*[Enwl-eng] Our food packaging may be poisoning us

[ecology]

 

These chemicals are known to be toxic. Nearly Half a Million Deaths in a Single Year Have Been Linked to Chemicals in Our Plastic Food Packaging      Sign Now        It turns out our food packaging may be poisoning us. Toxic chemicals known as phthalates — often called "everywhere chemicals" by researchers due to their prevalence — have been leaching into our food and drinks, silently invading our bodies and causing devastating health effects. A recent study linked phthalates to over 350,000 heart disease deaths in 2018 alone. The evidence is alarming. Phthalates are chemicals that make plastic soft and flexible, and they're used extensively in food packaging. They're endocrine disruptors, meaning they alter our hormones and have been linked to severe health problems including infertility, ADHD, and especially heart disease. Shockingly, despite overwhelming evidence of harm, the FDA still permits nine different phthalates to be used in food packaging.  Why have corporations been allowed to poison us with dangerous chemicals for so long? Why hasn't the FDA stepped up to protect our health and safety? Enough is enough. We must demand immediate action. Tell the FDA to ban phthalates in food packaging now. Our health, and the lives of countless others, depend on it! Sign the petition today! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. A common chemical found in plastic food packaging has been linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths in a single year. Sign for change.      Sign Now
