PLASTICS
➤ Most people are aware of BPA these days…
➤ BPA is not used in ALL plastics, but it’s behavior is representative of how plastics behave
➤ Molecules of chemicals in plastics are not tightly bound, and easily “shed”

PLASTICS
➤ FOUR things that increase the rate at which those chemicals leach or migrate out of plastics:
➤ HEAT (microwaving, hot water washing, dishwasher, hot food, sunlight)
➤ ABRASION (scrubbing, dishwasher, hard foods)
➤ ACIDITY (citrus, tomato, vinegar, etc.)
➤ OIL (oily or high fat foods)

➤ Barrier between where the plastic ends and sauce begins is blurred
➤ Sauce migrates INTO the plastic, and plastic migrates INTO the sauce

➤ Many chemicals that migrate out of plastics are ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING
➤ BPA:
➤ synthesized in 1891

➤ If ALL plastics leach estrogenic activity, what does this mean?
➤ It means that we REDUCE the use of plastics in the kitchen, where they have direct food contact

WE WANT OUR CLIENTS TO
REALLY HEAR US
© Lara Adler, LLC - Tools For Teaching Toxicity
In order to reach your client, it’s often important to create a
BRIDGE OF RELATE-ABILITY
“

Now that you’re making all this great food and you’re setting yourself up with meals on hand – what are you using to store all those leftovers in?
“
© Lara Adler, LLC - Tools For Teaching Toxicity
Here’s why I’m asking; I want all this effort you’re making to really pay off for you. I don’t want anything to negate or undo all your hard work. The plastic food containers that you have at home now aren’t supportive of either your short term or long term goals.
In fact, the plastics that you’re using can be partly responsible for your ________ condition, so I’d love to shift the conversation so that we can make sure we have all bases covered for you!

Other ways to introduce the “plastics” conversation:
➤ During kitchen or pantry “makeovers”
➤ During any Detox or Cleanse program
