I know there's the precautionary principle, and BPA was dealt with, I think about five or six years ago, to protect young children, although the government scientists did not support the fact that BPA was causing problems. When it comes to number six plastic, styrene, we're talking about styrene versus polystyrene, which is the polymerized version of styrene. Just so you know, you're probably getting as much styrene in your strawberries and coffee beans as you might get from polystyrene packaging. In other words, it's minimal. It's in nature.
We have to look at the impact on humans of these things, compared with that of the regular environment. It's a cost-benefit and also an environmental examination of the use of these things. The industry does not put additives in to harm anyone, and the government has pretty strict regulation on safe food additives. It has to be proven, if you have a package, that it is safe for use.
