- A new study by Consumer Reports found a large amount of the foods we eat contain tiny plastics called phthalates and they can be harmful. WBZ-TV's Kristina Rex reports.
That is why we are all dying of cancer.
They want us sick, it's crazy
there's hundreds of other contributors but this is definitely causing cancer. It's all a part of depopulation. these corporations know what they're doing
On the flip side this is why cancer treatment centers are raking in record profits.
Yes. I recently turned 50. Mutual of Omaha sent me an application for Cancer insurance. In bold letters, it stated, 1 in 3 people will be diagnosed with Cancer in their lifetime. Those aren’t great odds to remain healthy, when they’re purposely poisoning us like this.
Lots of chemicals and fillers are also added to food.
What product had zero?
I'm surprised your question has not gotten a million thumbs up. It was my first question as well.
I imagine the Consumer Reports website will have it.
I checked the CR website. The product with zero was "Polar - Seltzer Raspberry Lime (can)"

Corporations need to be held accountable
Government is a problem too! They is not doing their job. We mostly cook at home .
For what?
No proven risk
@@Jamie-lb7ehblame George Washington I guess
Who do you think pays most of the gub’ments off so they continue to allow the cheap plastics?
@@SK-lt1soYou obviously didn’t watch the entire video 😂
The standard should be glass or BPA free. But the US is more concerned with making more money than your health.
Lol BPA is only one of thousands of types of plastic and they're all toxic to the body when ingested.
Totally true. But the owners eat the healthiest foods, I'll bet.
Bpa free plastic means nothing theres hundreds of bpa like chemicals worse than bpa it usually replaces. Hdpe like milk jugs looks decent tho and non leaching as long as it doesnt get hot or sit in the sun.
Fr
There are many other chemicals very similar to BPA, such as BPS, which are just as toxic. Yet they allow the can to be labelled "BPA free." Yuck.
“Don’t store your food in plastic containers”
(Walks in any grocery store in USA) you will see plastic containers for purchase
No shit. People are just dumb.
@@pup0229Poisoned from the cradle to the grave.
Oh I love the wonderful advice, they always give, Dont eat as much processed food and eat organic. Well duh, how many people can afford to not eat mostly processed food and can eat everything organic, especially having a family? We would all love to be able to eat healthy but this advise they gave doesn't exactly tell us how to do that. What nowadays, is not packed in some kind of plastic ... EVEN ORGANIC! Most everything is.
Yes. I knew and stopped microwaving, especially in plastic a long time ago. Other than that, what can you buy that's not in plastics? They willl have to stop making plastics, for everyone to get away from it and how likely would that be? Plastic is here and there is no getting away from it.
@@deckiepoo it's not much of a difference in price. True it's more work to cook but don't be lazy. If you're not too lazy to cook, meal prep and clean you'll figure out it's not expensive to eat a cleaner diet. Also you don't need to be in a constant state of being fed. You only need to eat 2 or 3 times a day.
@@mhaas281 ... Well that's me, Lol. I can't stand being in the kitchen anymore and am tired of cooking. I cook because I have to, not because I want to. So I try to find ways to lessen my cooking time.
I only eat one meal a day, which is dinner. However, what I do cook, I try to get the more orgamic, healthier versions.
They didn’t show McDonald’s because McDonald’s had tooooo much
McDonald’s doesn’t even qualify as food imo
McDonald's has more lawyers than them
Most likly you own a burger king and scared mcdonalds isn't higher
McDonald's buns and fries taste like plastic.
Also don't forget about the traces of human meat they found in their food over the years
So even salads ?? Wtf am i suppose to do go to the farms and do it myself 😒
Buy the lettuce that isn't wrapped and plastic and make the salad at home? It's cheaper too
Pretty much or plant and eat your own food

We need to go back to glass packaging.
Folks will complain about the high prices if we do. Glass weighs a lot, so it takes more fuel and trucks to deliver it thus raising prices.
Too late. Already circling the toilet planets destroyed. Most of the plastic comes down from above those arent exhaust trails.
@@NYCHFANwe won’t complain

I like how the industries answer is always, “we’re following the US guidelines and standards”. Yeah, thanks! That makes me feel so much better!
That basically means that there is no standard. The standard is nil.
Yep. I’m like “Apparently that’s the problem.” Lol
They forgot to mention that they also make the guidelines and standards and not the government.
@@blackswan5043I’m not sure if industry makes the standards, but they’re money may influence certain people
Suggest you look up a video on GRAS, it means "generally regarded as safe", a.k.a food companies are allowed to set health and safety standards of their own products thanks to FDA.
It's crazy that consumer report has to ask the government to take action.

