In your momma’s bedroom.
This might be why. 😁


Plasticizer found in food from McDonald's, Domino's, others

Eat junk food, get plastic plug.

Shangri-La
But would the grease from those fast food places counteract the stopped up effect of the plastic?
And people who love Taco Bell are always talking about having to make a lights and siren run to the toilet after eating a load of that stuff.
I don't understand going back to a restaurant after that but to each his own.

You are going to be hard pressed to avoid Phthalates.

And then you have the PVC and PEX that can leach the stuff.

Several different materials have been used for production of domestic water pipes throughout history. In recent years, the use of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipe has increased dramatically, yet the potential for leaching of phthalates, which are endocrine disrupting compounds associated with adverse reproductive effects in humans, has not been examined. In this study, the potential of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (cPVC) and red, blue, and heat PEX piping to leach phthalates into static hot and cold water after 2, 8, and 48 hours was evaluated. Concentrations of six phthalates, dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl-butyl phthalate (BBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and di(n-octyl) phthalate (DNOP), were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pipe type (F3,71 ¼ 15.6, P¼ 0.001) contributed significantly to phthalate concentrations in water, while temperature (F4,71 ¼ 1.74, P ¼ 0.106) and time (F4,71 ¼ 1.02, P ¼ 0.427) were not significant factors. Significantly higher concentrations of DEP, DBP, and BBP were observed in cPVC pipe (<method detection limits (MDL) to 466 ng L�1, 252–4,219 ng L�1, 473– 18,400 ng L�1, respectively) compared to blue PEX (T2¼ 12.2, P< 0.001; <MDL, <MDL� 140 ng L�1, <MDL� 459 ng L�1, respectively), red PEX (T2 ¼ 19.3, P<0.001; <MDL, <MDL� 188 ng L�1, <MDL � 881 ng L�1, respectively), and heat PEX (T2 ¼ 19.9, P<0.001; <MDL, <MDL� 162 ng L�1, <MDL� 169 ng L�1, respectively). Phthalate exposure from drinking water via cPVC or PEX is low when compared to other dietary sources. Nonetheless, a shift from cPVC to PEX pipes in households would decrease potential exposure to phthalates.

The first link states those chemicals only stay in the body for about 4 hours.

Actually, Taco Bell is one place that the wife and I frequent while out on the road, and we don't have such a problem, either constipation or diarrhea. We have found that Taco Bell is one of the few places that still allows dine-in other than restaurants where the food is higher priced and not worth those prices.

While we were in Oregon for 17 months, we tried most of the restaurants in Grants Pass, OR, and we found that Taco Bell and Dairy Queen were the places of "fine dining" for us. (With reference to "fine dining," check out the movie "Demolition Man.")

All I could see in my mind was this scene from My Cousin Vinny.
