Dioxin Exposure : What the EPA says
I occasionally get emails forwarded to me by well meaning friends regarding dioxins and plastic water bottles or plastic wrap. I always email back this bit of information about where people get the most dioxins, and it’s not from plastic.
Dioxins have been characterized by EPA as likely to be human carcinogens and are anticipated to increase the risk of cancer at background levels of exposure.
Most of us receive almost all of our dioxin exposure from the food we eat: specifically from the animal fats associated with eating beef, pork, poultry, fish, milk, dairy products.— U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
