The study that was published found that those black plastics, like the black plastic spatula, those plastics contain a variety of chemicals that are known carcinogens. They have flame retardants in them, things that are just bad, bad chemicals. They seem to be even worse. Really avoiding the black plastic, especially heating those. So you think of your to-go food, it's going hot on the black plastic. That's causing those chemicals to leach into your food even more. I mentioned that heat causes the leaching of chemicals like BPA 55 times more.
