Silicone can have similar problems. We're not sure about silicone in very cold temperatures, but a study about silicone baby pacifiers found that silicone can release particles similar to microplastics during normal use and especially when heated. We posted about it here: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1073844811447513&set=pb.100064660120925.-2207520000&type=3Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against S.C. Johnson & Son Inc., Maker of Ziploc Storage Products: Ziploc bags and containers have been such a presence in Americans' lives for decades that most people don’t even think twice about using them. But a new class action lawsuit is raising a lot of questions about the safety of this food storage staple. The lawsuit, which was filed by California resident Linda Cheslow, alleges that Ziploc bags and containers contain undisclosed microplastics that can harm consumers, and that marketing them as "microwave safe" and suitable for "freezer" use is misleading, since they're made from "materials that scientific and medical evidence shows release microplastics when microwaved and frozen." Jamie Alan, PhD, an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University, says that it would be "logical to believe that all plastic products come with some level of personal and environmental risk." Scientists are still trying to parse the potential impact of microplastics on health but there is some research linking these particles to dementia and heart disease. Microplastics have also been linked to oxidative stress. Long-term oxidative stress has been tied to the development of chronic inflammation, cancer, and other diseases. Microplastics also contain hundreds of toxic chemicals that can cause disease. To top it off, studies have found that microplastics infiltrate all systems of the human body -- in human blood, breast milk, lungs, placentas, and able to bioaccumulate deep in brain tissue.DO NOT use Ziploc or any plastic products to store food and drinks. There is no such thing as food-grade or food-safe plastics.Read more: www.aol.com/ziploc-facing-lawsuit-related-potential-160400834.htmlIf you shop on Amazon or need ideas, we have plenty of plastic-free food storage options in our storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/gmofreeusa_official/list/O75N68N9IJ7M#Ziploc #plastic #microplastics #nanoplastics #FoodStorage #brain #food #PlasticPollution #pollution #toxins #health #holistic #holistichealth #gmofreecanada #gmofreeusa #toxinfreeusa ...

BREAKING: Alliance for Natural Health, alongside Xlear and Better Way Health, has filed a powerful new petition demanding the FTC end deceptive enforcement practices that silence scientifically-supported natural health claims.This formal action challenges the FTC’s unconstitutional censorship and overreach, including its requirement for multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for every health benefit claim, regardless of broader scientific consensus.What the petition demands:➡️ Replace the rigid RCT standard with a “totality of the evidence” approach➡️ Protect the First and Fifth Amendment rights of natural health companies➡️ End lawfare tactics and ensure agency accountabilityIt’s time the FTC respects the Constitution and stops suppressing truthful speech.Add your name.
