Bottled water often has a slight plastic taste. Does this mean I am ingesting microscopic plastic particles?

I don’t know why nobody brought up the plasticizers. Basically plastic by nature is a hard brittle substance combined with a soft tough one. These plasticizers like bisphenol-a (BPA) make the plastic flexible. They also have an estrogenic effect in the body and disrupt the endocrine system. There was a big stink a few years ago and bpa was removed from many things and replaced with other placticizers which also have the same effect on the body but have the advantage of being able to be sold with tags that say BPA free. BPA was singled out because of its common usage. So the best way to avoid it is…I guess time machine?
