I keep reading to ward off plastic containers, bottles, packaging, cutlery, and to avoid seafood as it has quite some plastic in it.
All these mainstream articles keep repeating the same mantra, that plastics are endocrine disruptors and that they act as estrogens in the body.
However I never found any study talking about the magnitude of this problem (does it increase estro by 0.2%? 2%? 20%?)
As we now know, the soy phytoestrogenissue was way overblown as phytoestrogens only have 1/1000th of the potency of actual estrogens.
Is it the same for plastic, and are we worrying for nothing?
