@politiyogini@Fynnderella1 Yeah - disappointing. Stay away from chewing gum ~> Gum bases often use synthetic polymers (e.g., polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene); chewing has been correlated with elevated urinary phthalates and releases micro/nano plastics into saliva (hundreds of thousands per hour...)
@politiyogini@Fynnderella1 per tbsp: ~12–13 µg total phthalates (roughly 880–930 ppb in the mayo product), assuming phthalates primarily from the oil
Vs. daily limits: ~3% of Prop 65 DEHP MADL (410 µg/day) or <0.5% of EFSA group TDI (~3,000 µg/day for 60kg adult); negligible for occasional use but 😣
@Fynnderella1@politiyogini Chosen Foods mayo uses their 100% pure avocado oil (tested at 1,130 ppb phthalates), so the oil component would carry comparable contamination from processing
Mayonnaise is ~70-80% oil by weight, so total phthalates per serving would be lower than in straight oil.
@stkirsch "New York’s vaccine mandate applies to private and parochial schools". 😡 "The Amish plaintiffs emphasized their preference for traditional community schools over homeschooling options..." I guess homeschooling, or moving, might be their pref if this stands. 😣
