If you want to prevent harmful chemicals from entering your food, then why take a chance with plastic food wrap and plastic food containers? By storing food items in stainless steel food containers, you don't have to worry about toxins seeping into your food.
Virtually all food packaging materials contain substances that can migrate into the food they contact, including the plasticizers used in plastic food wrap. There continues to be an increasing body of evidence about the health risks of the chemicals (plasticizers) used to make plastics soft and flexible. We are warned that these plasticizers are known to cause birth defects, cancer and developmental problems in lab animals.
PVC food wrap manufactured in the U.S. is commonly plasticized with di (2-ethylhexyl) adipate also known as DEHA, which is listed by the U.S. government as a plasticizer that may be used in plastics that contact food. You may be interested to know that DEHA is used as a functional hydraulic fluid, and a component of aircraft lubricants!
The best way to avoid plastic packaging and food wrap is to:
- buy food and drinks that come in a glass container
- buy bulk
- when possible, avoid food that are packaged
- store your food in glass or stainless steel food containers
