This n=1 trial points out two further factors to make a larger trial better able to more accurately determine causality between human clinical health indicators and BPA and other plastic-derived chemicals. The reasons for those flaws are multiple and include: Markers for ultra-processed food additives The first factor would be to determine a blood marker […]

Reducing Non-Food Exposures in Dietary Intervention
Attempts can be made to reduce non-food exposures (NFEs) in dietary intervention studies. However, it is impractical (and probably impossible) to eliminate them. Plastic micro- and nanoparticles, as well as the chemical compounds used to produce, are ubiquitous in the environment and present formidable confounding factors that make it impossible to establish causal relationships between […]

How Strict Rules on Sourcing Dairy Proved Impossible — and Would Have Hurt Reproducibility As Well
Dairy has many opportunities for plastic contamination For dairy products, we created an ultra-strict sourcing protocol that assumed that the introduction of plastic chemicals into the dairy food chain begins with the milking process. That strict protocol had to be drastically altered will be described below. To consumers, the most obvious connection between plastic and […]

The Cream Separator From Hell = No Cheese & Butter As Originally Planned. (And Reflected Flawed Logic and Impossible Logistics)
Cream separator, as sold.Even if we had solved the reproducibility conflicts with our “close to source, minimum contamination” plans for milk, the final problem was the fact that the only small-production cream separator we could find was full of plastic parts and “stainless steel” that was actually aluminum. That despite the fact that the seller […]

Oil for Cutting Boards
For treating wooden cutting boards, in our dietary intervention lab/kitchen, we used olive oil packaged in glass from a local supplier who has minimal plastic components in their oil-making mill. While some food sources suggest that vegetable-based oils will somehow turn rancid in contact with water, we found no evidence of this. We washed and […]

Milk Samples: Making Aluminum Foil Barriers to Avoid Contamination by Migration of Plastic Bottle Caps
To avoid possible plastic contamination in the milk samples we sent for Mass Spec testing, we used glass bottles and aluminum foil to prevent sample contact with the plastic cap. This technique also works well in the kitchen when glass storage containers have plastic lids. The Center for Research on Environmental Chemicals In Humans […]
