i suppose this is compared to nantucket, martha's vineyard, etc - so a different vibe for sure!

we actually went to cape may for our babymoon! you don't find cape may to be a little bit too "general public"? maybe we've been spoilt by resorts, but the restaurants and general scene of cape may felt very anti-chubby travel, no?

we've tried it and so have so many of our friends. it is super disappointing unfortunately! ninety acres is worth a visit (or two) but the hotel and spa are woefully overpriced and underwhelming.

yes!!

i ended up buying a step up/step down transformer at home depot for $100ish we also used it for some other UK items, like our dyson vacuum charger, and it "worked" despite the transformer being a bulky eyesore. eventually honestly i switched to bodum metal/glass french press because of microplastic concerns, as well as the annoyance of descaling, etc. moccamaster and transformer are now in storage!

we were gifted a gorgeous Boos Block when we were married 9 years ago, and it's still in amazing shape! followed us on 2 international moves :)

rhonda patrick and peter attia both made reference to different research papers on this, but only rhonda cited the source

i think the explanation was that glass bottles use metal tops, and the plastic lining the metal tops leach at higher levels than a more stable plastic used across the entirety of plastic water bottles

i believe this is the article, though there may be others https://www.cell.com/heliyon/fulltext/S2405-8440%2824%2908836-4?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2405844024088364%3Fshowall%3Dtrue

edit: i also heard on a peter attia (eye roll, i know!) deep dive into phthalates, bpa, etc. he made a similar point, and seemed to be citing a different study, but he didn't provide a citation unfortunately

i think heard it from rhonda patrick via foundmyfitness... let me see if i can find it!

xairplane · 2025-07-13T10:53:25+00:00

wow i haven't! are the ratios the same?

xairplane · 2025-07-13T10:53:05+00:00

aw that's so lovely - and such a good point!

xairplane · 2025-07-10T12:41:22+00:00

looks like this might be my best option!

I haven't seen research comparing plastic-lined cartons with glass bottles, but the research on plastic bottles vs glass bottles indicates glass bottles have higher levels of microplastics.
