The doctor pointed out the danger of "plastic" water for the thyroid and reproductive system

Nutritionist Anton Polyakov warned about the dangers of water in plastic bottles.

In conversation with aif.ru On Tuesday, July 29, an expert stated that 99.9% of plastic bottles are made of polyethylene, a material that ages over time and begins to emit phthalates. These substances are endocrine disruptors and can negatively affect the thyroid gland, reproductive system and other body functions.

He also stressed that when plastic is heated, the process of phthalate release is significantly accelerated. For example, if water bottles are stored near a battery, in a warm room, or in direct sunlight in a store, the level of harmful substances in such water will be objectively higher. Polyakov advised to give preference to glass containers whenever possible.
