Simply Store 18-Piece Set
Glass is non-reactive, no leaching. Plastic containers leach BPA/phthalates even when 'BPA-free' (replacements equally concerning). All 6 EPA-tested BPA alternatives showed estrogenic effects.
Quality & Materials
Borosilicate-style glass. Plastic lids only (don't microwave with lids).
Evidence & Testing
Strong evidence that all plastics leach. Glass is only truly inert option.
Brand Transparency
Simple product. Well-established brand.
Value Assessment
$30-40 for 18-piece set. Best value glass storage.
Why Not Alternatives?
'BPA-free' plastic uses BPS/BPF which have similar hormonal effects. Glass is truly inert. Some leaking when tilted but safest material.
