Red Bull - European but Far right

Buy European but … Also with ethical considerations.

Red Bull might sound cool, but they have their own TV station in Austria. (servus TV) And that station js beyond far right. Spreading disinformation, and Russian propaganda, Corona Bullshi, Ivermectint, cleaning stuff with chlorid, climate change deniers, … If there is a conspiracy they support it …

(And it’s also not very healthy,…)

    Cans are lined with plastic that bleed estrogenic chemicals into the beverage

    I did some quick looking through google Ecosia and I found some stuff that (seemingly? I’m not an expert) confirms this. It made sweeping statements about pretty much all plastic, though. Do you still drink stuff from plastic bottles?

    This sounds like a snide comment but it’s not, I’m interested because I currently still drink both from cans and plastic bottles!

      If you’re going to drink from a plastic bottle anyway I don’t think the plastic lining on a can is going to be worse. Interesting it’s there though, only learned about it a couple years ago.

      I mean, that’s just plastic in general, it’s also why you shouldn’t reheat food in plastic containers because it can leach chemicals out of it.

      Completely baseless assumption, but if there’s enough chemicals leaching from the containers into your food, you’d be able to taste it and wouldn’t be ingesting it to begin with.

        There’s plenty of chemicals that either don’t have a taste, or are harmful at concentrations we aren’t able to detect by taste. I’m not saying they’re in plastic necessarily, but they definitely exist.
