Two things guaranteed in life. . . Taxes & Death
We are all gonna get _______ and die.
Remember to "not take life too seriously" and have some fun.
(Or at least that is my opinion after coming close to death as a young teen.)

Olive oil, canola, palm, vegetable. This universe the last time I checked. I also don't generally consume my water container as part of my hydration process.

Plastics have issues. They outgas nasty stuff too. New car smell? Film on inside of car window? Plastic inhalent vaping.

Do some research beyond one or two articles - don't just take Jenny McCarthy's word for it. Estrogen mimetics abound in our world. Pesticides, plastics, soy products. Most cans (soda and tin) are lined with BPA.

One poster summed it up well about using glass and ceramic and infrequent use of plastics.
