I used to use a couple cold pressed juicers similar to this. I choose to never use these again. So where the auger pressed against the cone shaped thing to squeeze the juice. You would assume those things are all metal and stainless steel? Nope. All plastic. Sometimes the augers are ceramic but the cone shape press thing is plastic and they DO wear down. That means you're getting microplastics in your juice. Yum….. 😩

Hope you guys don't chew gum, use Himalayan salt, Buy food in plastic, eat out, drink water…! (not disagreeing with you, it's in so many things!)

Looks like a lot of microplastics has already gotten to some's brains. Plastics act as false hormones, can make some more hostile… seriously, why so hostile? Did my remark threaten your life or livelihood? Those are just documented facts of modern life.

So I guess we are "too soon" to purchase this? Or too late?

What about sleeping with a plastic bag over your head to prevent breathing in toxins?

PCTG (Polycyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate glycol) is generally considered safe for food contact and does not pose significant health concerns. It's an FDA-approved material used in various applications, including food packaging, and has a non-toxic chemical composition. While concerns about chemical migration from plastics exist, PCTG, along with PETG, PS, and PET, has minimal migration, indicating lower health risks.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Food-Safe Designation:
PCTG is an FDA-approved material, meaning it meets specific safety standards for food contact.
Non-Toxic Composition:
PCTG's chemical structure is considered non-toxic, and it's resistant to leaching or contamination of food.
Low Migration Rates:
Studies show that PCTG, along with other plastics like PETG, PS, and PET, has minimal migration of chemicals into food, indicating a lower risk of health issues.
High Chemical Resistance:
PCTG's chemical resistance helps prevent harmful materials from being leaked into food or drinks.
Recycling and Safety:
Recycled PCTG can be used in food contact, provided the recycling process ensures no contamination and that the recycled material is suitable for food contact.
Temperature Resistance:
PCTG can withstand higher temperatures (up to 76°C) without compromising its safety.
Important Considerations:
Food Grade Plastics:
Food-grade plastics must meet specific regulations and cannot contain dyes, additives, or harmful substances.
Recycled Materials:
While recycled plastics can be used in food contact, they must meet appropriate guidelines and undergo proper safety assessments.
Potential for Migration:
Concerns exist about the potential migration of chemicals from plastics into food, but this is generally lower with materials like PCTG.
BPA-Free Alternatives:
PCTG is a BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate, which raises concerns about BPA leaching into food.

Depends on if you like your throw away junk "too soon" or late.

The difference between the things you mentioned and this is, I would love to show you a photo of the press thing. We are talking plastic grooves more than 1/4 thick plastic and in 12 months of daily juicing, bald and flat. You can't compare that to chewing gum or any of the things you mentioned.

It doesn't matter. If the grooved press wears down and chunks of plastic go in your juice as you drink it, regardless of how "safe" it is, it's still plastic, and it can get parked into deep tissue and wreak havoc on the body. What you're talking about is, when juice comes in contact with a plastic container. Leaching generally only occurs after sitting in contact with plastic after several hours. There's been studies on this. What I'm talking about is the grooved plastic press where the auger presses the veggies through, that grooved plastic when it's new is about 1/4 thick and I can guarantee if you regularly juice daily, in 12 months those grooves will nearly be bald or flat. That's A LOT of plastic ending up in the juice you drink. 😱

I don't doubt what you're saying, I don't know how things compare, wasn't asserting that they were exactly the same or worse or anything. Saw some recent Posts saying that testing showed that ppl had about a plastic spoons worth of plastics in their brains already! micro plastics migrate to the brain.. and there was also a news story that people consumed a credit cards worth of plastics per I don't know what length of time, maybe a year?….. edit: unreal it's worse than I imagined: " People are consuming about 5 grams of plastic every week, which is the equivalent of a credit card, according to an analysis by the World Wildlife Fund and carried out by the University of Newcastle in Australia..That equates to about 21 grams of plastic per month and just over 250 grams per year, the report states.
