A couple friends and I reviewed hundreds of pubmed studies on this. We have a summary at: https://shaperhealth.substack.com/p/life-in-plastic-its-not-...

There have been a number of papers from China showing that phthalate exposure from household dust is a real concern (e.g., https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35508265/).

Phthalate exposure overall has been shown to have an adverse impact on reproductive health and infertility, metabolic and oxidative stress, cancer risk, cardiovascular health, the immune system (including children’s asthma), and neurodevelopment. Unlike dietary studies which often have mixed results, the conclusions on phthalate exposure are consistently negative.

No idea what the FDA is doing here. I understand government inertia but they seem asleep at the wheel.

The FDA is corrupt. It works for enriching the pharma industry. Working for the taxpayer is just a pretense.

Do you see the drugs they approved for AD? These drugs all cause deadly brain bleeds by removing beta amyloid which is not even the cause of AD. There is no way that these drugs fix AD. Yet, they will make the drug makers pretty rich.

The FDA seems to have an internal mandate that no fixes are to be instituted if someone is not making continuously making a load from it, at least until the first few generations of patents have expired.
