Are You Ingesting Plastics Without Knowing it?

Do you use the microwave to reheat food and use a plastic container to do so? Do you buy coffee from a vendor and take it away in a cardboard or plastic container? Do you order food that is delivered to you in a plastic container? Polyethylene was long considered one of the more harmless plastics. It appears now that diet and plastic exposure may compound each other's effect on liver health.

Plastic was such a wonder product when it first came out.
