When did all this come to light?

When did people start understanding the negative consequences of plastics and your food?

Well, they came to understand it first in animals, because that's the way science works.

You know, first you do animal studies and then you try to replicate them in humans, right?

And so in around 2000, they did some experiments where they fed a rat food contaminated with phthalates.

And then they looked to see how the offspring developed, right?

And what they saw was that the males were born different than the females and different from unexposed males.
