"More than 3,600 chemicals found in food packaging are also found in human bodies, according to a paper published Tuesday in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology."
"Food packaging can chemically react with food. You may have observed this if you've ever stored tomato sauce in a plastic tub and seen a reddish residue in the container that doesn't wash off."
"Heat and time accelerate leaching. Many of the chemicals in food packaging are ingredients in plastics and can be found in clothing, furniture and personal care products."
"Of the 3,600 chemicals found in both food packaging and in humans, the researchers say about 80 are known to have hazard properties of high concern to human health."
