And there have been other scientists who have shown the opposite to be true.

Any health hazard with the silicone containers? The only con I know is that they retain the food smell.

I'd like to see citations from both sides (in reputable journals.)

I third-fourth-fifth.. or however many times this has been mentioned.. these containers. I've used them since I've been commuting 5 years. The last ones I know came from Costco the first I think came from Sams but could be wrong. Never a issue. You could use the glass version over plastic but you're adding some weight, but wait ever you prefer.

When I really like about it. I have some containers that stack together well (inside of each other) and some that don't (not for lunch transport but rather for kitchen usage of opened packages like beans/etc...) and one can see the difference in space utilisation.

LOL! We had a dog who would jump the fence and disappear every few days for a couple hours. Came to find out, one of the neighbors a couple blocks away fried lots of food, and put the Crisco in the can out on the porch to cool after dinner. We couldn't figure out why the dog wasn't hungry, she couldn't figure out what happened to the grease.

Me too. My boss saw me carrying my porcelain dishes into the kitchen to wash. She asked if I'm moving in.

Does this mean you got another job? (I hope so!)

No, that was at my most recent job. Thanks for asking and caring. Still searching.

Here's a listing from Pubmed (one of the main US sites for peer reviewed articles). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=bpa+replacement+safety

Along with information about who paid for / commissioned the studies.

Are they in the pocket of Big Pyrex?

I doubt its Corningware behind this.

Especially since Corning sold the Pyrex brand name some years back.

In most reputable journals, that information is required.

Guys, I'm a prof and familiar with Pubmed as (almost) all of my papers are in there.

I was curious which studies/articles you're basing your judgement on? Are there any that stand out that you've read?

Do the NWs present some advantage over other colloids of silver in this application?

Curious since I worked as a process engineer manufacturing electronics, and actually produced and coated AgNWs at an industrial scale in a previous job. I was mostly interested in the electrical and optical properties, and only delved into the biological stuff in so much as "is this bad for me?" I also worked a bit with other semiconducting and metallic colloids, and nearly landed a job back home near my family working with silver once again, but my industry is in a crisis so most opportunity has evaporated in recent months.

Actually, yes! If the wires lie vertically along a rod-shaped bacterium the activity is enhanced versus other AgNPs! They do indeed have interesting optical and electrical character as well.

In my opinion, almost nothing is really known about how silver directly kills bacterial cells.

Stackable to save storage bruv!
