lol The plastic is in the water that goes into all water bottles. Oceans, rivers, lakes....
People are drinking a lot of nanoplastic particles with bottled water

Aluminum cans do the same to beverages, they make them taste different and it's very easy to tell.
Find a beverage that comes in both a glass bottle and an aluminum can (different beers can be found packaged this way) and compare the taste. The beer in the glass bottle tastes so much better over the aluminum can version.
or..... It's the INTERNET !!!!!
In my experience, glass still taste better. I do use stainless steel Thermos too.
Another side note, Orlando Florida has the worst tasting tap water. Not that I have been every where in the world.

Most aluminum can have layer of plastic inside so the fluid inside is never in touch with aluminum...

Doesn't matter what they try to do, they still taste different and to a point where the can is that much worse. I only buy beer in bottles, but that's rare these days since I don't drink much anymore.

Because that's the same thing as plastic clothing...

glass is always best, that's for sure, just clarifying the 'aluminum' taste - is is just plastic plus extra chemicals...
Actually, very similar, just asbestos particles weren't this small. Plastic already affects brain and other parts of your body (drastically reduces fertility), but making people dump or sterile is not as spectacular as getting a cancer - but that will come with time.

Actually, seems they used the plastic bottles only, but didn't specified this clearly:
"A possible explanation is that some particles of this kind are newly released from the bottle package during transportation or storage, which are retained faithfully in the water sample."
but many was not introduced by package:
"Other polymers such as PA, PP, PS, and PVC, which are not the packaging material but also identified with significant numbers, are most likely introduced before or during water production."

My comment was not about plastics in water but more plastic clothing.
I'm sorry but the idea that banning plastic clothing is going to make any difference is ridiculous imo. I mean what kind of plastic clothing are we talking about here?

We started doing same thing, if can do something other than plastic, we do it -- Liquid Death Mountain Water is what we found, price is good, water quality great - all aluminum

By all means. Feel free to ingest as much plastic and garbage as much as you like. Nobody is stopping you.

Exactly!
There is a reason why countries and people who appreciate real, good beer (mostly in Europe but to a smallr amount in the US), barely sell / consume canned beer!

Most of the clothes right now are made from plastic. Looks at the industrial dumps, mostly plastic clothes, and with the sun, rain or rivers constantly eroding it where all this plastic goes to?
15% of world plastic goes to textiles: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1166582/global-plastic-waste-generation-by-sector/

Those Strabucks paper cups have a thin layer of plastic coating and with hot liquid leaches into the beverage FYI.

Certainly, wits and hyperawareness help. IMO, the biggest detrimental traits would be believing conspiracy theories and thinking that the government banning some things is over-control by the government.

Same here.
Probably a stupid question, but if you have well water would it be worth it to boil it then cool it down then pour it in a Brita filter system or just pour the well water TWICE through the Brita system?

Thanks for letting me know. I would never have known that if it were not for your post!

Its obviously measurable since they measured it, but relating it to homeopathy is a straw-man argument. The article did state that health effects of the plastic is still under investigation. The trouble with "still under investigation" is that until someone finds it has adverse health effects, at least some people will not take it seriously. The human body was not made to digest plastic. For me, its better to avoid the plastic if possible thus avoid any adverse effects.
I think that part of problem is that it is cumulative. The more you drink, the more you have in your body. 1 ml is a very small amount of water.

IMO, banning it, and in certain places it is already being banned, would be preferable to continuing to do the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results - as Einstein said, that is insanity.

That depends on whether the well water has some sort of bacterial contamination and whether the Brita system filters out biological contaminants - which can be exceptionally small and very hard to filter out.
