I just posted this in the Home Depot bucket thread, but I thought more people should see it since so many use plastic buckets.
The peer-reviewed, National Institute of Health journal 'Environmental Health Perspectives' tested over 200 products with different types and combinations of new-generation 'food safe' plastics...
95% released endocrine disrupters.
EDs are risky even in small amounts because they mimic hormones and their effect is thus far reaching. They are linked to many health disorders.
But if you let an actively fermenting alcoholic beverage sit in ANY plastic bucket for a week, it is quite likely you will be drinking estrogen-mimicking plastics.
We always have to make safety decisions with a limited budget, but glass is a worthwhile investment for me.
