Ive heard that it is not safe to use clear plastic to cover dishes in the microwave - why? I've also heard that it is not safe to drink left over water in plastic bottles - why? And last, I've heard not to buy drinks in plastic, but glass bottles - why? Do you feel me with the confusion since everything almost is in plastic? I really want people who have a real source of information - no smartie pants please!
Plastic emits a gas as it is not inert. When you store food in plastic, the gas permeates the food. When you get into your automobile after letting it sit for awhile, you will notice a film that builds up on the inside of your front window. The film is caused by the emission of gas from your dashboard. I always keep one window open about 1/4 to let the gases escape my car when it is parked. The gases emitted by plastic can be hazardous to your health. I have heard in some countries, they are outlawing plastic wrap and containers, for this very reason. Glass is inert - it does not emit a gas, and glass does not change the taste of foods contained in it.
plastics contain chemicals that are bad fo u the heat from the micro wave my the chemicals even worse k
