Scientists make surprising discovery about drinks stored in glass bottles: 'We were expecting the opposite result'

Researchers studying microplastic contamination in common beverages made a startling discovery: Drinks stored in glass bottles contained between five and 50 times the level of microplastics as drinks in plastic bottles.

"We were expecting the opposite result when we compared the level of microplastics in different drinks," said Iseline Chaïb of the Aquatic Food Safety Unit, which conducted the study at the ANSES Laboratory for Food Safety.

I like chicken foot soup, but I take my own glass jar. After reading Red's OP I'll have a rethink.

 

What is a big 'no; 'no' for me is hot soup in plastic bags. Very common here in Isaan.
