If You Own Any of These Plastic Bowls, Doctors Say You Need to Throw Them Away

While we all hear that this or that is bad for us, and the conflicting information can be frustrating to say the least, there is one thing that  doctorsand experts have consistently been warning us about, and that is the use of plastic containers.

We all want to do what is best for our health, and especially for the little ones in our families if we have children. However, it can be hard to keep up with all the newest information and warnings.

While plastic containers can be great for storing food, doctors say that there is a much better way to do it. New research tells us that we should never rely on plastic containers to put hot food in, or to heat up food in.

If you’ve ever heard about BPA, you’ve probably heard that it can be toxic. It is put in the plastic in containers to harden them, but is known to be detrimental to our health. 

The problem with BPA is that it can act as estrogen in the body and change the timing of puberty, decrease fertility, increase body fat, and affect the immune and nervous systems.

Phthalates are just as bad for your body and are also found in plastic. It is used to make plastic more flexible and can affect childhood obesity, affect male genital development, and contribute to cardiovascular disease.

We used to think that BPA was only released into our food when we cooked our food in these plastic containers in the microwave, but studies show there are more dangers to these chemicals than we think.
