#28: Shattering the glass bottle myth – The surprising microplastic truth
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana unpack a new French study that’s turning assumptions upside down: drinks bottled in glass may actually contain more microplastics than those in plastic or metal containers. Published in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis and covered widely in the press, the research points to an unexpected culprit—paint from bottle caps shedding microplastic particles into beverages. Jordan and Lana explore what this means for consumer choices, why wine seems to fare better, and how a simple fix—cleaning the caps—can dramatically reduce contamination.
