I wouldn't be surprised when in a few years we would find out that petrochem & oil companies have had studies about this for decades and suprressed them. You know the way it usually goes.

Not just water, anything that comes in plastic containers. FDA needs to ban plastic containers. Need to start going back glass bottles.

This video title is misleading. The video does not discuss how it may affect our bodies at all. It should read "You all have plastic in your bodies".

We’re all dead from this. We just don’t know it yet.

It says nothing about the impact in the body.

Hold your bottled water
above a LED light check
for glittery particles.
maybe a black light could
detect them.
