Plastic bottles — Hormones in PET bottles are released into the water and make you female.
Disposable PET bottles also release acetaldehyde into the water, a substance considered carcinogenic and liver-damaging.
And then there are the so-called plasticizers. The most prominent candidate for such plasticizers is the chemical compound bisphenol A.
The absorption of plasticizers inevitably begins with baby food from the plastic bottle.
Gigantic quantities of plastic bottles are accumulating worldwide, because mineral water has generally not been offered in deposit-returnable glass bottles for many years, but is mainly bottled in PET plastic bottles.
PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, which is made from petroleum. One liter of petroleum is processed to produce around 12 PET beverage bottles.
By now, every consumer should be turning to safer glass bottles, but instead, sales of PET plastic bottles are steadily increasing year after year.
