99% are in the habit of using PLASTIC BOXES for refrigerator food. CLEAN CONCEPT turns out to be extremely dirty, BAMBOO

First, they use three different ways to preserve a food. The first is to put in a box with a tight-fitting lid, the second is put into a zip-lock zip bag, the third is to put in a bowl and wrap the wrap with food.

Then, they measured the amount of bacteria in these 3 storage ways at 3 different times. As soon as the food is dropped, the bacteria in all three ways are 2,000. After 10 hours, the bacteria in the zip pocket are 270,000 bacteria, in the bowl is 280,000, and the box with lid appears to take 770,000.

After 24 hours, the amount of bacteria began to increase dramatically, in the bowl there were 4,200,000 children, zip bags had 4,400,000 and the lid box was 9,600,000 heads. Thus, the food in the lid has bacteria twice the other two.

Experts say that, from the outside, it is safest to put food in a closed lid, but why the results of the study give the exact opposite number. Going deeper, they discovered that the core problem, the cause of the problem, lies in the rubber ring surrounding the lid. This is a task that helps cover the lid more tightly, prevents bacteria from attacking from outside but is hardly cleaned regularly so it produces more and more bacteria.

To make a more definitive conclusion, the expert took out a box that was washed and removed to check the rubber ring. Above contains up to 1,549 long-lived bacteria, just waiting for food with heat to multiply and flourish.

To eliminate everyone's fears, the expert has also found the best hygiene way to help keep the food storage box clean and free of bacteria.

MAKING:

- Mix vinegar to eat with bakingsoda powder at a ratio of 1: 1

- Then soak the rubber ring for about 10 minutes and then clean the entire plastic box again.

In addition, it is important to note that when washing the plastic box, remove the rubber ring, clean it carefully to use it to ensure food safety for the whole family!

7 plastic symbols and its toxic or safe level

Number 1 - PET (Polyethylene terephthalate)

PET plastic is one of the most commonly used household products, such as mineral water bottles, soft drinks, beer and packaging like ketchup, jam and jelly. Only plastics that are used only once should reuse can increase the risk of dissolving heavy metals and their constituent chemicals, affecting the hormonal balance in the body. PET plastic is difficult to clean, recycling level is also very low, so it's best to throw it away when finished using.

If reused if the hot water is over 70 degrees Celsius, not only will it be deformed but it will also resolve harmful substances. This plastic product, if used for more than 10 months, can produce carcinogens.

Number 2 - HDP

HDP / HDPE (high-density thermoplastic) is used to make hard plastic containers such as milk bottles, detergent bottles, cooking oils, toys and some plastic bags. In addition, HDPE is also used to manufacture plastic bags, insulation materials or plastic pipes. Polyethylene is the most popular plastic family in the world with good flexibility, durability, and moisture resistance.

This plastic does not release toxic substances, so this is the type that is often chosen for the safest of plastics.

But, as a 2011 study showed, most plastic products produce estrogenic chemicals, including HDPE. Chemically active estrogen (EA) is suspected of causing health problems, especially at low doses in mammals and the fetus. EA exposure has been shown to alter the cell structure of humans, creating potential risks for infants and young children.

Number 3: PVC (Polyvinyl chloride)

PVC is a soft and flexible plastic commonly used to produce transparent food packaging, cooking oil bottles, toys, plastic bags, credit cards, oil bottles, plastic toys, detergents, blood bags, tablecloths and other construction materials. PVC is considered to be toxic but still the most widely used of consumer products in the world, only after polyethylene due to its low cost, toughness, durability and transparency.

PVC contains many toxic chemicals including lead and DEHP, a phthalate used as a plasticizer. These chemicals disrupt the endocrine system of wild animals, causing testicular cancer, genital deformity, low sperm count and infertility in a number of species, including polar bears, deer, and fish. elephants, otters and frogs. Scientists believe that phthalates cause similar effects in humans.

This resin may contain or stagnate toxic substances that can cause cancer or change sex hormones in humans, especially when burned. Should be avoided and should not be reused.

Number 4: Low density polyethylene (LDPE)

LDPE is considered to be low-toxic plastic and is used in some dry-washable bags, plastic packaging, bakery packages, paper newspapers, frozen foods or carton carton boxes.

These are bottles made from the safest plastic and can ensure repeated use.

LDPE belongs to the family of Polyethylenes but with lower density than HDPE. However, it still retains the basic characteristics such as plasticity, toughness, and good moisture resistance. But according to some documents, products containing this substance should not be heated in the microwave, avoid high temperature because it will release toxic chemicals.

Tips: Safe to use.

Number 5: PP (polypropylene)

White or almost transparent plastic, used to make yogurt cups, syrups, or coffee cups, even straws. It is durable and light, resistant to temperatures of 167 degrees Celsius, so it can be reused and rotated in a microwave oven. PP is also very resistant to moisture and slime.

PP plastic is also used to make disposable diapers, thermal cloaks, car accessories such as wind barriers, car mats. This is a safe plastic for food and drink, can be reused many times.

Number 6: PS (polystyrene)

Polystyrene is also known as 'Styrofoam' and is used in egg trays, disposable plates, cups and bowls, disposable food containers or food packaging . When heated, polystyrene is available. can release styrene, a neurotoxin and carcinogen.

Tips: Try to avoid food and drinks in PV plastic containers or even use them. If used, avoid using near high heat sources.

Number 7: Other plastics

Big bottles of water, juice bottles, ketchup bottles, glasses, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, many home appliances, cars and even bottles for babies will have 7 bottom of the bottle.

This type of plastic or plastic mixture does not belong to the above forms. It is hard to know for sure what kind of toxins are in plastic 7 because they change so much, but it is very good if they are polycarbonates. If they contain bisphenol-A (BPA), or Bisphenol-S (BPS), it is very bad. BPA and BPS are endocrine disorders that interfere with the body's hormones, affect the mood, growth and development of the body, tissue function, metabolism, sexual function and fertility. product.

Tips: Do not reuse any way.
