Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

These are things like BPA, BPS, BPE, potentially other chemicals, plasticizers that are in this bottle that are going into the water that are not being tested for.
So, when it comes to water in a grocery store, if you're traveling or you want it for your home, spring water in a glass bottle is clearly the best choice. Plastic bottle is far far worse. Do not be misled by the study
I still think drinking from glass bottles is safer than drinking from plastic, especially because glass doesn't contain other chemicals like BPA and BPS.
While glass may contain more microplastic particles, plastic bottles (especially when exposed to heat) generally test higher for PFAS and endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and BPS.
