what the fuck? the original aeropress is famously not BPA-free.

oh right the other junk science scare from the early 2000s, based on ONE mouse study where they injected insane amounts of BPA in muscle tissue, then follow ups with more junk science.

Let's learn something today: Bisphenol A was actually created by a german pharmacuetical lab trying to make a synthetic hormone. In 1891, and it was revisited many times until the 1930s and considered a failure. It never showed estrogenic properties. Eventually, it ended up as an additive to plastics. The amount shown to be estrogenic in a mouse muscle, after injection, would be impossible for a human to consume in 10 lifetimes. This plagues most of the estrogenic research published.

But selling fear sells media. So no, BPA will not give you tits.

Now Aeropresses contain "microplastics", despite no evidence they actually do.

Another example of people believing bad science was the banning of DDT. One ecologists faked data about bird populations and linked it the use of DDT, so everyone banned it. Millions died of malaria as a result.
