Thanks for the information, I too am somewhat paranoid about plastics and chemicals leaching into my food/drink.

Yeah

Maybe switching most of the transportation to steel tires on steel roads would help with this.

Do PVC and PEX pipes/multiple use plastic containers (like the Brita pitcher) actually release microplastics? I’m aware of evidence that PEX pipes leach chemicals (also very bad), but I can’t find anything showing they increase microplastics.
