Angel Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I remember skimming the plastic threads awhile back. I even remember writing down the numbers of the good plastics. Here's my question, since I wasn't paying attention. Is the bad plastic bad for you physically or just bad for the environment. Thanks!

Mom2GirlsTX Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Bad plastic is bad for you and bad for the environment. The plastic leaches harmful and toxic chemicals into your body that stays there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrrl Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Bad for you- the chemicals leached into the body have been proven to cause certain cancers (all I can remember off hand is breast and maybe prostate?) and also causes reproductive issues (fetal abnormalities).
