing to help find those answers.
First it was baby bottles now it’s water bottles and just about everything plastic.
Dr C. Matthew Petersen, the chair of the University of Utah’s Obstetrics and Gynecology department, says this study is just the beginning; others will likely follow that could eventually change the way we live.
“We’re recognizing that some of these chemicals in very low doses actually cause some problems that can result in endometriosis or could even result in other types of problems,” said Dr. C Matthew Petersen.
