    Possibly maybe! But you rlllllllllllly shouldn’t! You worrying gonna cause way way way more harm than a variable you absolutely have no control over!

    But good news, it has no effect short term whatsoever!Plus fun fact, it’s practically impossible to carry out long term experiments on us! Its just not a realistic expectation for someone to do something for decades that is expected to wildly shorten their lifetimes!

    But theoretically, as far as I understand by my ever limited understanding as a bioengineer, it kind of shouldn’t! The dangerous thingie about plastic that it releases unbound oxygen on high temperatures. Now if unbound oxygen gets exited, its gonna get the zoomies wrecking, among many less important things, your DNA and causing cancer! So eat antioxidants, like a ripe banana every day!