I’ve been doing a deep dive on eliminating plastic from my diet recently. I’ve been so freaking pissed to learn how many different ways were exposed to it. Cans for food are lined with plastic, paper coffee cups and to go containers? Plastic lined. Tea bags? Contain plastic filaments. I was consciously trying to avoid plastic for a while before, but those seemingly innocent products sneak it right back into your diet. Anyway, knowledge is power so here we are. Upsetting to learn how much plastic I’ve consumed over the years…
It's seems impossible
Look up. Dane Wigington.
Its coming down from above. Those arent exhaust trails.
No one asked.
Tea bags? How?
“Annie’s” says “it's within the regulatory requirements” that's a cop out.
Then the regulatory requirements need to be changed, obviously!
People still think these corporations or the government cares for them….. yeah ok.
Ronald Reagen was telling us all along they are the problem
@@slapshot68 Presidents way before him were also.
What are you going to tell me next? Rich people get treated better in the eyes of the law and politicians care about me, my friends, my community and family?!
Money talks in America and that's the beauty you bozo Americans have all the power but seem to full of plastic to know how to use it. Stop buying all that toxic crap food and support foods that don't store the food in plastic and watch the change.
Kudos for Consumer Reports to focus on American's most important food group - highly processed food.
They are selling scary stories. We don't know the truth yet.
Not only the food industry but pharma industry as well needs be called out.
Average Americans, yes. Not all if us have bad eating habits
Meanwhile Annie's is branded (and priced!) as a superior , healthier option
It was a small indie brand for a while, but now belongs to the General Mills monolith.
Sad 😞
I have been trying to be as careful as I can though limited in different exposures. I thought Annie's was a healthy brand. I like pea soup but is too much to make for one. So, I splurged and paid an exorbitant price for Annies organic pea soup. Only to realize before I ate it, that it contains 53% salt and has sugar. I'm on a low salt diet. I could buy regular pea soup for 1/3 the price for the same ingredients minus being organic. I "assumed" because of the brand, it to be healthy and neglected to read the label, which I regularly do. Now with this, I won't be buying that brand any longer.
The professor said eat organic, yet the highest offender tested was Annie’s organic ravioli.
How can anyone sane even consider ravioli in a can, organic or not, a healthy food?!
Bingo!!
All cans sold today are lined with plastics to prevent the food within the can from corroding the can itself, furthermore, in processing the food is heated in the canning process usually in a pressure retort (big pressure cooker) and it is the heat that transmits more of the plastic chemicals to the food within the can, as well as the storage time that may cause more plastic chemical transfer. I believe fresh refrigerated ravioli would contain less phthalates simply because of the way it is processed.
I'm sure he meant organic "fresh" fruits and vegetables.
I noticed that. "Organic" refers to pesticide use and zero about plasticizers. That's just dumb.
I remember reading something about these types of issues about 30 years ago.
An older, very healthy guy said that the only thing that will help with things like this, other than avoidance,
would be systematic undereating and/or moderate fasting, which allows the build up of these chemicals to safely release from our bodies.
He probably was correct, because avoidance in our day appears to be near impossible to do.
Fertilizer pellets. The fertilizer every farmer uses comes in huge bags full of white beads. Those beads are urea covered in plastic. The pellets are like a gel-cap pill for the soil, except the gel is a plastic called polyacrylamide that's water soluble and easily absorbed by living things.
Including the ground water.
Exactly!!
Wtf so they're poisoning the soil itself with plastic then the plants grow with plastic embedded in them...? 😵
Good find. Its also raining down from the skies that are sprayed near daily. Total crime against humanity and all life forms on earth.
@@AldousHuxley7yes!
So if foods come in plastic containers or wrapped in plastic? The great majority of condiments, fresh bakery, fruits, and vegetables ARE wrapped or contained in plastic and sold as fresh too. Wow!
The one at the top of the list is sold in a can. It may have been cooked in plastic before being canned, or the ingredients stored in plastic. Meat products could have come from animals that consumed food high in plastics. The final container it is sold in may not be the biggest problem in the process.
Plastics wraps do not typically contain phthalates. Most of it is from the contact in processing with things that contain phthalates. Vinyl gloves, vinyl tubing used to collect milk, conveyer belts and other factory equipment that contain phthalates
