A new study found that black plastic items found in home products could contain bromine, a toxic flame retardant, through recycled electronics. Dr. Leonardo Trasande, professor of pediatrics and population health at NYU Langone Health, joins CBS News to break it down.

Bromine is literally something they put in food. Why is it only a problem when it's not in Mountain Dew? Anyway I am agreeing with you. I think of my longevity and health every day and every new finding is another lifestyle change I have to do.

The problem is governments around the world allow for this crap to be manufactured. Plastic takeout containers or anything with a plastic coating should should never be allowed. Chinese takeout used to always be in the white cartons, now they are either in styrofoam plastic.

So basically, instead of bearing the cost of safe disposal as a toxic waste product the plastics are 'upcycled' into consumer products.

@oluomau.7489 День назад

It’s a horrible cycle. Plastic has always known to be toxic at all levels. We produce and consume more than can be reasonably burned so recycled plastic became another option. Unfortunately, the risk increases due to heat and malleability. It would be better to not even create the plastic, till then short term costs of cheap plastic are going to cost people’s health

Hmmm, not so sure... 😬You might want to research silicone limitations. General max temp for silicone cookware and bakeware is 428 degrees - check individual manufacturer specs. Also, silicone isn't safe for dishwasher high heat drying. I have some silicone ice cube trays - i.e. for large square cubes, still not recommended for dishwasher, and may pick up an off scent/odor if food/beverage is kept in tray for a while.

We, as consumers just blindly accept products sold to us. Trust in corporate products, marketing and regulatory agencies (that are overwhelmed by the number of new products and underfunded to handle the onslaught) is just given. Consumers are exhausted by corporate gaslighting. Thank you CBS for reporting on this AND for giving advice on how to avoid the chemicals/leeching. I’d add that wood utensils are also a safer alternative along with stainless steel. However - do not use stainless steel or any hard utensil on non-stick cookware. You’ll be eating those chemicals used in “non-stick.” Like he said, stainless steel & cast iron is the way. Learn how to make stainless steel non-stick. It’s easy! And right here on RU-vid.

@evonne315 18 часов назад

So, how do we dispose of the plastic cooking utensils? Throwing out in household trash to pile up in landfills is disturbing. Check with your municipal recycling service. Also, search online to see if there are any services or business ventures accepting utensils, if not municipal. The challenge seems to be that most are made of more than one type of plastic (#1,#4, #5...).
