@hormonespecialist: Part 4 of 5 Navigating Triangle Codes in Plastics I'd still work towards only exposing your food and drink to inert surfaces like glass, stainless steel, ceramic, and so on, but using plastic number five can help you get there. When shopping for this, you have to search for polypropylene tableware or polypropylene serveware online and look for the five code or the word polypropylene in the packaging or the product itself. Code five is recyclable. So in plastics, strive for five. Number six, PS. This is polystyrene. You'll recognize it as styrofoam. Foam plates, cups, coolers, packing material, egg cartons, those disposable takeaway containers. Now from an estrogenic viewpoint, pretty much a non-issue. It doesn't have those problems, but polystyrene can leach styrene, a known toxin when it's warmed up, and it's usually used for hot foods because of its insulating ability, but I'd stay away from this one. Believe it or not, it's recyclable. Nix six. Number seven, other. This is where everything goes that doesn't fit under any other code. Things that are made of BPA go here. So it's a flat reject. Common uses, bottles, water bottles, and sadly, baby milk bottles. Even if it says BPA-free, the substitutes are likely as bad or worse. They'll recycle it into an outside doormat or something. With seven, you won't thrive. Nothing past five. I know, the rhymes are getting bad. Good thing we're done. Although it doesn't fall under a code because it's not a plastic resin, let me say something about silicone. I guess I wasn't very clear about this because people are asking yes or no on silicone. Silicone's a great option and safe to warm, cool, or store food in. No chemical leaching, except possibly when you cook with it at temperatures above 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
