Do you use plastic products every day? Especially when packaging and preservation of food, plastic bags, plastic wrap, plastic bottles are inseparable...
Although they bring convenience, if used improperly, people will unknowingly consume microplastic particles and toxic substances, harming your body!
microplastics that "slide" into the human body
microplastics have been found in human feces before. This year's survey by the International Environment magazine showed that microplastics are already present in the human blood.
Among the people who participated in the survey, 80% of people have plastic particles in their blood. These particles are from PET plastic bottles, polystyrene food packaging bags and polyethylene plastic bags.
Don’t use plastic bags and plastic bottles “closed your eyes” in the future! Today I have listed a few of the most easily hit usages, so everyone must be vigilant!
Fatal error 1: Reuse of plastic bottles
For the sake of waste utilization, many people will reuse the drunk mineral water bottles, fill water, oil, honey, seasonings, etc., and then put them back in the refrigerator for storage.
This method is wrong!
Mineral water bottle belongs to No. 1 plastic bottle. It is a disposable product and contains a substance called dimethylhydroxylamine. It can easily precipitate plasticizer after repeated use. Eating it in your stomach may cause mutations in DNA in normal cells, which will increase the carcinogenicity of carcinogens.
plasticizer will also simulate environmental estrogen, inducing infertility , breast , ovarian malignant tumors .
So, there is a plastic bottle marked "1" at the bottom of the bottle. You should throw it away after drinking it. Do not continue to use it, and you cannot fill oil or hot water.
Fatal error 2: Improper use of plastic wrap
When putting food that cannot be eaten in the refrigerator, we will use plastic wrap to isolate bacteria and package independently, which can effectively avoid their moisture loss.
But plastic wrap is not a "universal film". When using it, you should take a look at the instructions on the packaging.
The plastic wrap on the market includes PVC, PE, PVDC, PMP and other materials, and their applicable temperatures are very different. You can click on the video below to see what the experts say ~
PVC and PE
are suitable for refrigeration and preservation at room temperature and refrigerators.
is not suitable for steaming and cooking and microwave ovens.
PVDC and PMP
are high-temperature resistant and can be used in microwaves. It is relatively safe
. You will think this is too troublesome and can't remember it, so just remember the simple method of choosing plastic wrap: check the instructions for use!
Generally speaking, it is not recommended for those below 80 degrees or below 100 degrees. Also, it is not recommended for everyone to use it in the microwave. Also, please note that all plastic wrap cannot be put into the oven.
Fatal error 3: Improper use of plastic bags
Plastic bags in supermarkets
Supermarket fruit and vegetable fresh areas often have rolls of plastic bags. You can buy vegetables and fruits by pulling them out.
Most of these plastic bags are made of PE and are suitable for use at room temperature. Do not store hot foods above 80 degrees, otherwise they will dissolve and attach to the food, causing the food to increase harmful substances.
Moreover, this material should not be exposed to oily food for a long time, as it will make the plastic material dissolve in the oil.
Recommendation: It is best to choose high-temperature and low-temperature-resistant food-grade plastic bags for hot, oily and frozen foods.
Colorful plastic bags
Colorful plastic bags may contain "toxic and harmful" ingredients - benzopyrene .
, especially thick black plastic bags, are often recyclable recycled plastic . You can smell the "plastic smell" by just sniffing it close.
These plastic bags, remember not to put anything you eat directly.
Use plastic products, pay attention to
1. Choose products produced by regular manufacturers, and do not purchase "three-no products" to reduce safety risks.
2. Different plastics have different heat resistance, so avoid using ordinary plastic bags to burn or oil.
3. Plastics are very polluted to the environment, so it is recommended to use as little as possible. You can switch to cloth bags, paper bags, porcelain or glass products , which not only protects the environment, but also benefits your health!
