Drinking bottled soft drink and bottled water has been something almost everyone in the world has been doing for the past 40 years. We used to drink from tlass bottles, but glass bottled soda has been falling out of favor and replaced by plastic bottles.
And plastic bottles shed both microplastics and nanoplastics that enter our bodies and give off unwelcome #chemicals , including #PFAS compounds that are highly hormone-disturbing.

IMO seed oils are a much bigger issue - causing mitochondrial damage which causes cells to revert to fermentation
I've heard of the seed oil thing becoming a major talking point over the past few years, and I agree as far as that anything in excess is almost certain to be a hazard to your health, and while excessive use of oils in cooking (sans olive oil) is naturally bad for you, I've not yet found convincing evidence that oils, seed or not, is bad in any minor amount. I'll have to dig into it.
Also, fermentation happens in the large intestine, not inside the cells themselves.

The question is what can damage mitochondrial function besides seed oil. Probably smoking, but not many other things. I would be surprised if properly cooked potatoes could do it, for example.
