TIL: Cardboard / gable top milk cartons are lined with... plastic. But they block ultraviolet light
Ultraviolet light can penetrate clear glass bottles (PDF) and HDPE (PDF) plastic bottles.
UV light degrades vitamins A and D and riboflavin.
*All of these packaging types are used for many other foods as well.

"Leaf absorption contributes to accumulation of microplastics in plants" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-08831-4 "Here, analyses using mass spectrometry detection show the widespread occurrence of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS) polymers and oligomers in plant leaves, and identify that their levels increase with atmospheric concentrations and the leaf growth duration"
The proliferation of micro plastics correlates to the rise of cancer rate in young people.
