Apparently You're not just drinking out of plastic, you're drinking plastic.

83% of samples were contaminated. All brands had plastic particles.

Leading international brands:
Aquafina
Dasani
Evian
Nestle Pure Life
San Pellegrino
Leading national brands included:
Aqua (Indonesia)
Bisleri (India)
Epura (Mexico)
Gerolsteiner (Germany)
Minalba (Brazil)
Wahaha (China)



Some of this plastic is large enough to be handled individually.

No studies have been done to quantify the long term effects of consuming petroleum products like plastic.

Be my guest and keep drinking. Hopefully it just comes out in your poop without cancer or toxicity risk.

Very long chain hydrocarbons are pretty inert within the human body. Your body, ahem, eliminates most of it

I'd love to know why they're so fixated on plastic particles in bottled water instead of plastic particles in bottled drinks as a whole. :unsure:

I mean, we're exposed to A LOT of plastic every day.

The plastic used in applications like holding stuff we eat is manufactured such that it is very chemically inert (like Endless pointed out) and very very low solubility, so it's not even going to pass the lumen regardless.

To be honest it's just going to get balled up in your feces and excreted without you ever knowing.