Processed food tends to have more phthalates. If you just eat less processed food you have less chemicals in your body. Whole Foods and especially fruits and vegetables will have the least amount of
Cans have plastic liners to keep food and beverages from reacting with the metal.
Coming down from above look up.
Which food had zero?
Yeaaaa bad reporting they never said
I was waiting for them to say, but alas….😔
The one with zero was "Polar - Seltzer Raspberry Lime (can)"
@@willthewriter Thanks! My mom loves that stuff, I think in another flavor….tangerine or something.
a can of water
Nothing new, but often not important for people to take it serious. Think of your plastic cutting board, water bottles, Tupperware, clothing. We’ve been absorbing plastics for a long time into our bodies. The best we can do is be hyper aware and reduce the exposure to ourselves and people we care about. Also listen to Shawn Stevensons pod cast he has docs and guests all the time that explains and breakdowns so much more harmful things we are doing to our bodies unknowingly. Model Health Show
I don’t want to get old, I already ache everywhere at my age. Probably why I don’t care about climate change.
This is not necessarily plastic or microplastic but a plasticzer called phthalates. An oily substance used to soften plastic like vinyl gloves
@@Nuttyirishman85 That's life.
Thanks for the micro plastics loaded nothing burger.
"eat organic' - what does that have to do with plasticizers? "Organic" refers to pesticide use only. I think they need to talk to someone who's had a science class. Very disappointing.
@@cuteface88 "organic" is an actual certification. I expect anyone claiming they're news to know how to use words.
@@cuteface88 that was my point. I don't think reporters are intentionally confusing.
I have been saying for years and years that our food is killing us.
Eat less processed food and you have less chemicals in your body. It’s especially true for phthalates
our air, water and chemicals are also killing us.
Not fast enough, sadly.
The truth will eventually come out! They are poisoning us!
It definitely is. US has a huge fake "food" problem
Those of you who think to just avoid these and grow your own. It's in the rainwater, even in Antarctica. It's in the bugs and soil.
You plan to live forever?
I work in a meat packing plant, and I can say that not only do things like sausages, hot dogs etc all travel on plastic belts on their way to get packed, but then you consider it's packed in a plastic film, alot of which comes in big rolls of plastic, then is heated and formed into a pocket in the machine to put that food into, then essentially heatshrunk again to seal. Some of that plastic has to rub off or transfer. Maybe it's the same for other things that are produced in mass quantities. We should avoid plastic around food period, including packaging. But that will take a monumental shift or safer plastic alternatives.
Every can has a plastic liner to keep the contents from corrosive effect of the metals .
Too bad, we don’t have a federal organization that protects us from things in our food 😮😂
haha love it. yeah the FDA is not protecting us from jack
Plastic should be BANNED in Canada/USA imo. Any thing we eat or consume should never ever touch food/drinks or anything we consume.
Man I’ve been saying this forever and people always tell me I’m a crazy conspiracy kook, we are literally the test bed for so many of these companies ability to maximize profits. When I looked back at my parents diet and the things they ate, nothing came in plastic, nothing at all. Literally everything was in glass, how did we fall so far from that and how do we go back???😊
So happy this is finally getting media attention. Something positive that can actually better humanity’s health
Look up. Dane Wigington.
No, Karen.
This won't do jack.
Our govt doesn’t care
My household has long since switched to glass containers. I'd also recommend toss your microwave in the trash. When you combine plastic containers and microwavable foods, you're asking for cancer. Take the extra time and heat your food on the stove or conventional oven. It only takes 15-20 minutes to heat your food using this method. Styrofoam is also sketchy material for hot foods to sit on. It's the little things that add up over time. Take care of yourself and make better choices. This system won't save you, as you'll pay more for convenience, whether financially or your health. Good things take time.
As a human, we too have a shelf life!
Isnt this FDA's job to mitigate or exterminate this problem?
Not cheerios! Theyre the only cereal that doesnt taste like sugared card board 😭😭😭😭
eat what you want. we are all screwed anyways. all food contains plastic now. the air contains plastic. the water contains plastic.
Am I the only one who thinks cheerios don’t have a taste / taste bland
