And we do know that BPA, phthalates and PFAs can mimic human hormones and exposure to these has been shown to increase the risk of cancer, thyroid problems, autoimmune conditions, fertility issues.

I was actually reading an interview with Tracy Woodruff.

She's a microplastic researcher and she said that the one thing that she never does is microwave anything plastic as heat makes the plastic release its harmful chemicals like BPA.

So instead she'll microwave in ceramic or glass.

Non-optimal.

This is Tracey Woodruff.

She's an epidemiologist at Stanford.

I work on toxic chemicals and pollution.

Does the plastic in us poison us? It sounds like we now have diametrically opposite answers.

Toxicologist Ian Mudway can't prove harm in the amount most of us breathe.

Hazardous chemicals investigator Tracey Woodruff sees it as more likely than not.

And she's changed her own lifestyle because of it.
