Do not attack, I am unarmed.
Basically, What does everyone here actually know about the health issues of using plastics? From other forums I know enough to have made a decision to exclude them from the distilling process on as it is just easier to avoid them then risk potential harm.
I accept that ethanol eats plastic. thats easy to see when it comes to automotive uses. but what research is out there to show how much exposure ethanol has to have to plastic and how much has to be consumed to come near to causing as much harm to the human body as alcohol abuse can cause, if any at all.
basically. if a home distiller uses milk cartons to store his piss and drinks 2 standard drinks a week for 40 years will he contract cancer because of the plastics or can you be an absolute piss wreck and die of liver failure at age 35 and still have no signs of ill health caused by dissolved plastics.
Would love to see some of the info people have found and hear some opinions on a distilling forum.
Just want to recap that I have no intention to use plastics and don't want anyone else to consider it as a result of this post. Just want us all to have some education on the matter.
Post away :D
