Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Just thought I would pass this along... Jamie Plastic's Bad RapPlastic has many terrific uses, but as a food protector plastic should be used with caution. DEHA [di-(2-ethylhexyl)adipate], sometimes found in cling wrap, as well as other chemicals commonly found in plastic are potential endocrine disrupters, and can negatively influence hormonal activity. While studies are underway to determine the health risks associated with plastics, it is best to avoid buying foods that come in cling wrap (if you do, transfer them to a different storage container once you get home), and avoid contact between cling wrap and foods that you cover. Never microwave in plastic, and don't let cling wrap come in contact with food while it is being microwaved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
