But the microplastics are releasing endocrine disruptors, right? The same phthalates that we talked about in fragrances are also in plastic water bottles.

Yeah, definitely. It's the same as these stainless steel cups.

But not only that, it's also more sustainable, right? Because plastic bottles... Okay, so instead of that plastic container I had, this glass container for the microwave and for my food is better. Perfect. Okay, but what about the lid?

Yeah, so what I would do is take the lid off if you need to heat up your food. Okay. And what I also do is keep a space between my food and the lid so it's not in direct contact with the plastic.

Just don't fill it all the way to the brim.

Just keep a little space. Okay, cool.

It's the contact with the plastic. I mean, if you need the container and you need a lid to store your food. Okay. I mean, I have those too, so... Die Sache ist einfach, dass du dein Essen von dem, was du anfängst, nicht anfängst.

Versteckte sie. Sie sind schrecklich. Sie sind im Grunde mit Plastik verbunden. And studies have shown that within 15 minutes of contact with the hot liquid, you're getting 25,000 microplastic particles in that cup. And most people, some people don't drink their coffee in 15 minutes, they'll let it sit longer. And so the longer it sits, the more leaching there is.

And not only that, the lid is plastic. So as the hot liquid is passing through the lid, there could also be leaching of microplastics. That plastic lining also leaches heavy metals. So it's Es gibt so viele Probleme mit dieser Kuppe.

I'm actually really, they're so pervasive. And I remember being in Germany about 10, 15 years ago, maybe, something like that. And coffee to go was new. And at the time, I come from the US, they've been around forever. I was like, why is this new? I don't understand. Coffee to go, why is that a thing? And my husband said, it's because we sit down and drink our coffee out of a mug.
