In the past, rice was made of iron pots, but now many families no longer had that kind of pot. They all used rice cookers. Put the rice in and press the rice cooker to wait. You don’t have to sit there and burn the fire by yourself. You can do other things at this time. From this point of view, its invention has brought great convenience to mankind.

However, many people now pay attention to health preservation. Since when, the rice cooker that every family is using has been despised. Some people have seen some negative news about it on the Internet, saying that it is the "catalyst" of liver cancer , and the inner liner is toxic, so they dare not use it. What is the truth? Is it really harmful to health? I will tell you about this article, understand it early, and don’t believe in rumors or spread rumors.

Rice Cooker Insert Poison?

Generally speaking, most of its inner shells are Aluminum . Because it is not easily decomposed by high temperatures. However, it has one disadvantage. If you directly contact with food, it will have a safety hazard, so there is usually a layer of coating, which can be avoided.

If you only talk about inner liner , not to mention coating, it has a certain adverse impact on health. If often consume aluminum , it will have an adverse impact on the health of multiple systems such as human nerves, bones , etc. But we don’t only use it. It has a coating on it when we buy it. So generally speaking, as long as it does not fall off, it is not toxic and does not cause cancer when used normally.

When it comes to coating , many people are also worried and think it is poisonous. In fact, the answer may be different from what many people think. Its material is generally Teflon . Many people may have heard of it. In fact, it is not only this kind of pot, but some non-stick pot also use it.

It is a polymer polymer , also called "plastic king ", it sounds like toxic. Many people may think that it is not conducive to health when they see the word plastic, but in fact its properties are stable, and is not toxic .

So, from this we can see that this statement is false. Generally speaking, as long as you purchase through the regular channel of , the quality is qualified, it is used normally, it is not toxic or carcinogenic. The same goes for some other pots containing this coating.

But when heated, will it not decompose?

Although the temperature is indeed relatively high when cooking, generally speaking, the temperature during cooking will not exceed 200 degrees, while or above 1250 degrees may decompose. So don't worry too much.

However, when using it, please remind everyone to pay attention to the following points:

coating gradually falls off , especially when large pieces fall off, it is recommended to replace them in time and not use them all the time.

Because falling off means that food will come into contact with it. Over time, aluminum may enter the body. Over time, its amount will gradually increase, which will be detrimental to health. In addition, it is easier to stick to the pan and it is also more consuming because it is not as easy to clean as before.

Whether it is a rice cooker or some other pots containing this coating, the ones you usually purchase are qualified and will not harm your health. Here we recommend that you use it reasonably to extend its life. It is best not to use a steel wool ball when cleaning. If it falls off obviously, it is recommended to replace it in time.

Then why do you say it is the "catalyst" for liver cancer?

Many people may have seen this content:

One of the couples was diagnosed with liver cancer, which is related to their long-term use of the "paint-lossed" rice cooker, and the harmful substances in it were decomposed.

But through the above understanding, I believe everyone has also understood that is not the case . To take a step back, even if the use of shedding and consuming more aluminum may not necessarily cause liver cancer. Compared with this, it may be more likely to occur in , nervous system, and brain-related diseases.

Moreover, whether it is liver cancer or other tumors, their occurrence is generally only related to one factor . So this statement is not reliable. You don’t have to be too anxious or worried because of this. Just use it normally and reasonably.

However, liver cancer is indeed worthy of our attention and learning to prevent it, because it does not feel pain and is often discovered after it is severely damaged. By then, the treatment methods may be relatively limited, and the chance of reversal will be smaller.

Rice cooker is not a "catalyst" for liver cancer, the following are!

Hepatitis B is its catalyst. Although it is not an inevitable relationship, if there is hepatitis B, does not treat in time. If you ignore it, it has a relatively high probability of cancer. Because the disease is contagious, many people may be afraid of it, and they have some wrong understanding of it and have fallen into misunderstandings. However, in fact, it is to pay attention to it early and actively carry out antiviral treatment. Many people can control it better and live a normal life like ordinary people.

Alcohol is the second, especially for Chinese people, drinking for a long time is even more risky. This is related to our genes, which makes it impossible to be decomposed in time and accumulate in the body, which will cause greater damage to the liver. If this continues, it will increase the risk.

To sum up, the saying that the inner liner of the rice cooker is toxic and easy to attract liver cancer is a rumor. It is not toxic and will not cause cancer even if it is used normally. Friends who dare not use it should be eliminated when they see this worry, right? It is recommended that if you find that the coating is falling a lot during use, you can consider replacing it. For liver cancer, if you want to stay away from it, you should actually pay more attention to the above two points. Hepatitis B patients actively treat them. People who drink alcohol usually quit drinking as soon as possible, which will help reduce risks and reduce liver damage.
