How to practice Glass or Stainless-Steel Storage
Store drinking water and hot liquids in glass or stainless steel, especially when liquids sit for long periods or are heated. Prioritize this change for daily-use containers (water bottles, coffee carafes). Do not stress about occasional plastic use; this is a low-effort risk-reduction step.
The evidence behind Glass or Stainless-Steel Storage
Prevents leaching of BPA/BPS and phthalates, which act as endocrine disruptors and have been tied to metabolic and neurodevelopmental effects. Human exposure studies show lower urinary BPA after switching to glass or steel containers. Simple, durable intervention.
