Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and have got
some bad news for the one and only.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Brook Fox No.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Bad news today.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Jeff I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I don't know what you're gonna do with this information.
You're probably gonna be frustrated. But a ten year study
just wrapped up and it's revealed something somewhat shocking that
drinks stored in glass bottles contain more microplastics than ones
in plastic bottles.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Okay, I'm guessing that this study was done by the
Plastic Bottle Association.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was done by the Global Health Organization.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
How would that be?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
They analyzed hundreds of different soft drinks and waters and colas, alcohols, wines,
even beer, and they expected the opposite result. When they
did the study. Did not think they were going to
get back these readings. But for example, iced tea and
lemonade averaged eighty six point three microplastic particles glass containers,
but in a plastic container only had two point two particles.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
I don't really get it.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
You are you gonna give us an explanation because buying
more plastic isn't gonna help even in glass bottle.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They do have a theory.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Experts believe the bottle caps on glass bottles aren't being
cleaned properly, so the plastic residue from the cap is
falling into the drink. Jokes.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
I only drink things out of bottles that have cork.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So good. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
They're encouraging companies to change their bottling process, but you
know that could take years for les or regulations to
be put in place for them.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
That's interesting though, So you want to look for a
glass bottle with a metal cap.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
No, that doesn't know. That's what I'm saying. The bottle
caps are dissolving.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
And falling into the fact, the plastic bottle caps.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And the glass.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But there's plastic caps on glass bottles.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay. If you want to fight the Global.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Health Organization on their resarts.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Please do that on your own time, visual pro.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
There you go, what you told us.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Brook, don't feel bad today when you bust out your
plastic straws and your plastic spoons. They are coming back
because they are healthier for the plant.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Are not.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Plastic is so terrible. Stay away from plastic. Where do
you think we get microplastics from?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
To begin with?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Joe, you can believe Brook or the Global Health organization's
talk to you.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
That's not what you're saying. Plastics are back in. Now,
let's move.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
On to the question of the day and head over
to our digital producer and see if, hopefully we're celebrating
Ingestable Microplastic Day.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I wish, But today's actually National Food Truck Day, Oh,
where we recognize the little mobile restaurants who boldly serve
you lobster rolls for only nineteen dollars in a parking
lot next to a guy using a fire hydrome as
a urinal.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
But if we're being real, food trucks have come a
long way in the last decade, from absolutely sketchy to
potentially sketchy. But I didn't get food poisoning, dude.
