Plastic containers release small chemicals into stored foods and liquids. Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical commonly used to make clear, tough plastic bottles and food can liners, can leach, or migrate, from baby bottles and waters bottles into the liquid and then enter the bloodstream

Hey
Here is your answer,
All plastic is made from chemicals that have the potential to harm a person's health. The chemicals that make up plastic include BPA and DEHA. According to the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, grocery bags are made from high density polyethylene or low density polyethylene and are usually coded for recycling as a 2 or 4. When food is stored in plastic bags these chemicals can leach into the food and then be ingested. This also includes plastic wrap, which is made up of similar components, says the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. Over time these chemicals have been linked to tissue changes, genetic damage, chromosomal errors, miscarriage, birth defects, early onset of puberty and hormonal changes. In children, chemical leaching can cause harm to their developing immune system and can result in disrupted hormones and behavioral problems.
Hope it helps you!
