A member asked:
I cooked a soup, then i didn't like it, so i throw it in my trash bag,it was still hot. did i release chemicals like plastic fume in the kitchen???

Heat w/plastic: can release a tiny amount of chemicals. It is much more of an issue if you drank soup that was heated in a plastic. The cumulative effect of toxins is the real issue. Try to minimize toxic exposure and eat lots of green leafy vegetables to help your body detox naturally. Peace and good health.
