You might’ve seen the headline: 😳 Here’s what they didn’t tell you about this study...

✅A recent French study tested 100+ drinks in glass, plastic, and cartons—but didn’t disclose the brands tested.

🧪While glass bottles did show more visible microplastics in some cases, they only counted particles larger than 25 microns-so plastic may look “cleaner” simply because its particles are too small to be counted.

🧢And the microplastics in glass? They came from the painted metal caps, not the glass itself-especially with acidic drinks like soda or wine.

🔥Plus, heat and storage time can increase plastic leaching across all packaging types.

🚫Even cartons weren’t microplastic-free.

💡Pro tip: Rinsing or wiping the bottle top before opening can reduce microplastic contamination by up to 60%.

Bottom line: No packaging is perfect, but glass is still your cleanest option-especially for still water.
