Plastic Particles Found in Bottled Water—Should You Be Concerned?
There’s been talk lately about tiny bits of plastic showing up everywhere—the oceans, lakes, even in bottled water. Do you ever worry about if you might consume those plastic bits through the food and beverages you consume? Many food products are sold in plastic containers—milk, juices, yogurt, cheese, frozen foods, bread, meat, etc. The list can go on and on. A new study from the Columbia University took a closer look at some of the top bottled water brands in the US and found most had traces of plastic particles (microplastics) floating around.
