[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our food quality control is much higher than it was. My four grandparents, born between 1912 and 1918 all lived into their mid 90s or later and that was without food quality control for most of their lives. I have two relatives that are 104 and 103 who are still living! I don’t think the microplastic from the water bottle is enough to affect my health. [/quote]

I have longevity in my family too, but you are totally misinterpreting the data here.  Those relatives of yours who are 103 and 104 were NOT exposed to plastics in their youth.  They probably had extremely minimal plastics exposure until their middle age.  And, importantly, they had ZERO exposure to microplastics in utero.  The recent research shows that plastics exposure in utero is really damaging to the endocrine system, and that exposure at young ages has a lot of impact  on inflammatory and other responses - basically we are sowing hte seeds for later cancer and other issues with nicroplastic and nanoplastic exposures at a young age.  So it's people born after 1970 or so that are really impacted.  And we are definitely seeing increased early cancer rates in that cohort (and possibly other problems like increased fertility problems, etc., although I think it's hard to get comparative data on that because there are so many other things that affect reproduction).