Use glass....and then use the plastic lid it comes with. LOL
The plastic in your home doesn’t usually contain phthalates unless it’s vinyl. The phthalates mentioned in the video come from processing at the factory with things that contain the chemical
Mason jars have plastic-lined metal lids. Only the outer ring is unlined. @@pripls9607
Why TF is plastic doing in the food to begin with?!? There shouldn't be ANY plastic in them.
packaging. The video stated this.
How is this not national news?😮
I wonder how our water stacks up... And also what about our air?
It's in every drop of rainwater worldwide. It's in every drop of seawater worldwide.
Not poisoned enough to keep me from reading these negative IQ comments.
Annie's is organic and it had the highest amount..I'm going to try breathatarian diet...
The MSM tomorrow:
Microplastics found in oxygen.
Someone doesn’t care about our health and safety especially children and elderly people! Thanks for the info good to know!
Why are plastics there in the first place. This has to STOP!!!
I read that most outdoor gear has plastic sprayed on them to make them waterproof
🙄 Its ONLY the mercy of God that we are all still alive!!! Thank you Lord.
Thank you Most High.
oh stop with that crap. The god allowed this, starving children and all the bad stuff in the world. So wow, what a POS god you have. How about you prove your lame god? Can ya? And why YOUR god? Shameful sales pitches from you religious types on videos that have nothing to do with religion is just gross and annoying.
please stop with that crap. Sales pitches are not needed here.
God allows this poison- god is poison.
Food industry is killing us.
Not much you can do to avoid this, sadly, but bear in mind our ancestors were drinking water contaminated with lead, mercury, cadmium and coal dust, then later on PCB's and DDT (along with other toxic pesticides). They were breathing in leaded exhaust fumes, coal smoke from steam trains and people's chimneys, asbestos and fumes from factories and smelting plants every day. Not to mention the fact smoking was the norm back then. We're probably ingesting only a fraction of the harmful chemicals they were ingesting on a daily basis. My granddad is 80. He's lived through the days of leaded gasoline, asbestos being everywhere, everyone smoking cigarettes, PCB's and DDT in the tap water (also lived through the tail end of steam train operation in his childhood), but you know what? He's in great health. Tldr: I think we're gonna make it.
Like the way you see it,makes everything more calm lol. Just sucks we still have to deal with things like this with so how advanced we feel we are.
Life expectancy has increased greatly during industrialization in the last 100 years or more. We should be vigilant, but let's not panic every time some poorly done research hits the news.
Cancers in children are increasing! Just because we survived other toxins doesn’t excuse KNOWING POISONING of our food and environment
This reminds me of the time when GM hired inspectors to make sure their rat feces contents were within legal limits, and to adjust them if they were not.
How do we compare with other countries? Is there evidence of actual harm? Are we being alarmed unnecessarily?
To answer your last question, take a look at some of the comments in this video.
There's your answer.
It's a scare tactics, there are plastic packaging all over the world and many people in Japan and China live longer and they live their everyday lives just like us. Yes these small plastic things are harmful if you took a lot of them everyday but they're not that harmful like what the media makes it out to be. Our body not only takes in food they also cleanse out toxics as well so if you ever worried about if these small toxics would harm you be glad your body already got your back. I grew up eating Cheerios as a kid and look what happen, I'm still here today.
I found tiny slivers of plastic, like from a plastic bag, in Philadelphia brand cream cheese. Not just one time. A few. I should have complained about it. 😝😨
So when it comes to Cheerios one must ask do I want lower cholesterol or higher plastics.
Dear God this world is crazy!!!
It’s not goin to be safe to eat anything, we might hav to start from scratch
This won’t change, it will just become more accepted. Probably will be marketed in the future as “man made fiber” or something. Just noticed a couple weeks ago that the muffins I used to buy that were placed in paper bags are now in plastic containers. Kind of depressing.
When I worked in a sugar factory I’ve seen plastic, dirt and rocks go in to be melted and sent to dunkin and other places
So, these companies are getting sued, right?
And they're going to stop doing this, right?
its almost like we should have never started using them! crazy
This has been known for years. People in the US just don’t care enough about recycling, regulation, consumer waste reduction, ecological practices, etc. Now we all suffer.

