00:00:00
Can we go look at my kitchen now? >> Let's do it. >> We're going to look at real things that
00:00:03
you might not even know in your kitchen are causing you some of these problems. Come with me.
00:00:07
>> Okay. So, the team have been here for the last couple of days. We've been
00:00:09
getting lots of takeaways. And so, this is a higgled piggledy of everybody's
00:00:12
food. What's wrong? You've got you're pulling >> black plastic.
00:00:16
>> What's wrong with the black plastic? >> We talked about plastic. It has BPA. It
00:00:19
has phalates, but it also typically is made from recycled electronics. And the problem here, Stephen, is recycled
00:00:26
electronics have flame retardants in them because you don't want your electronics catching fire. And there
00:00:31
have been a variety of studies now that have found that black plastic has a high
00:00:34
amount of these flame retardants that are leeching into the food and getting into people's bodies that way. Not only
00:00:39
do you not want to eat out of black plastic, you don't want hot food going in there, right? Cuz that's like the
00:00:44
worst. >> Can I get a bin bag? I need a bin bag. Okay, so let's throw that in the bin.
00:00:48
What else? I'm going to take all of it out. Okay, this is the other thing that
00:00:52
really reaches out. Spicy foods. Anything acidic that goes into plastic causes the chemicals to leech into it
00:01:00
even more rapidly. Kind of the same way the heat does. So, heat acidic foods not
00:01:05
good in plastic. >> So, my spicy sauce, if it comes in a little plastic tub, it's going to leech
00:01:10
in. >> Look, if it's the oneoff, okay, but like not a habit. Yes. A big time leech in
00:01:16
it. You're you're you're eating BPA hot sauce. >> What about this? This is made of paper.
00:01:21
>> Here's my little thing I do. See that waxy is a waxy >> a pas
00:01:29
>> on the edge. >> Yeah. This is This is better than the black plastic. If you had to like if
00:01:32
there's like tears, this is better than black plastic. >> Okay. And this
00:01:37
>> ding ding ding. This is great. This is the best thing that you can do if you're
00:01:40
going to have food made for you or you want to order takeout, have someone make it for you and deliver you in this.
00:01:44
>> And this is a bamboo lid. >> Bamboo lid with with gl Pyrex glass.
00:01:49
Right. So this is what this is good. >> This is great. >> So I need more of this.
00:01:52
>> You need more of this and get rid of all I mean this is already looking better.
00:01:56
This is on the scale at least. It goes in cold. So here's the thing. Microplastics are also shedding into
00:02:02
this. We didn't talk about microplastics. They're shedding into here. The chemicals not as much in
00:02:08
something like this, but they're still getting in. So this is a little bit better when it comes to like the the
00:02:14
tears here. The hot food is the worst. This is a little bit better. But I still would get lettuce
00:02:18
>> because it's cold. >> Because it's cold. >> So it's not seeping.
00:02:21
>> Exactly. >> Okay.
