Plastic VS Glass bottle for salad dressing

I'd go with glass because even though they got rid of BPA, the most toxic chemical in plastic, I still don't fully trust the ingredients in plastic. Our bodies are under attack from various estrogenic like substances (xenoestrogens), from plastic food packaging that throw the body chemistry off and result in poorer health and promote cancer.

I'd go with glass as well. Just anecdotally, I had 2 dogs (Chloe & Sadie) and always had two bowls of water within reach, one glass bowl and a Tupperware bowl. The dogs would empty the glass bowl first and hold off on the Tupperware....I replaced both with glazed ceramic and it no longer makes a difference to them.

Ps: Chloe and Sadie passed away over 10 years ago, but I have Ruby who is six and sadly we lost Sophie this past March to cancer.

100 million people will not have the benefit of eating a meal today.
And you ask this...

You're saying that because some people are starving puketcity should not be allowed to enjoy salad.

No. I'm saying the vessel they choose to serve their vinegarette out of - Is somewhat redundant.
On the whole.

They got rid of BPA, which was in plastic for years, because it was a chemical that had estrogenic effects on the body. This throws the body whole glandular chemistry out of whack and promotes cancer, among other things. When broken down in the body, estrogen produces some of the most dangerous carcinogens known to man. Both men and women need a certain amount of estrogen. But excess estrogen is exceedingly bad news.

Now it turns out that BPA free plastics also often contain estrogenic substances. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/03/tritan-certichem-eastman-bpa-free-plastic-safe

Glass might be a little bit heavier, a bit more expensive, (not real expensive), and something of a breakage risk, but it is chemically inert and you don't have to worry about this stuff with glass. It is a major matter, healthwise.

They have not 'got rid' of bisphenol A at all.
They have simply added 'bpa-free' to certain products.

If you are saying that, you're not doing a very good job.

At what?
Bpa is in heaps of canned products.
Google it.

No.

Then just make stuff up as you venture forth.

I don't make stuff up. If you don't know about estrogenic action in the body, and how it can screw things up royally, then it is up to you to find out. Nice guy that I am, I gave a link asnyway. However, the idea that bpa might be in things, and in what amounts, requires the poster to post a link to some substantiation.

I don't Google on command.

I told izzy to 'google it', not you.
I researched bpa years ago - And 20 seconds on google will prove it is in 44% of all (lined) canned foods.
I don't even handle 'checkout' receipts, use antibac or feed my family or dogs from cans anymore, because of.
Done my homework.
Go do yours.

Screw it. Since I eat only one canned product-Starkist White Albacore Tuna-and not everyday, I figured it was worth internet searching. But not Googling, (too nosy).

Found this list from Mother Jones-same source as my previous linked article-and while Starkist White Albacore, (my one canned product), is not on the list, Starkist Chunk Light Tuna is. It is very low BPA, beneath the daily allowed limit. I doubt that the Starkist people would go through the trouble of making their cheaper line of tuna low BPA but not their more expensive line. Here's the list, taken from Consumer's Union:

Okay, so you make a big change in your food eating habits because of BPA in the packaging, than complain when when someone advises someone to package their salad dressing in safe glass instead of a plastic container that also leaches estrogenic substances in the food a fair percentage of the time.

Glad to see you're not trolling.

since it's redundant , you might as well go back to using cans for yourself , your pets and your family

I was drawing a comparison between starvation and the unimportance of sauce-delivery mechanisms.

Are you being insane on purpose?

The op makes no directive toward chemicals in plastics - It may be an aesthetic-related post...
Why bpa came into play, I have no idea.
And it isn't used in jugs or beakers anyway.

My point was (Don't fret over how, or what you use, to dress your salad - You're fortunate to eat today).

All the best, folks.
Enjoy your salad/s.

Irrelevant. They asked what kind of bottle they should put their salad dressing in, and I advised them of the dangers of plastic, even BPA free plastic.
Along with a link to an article so readers don't have to follow my command to "Google". Whether they were going for aesthetics or not does not matter-they might not have been aware of the health difference between the two package materials. I informed him.

That's a pretty good reason to take into account when choosing packaging materials, don't you think, Mr. I-don't-use-cans-because-of-estrogenic-BPA?
