    I’m fine with anyone pointing out the myriad problems with the United States, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re baselessly speculating that this problem only exists in the United States with nothing to back it up other than your preconceptions.

    study finds most of the plastic comes from bottle itself, filtration

    Does the rest of the world use other types of bottles or filtration techniques? Doubtful. You should at least accept the possibility that many plastics leech harmful chemicals.

      I didn’t dispute that it could be the case I said that it shouldn’t be world news that three brands in the US have an issue. It might affect others but it’s a big jump to international concern from three localised cases. If it were one case in three markets it’d be different.

      And yes to speak to your comment, other countries do have different systems and regulations.