Is it so surprising since our grocery stores are full of plastic items from drinks to prepared meals? We're surrounded w plastics and don't be shock when u hear we're breathing in plastic particles as well

This is nothing new, we've known this for years. Micro/nano plastics are a huge problem, plus more chemicals attach themselves to these plastics. The real problem is we have no idea what the longterm effects are. Micro plastics are being found in human tissue, lungs, heart muscles, other organs. etc.

After the crazy pesticides found in Cheerios recently and this, they need to take that crap off the shelf. What a disgrace, that was supposed to be the healthier cereal.
Of course. It's in everything. And at this point, the idea of placing blame on any one entity or corporation would be folly. Plastics are literally in aerosol form everywhere, every day, always.
Eat less processed food and you will have less chemicals in your body
I started buying glass last year and I still buy glass.
So wtf are we supposed to eat if the corporations are poisoning us? Serious question.
Soylent Green
Like plastics are new, it is every where! We have ' consumed it for 50 yrs, especially the water.
Soaps, shampoos and hair sprays may also contain these.
Try the soaps that don't have plastic packaging. They make bar shampoo, conditioner and soap
Sounded like they are actually putting them stuff inside the soaps, cosmetics. Used as solvents and stabilizers in common health and beauty products.
@michaelkurtz1967 there are some that have that, but you can Google them and find products and product lines that do not. Also sometimes thr packaging results in bits of nano plastics to come off in them. Most of the non plastic packaged shampoos, conditioners and soaps tend to me more concerned about plastics and what is put inside of them.
@@asiancuteness8517 Michael was mentioning phthalates not necessarily plastic or microplastics. Phthalates are an oily substance that are used to soften plastics and in many self care products like shampoo. The video was about phthalates being found in food that can leach into the food during processing.
So what sell it in glass an charge it like alcohol
Are lawmakers going to forbid the sale of food with plastic in it? Or will they decide to set limits on the plastic allowed in the food that is sold for human consumption?
It would have been helpful to list the top 10 good and bad foods...
When I back from Europe for 2 weeks I got sick AF Dr. had to explain it was reracclimating to American food (he was European) go figure!
There are ingredients in American food that are banned in a lot of of countries. Even in the same processed foods. I'm glad you re-acclimated, at least. If you didn't, you would have to move to another country.
So less demand means companies will make less food with plastics or is it our responsibility to protest this and win some kind of fight. Why can't companies be more responsible we have nothing to do with this and have no control over this.
Micro Plastic is every we’re now a days.

This is reported in nano grams, this is an extremely small unit of measurement, probably for dramatic effect. So for example, 20,167 nano grams is equal to about 0.000020167 grams.
It builds up over time and small amounts can have big effects on hormones. 1 ppb of atrazine in water causes male frogs to lay eggs.
It's the MSM.
They'll do anything for views.
I put this comment for people who weren’t familiar with the metric system.
I consider this era as the "Plastic Age". There probably is no escape, unless we totally pull away from society. All of this is by design, IMHO.
Not even then, because there’s no spot on earth where these chemicals aren’t present anymore, not even Antarctica. It also is present in fertilizer for plants in agriculture and therefore is in the water runoff/soil/water systems as well because it’s water soluble.

"Arby's, we have...the Phthalates!"
The steep price hikes of fast food have kept me away. Wow Annie's organic but loaded with plastic. How does this plastic get in?
Packaged anything is bound to have a degree of plastics in it, person whose IQ can't reach double digits.
They say eat organic but the top offender on their list was an organic product.
People who less processed food tend to have less of the chemical in their body
organic fruits and vegetables, not "organic" packaged stuff
Hasn't this been known for a while now? Practically all food is packaged in plastic so ofcorse there will be microplastics that get into the food, if people are just realizing this now that's just sad.
Despite the corporations needing accountability.......humans need to eat unfortunately. It stinks but what can normal folk even do? All we can do is limit the quantities of food if possible. I wish there was a drug that ceased all hunger without side-effects and lasted permanently. And no human issues with it.
