In this segment, Dr. Isaac Eliaz exposes the growing dangers of plastic packaging. Each year in the United States, nearly 90 million plastic bottles are purchased, burdening both the environment and your health. Certain chemicals contained in these plastic containers—including bisphenol-A (BPA) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)—act as xenoestrogens, or substances that mimic estrogen in the body. They seep into your beverages during normal use, and are especially potent at high temperatures. These substances can disrupt crucial antioxidant and DNA activity, as well as interrupt the normal functioning of the endocrine system. This influence has dangerous consequences, ultimately heightening the risk of cancer in adults, and contributing to developmental problems in infants and young children. To minimize damage to both the planet and your health, you should switch to glass or stainless steel bottles and containers, which can be safely re-used by everyone in the family.

  • But isn't stainless steel bad for u too? I thought that metals were bad and causes metals to build up in ur body?

  • @sweething319 Stainless steel in this case is not considered toxic, at least when compared with the toxicity of plastic bottles.

  • Bottles should be made of glass , glass banks every 200 yards, simple.

  • but the glas bottle that you are using in the video has a plastic lid!!!! I wouldnt recomend that either. try to find glas bottles with a metal lid.

  • so we shouldn't have plastic battles, but have glass and stainless steel battles so we can use them over and over again. NICE!

  • look just here at the small display of battles we have right here. so what does drinking from these battles do to us and what does it do to our health. First, lets talk about plastic battles in our life :)

  • plastic battles?

  • Thank you for this very good statement !! But I'm concerned about the water supply system... I think that most of the pipes in the supply system a made of plastic, causing the water be contaminated with toxic substances like BPA etc. or even worse lead pipes... right ? Now I'm starting to be more and more concerned....

  • PET bottles are recyclable no?
