Eating from plastic takeout containers can increase heart failure risk (theguardian.com)

The headline made me think it was about eating delivery/takeout food from plastic containers specifically vs eating plated food that had been in plastic containers.

Which seemed curious. So I read TFA.

And no, this is about all hot food put in plastic containers for delivery/takeout regardless of how it's later eaten.

When I was in China, I saw that food delivery was massive, cheap and easy. And the food is often piping hot and put in plastic containers.

How smart can one be eating hot food from a soft plastic container with metal cutlery.
