I remember reading an article a while back about using plastic container to warming up food in the microwave. It actually puts part of the plastic in the food you are going to eat. I just found a note on it.

Why should you never heat up your food in plastic?

Because unfortunately, studies have shown that when you heat plastics, they release chemicals. such as BPA, BPS, BPS, and or phthalate. So if you're heating your food in these containers, or putting the food into the container. after it's been heated, those chemicals are then going into your food, which you don't want.

Plastics are an environmental nightmare that generations from now will still be dealing with. We have trashed our world.

If it's any consolation, they are probably in every other part of you too...

It just amazes me that for years this was allowed with no forethought.
And now we suffer to what extent?
Time to ditch as much plastic from foods I guess.
