Plastic utensils against our health

Plastic tableware has become for us a real assistant, it is perfect for parties and events. Also it is convenient for baby feeding, if the baby accidentally looks like a plate on the floor, nothing will happen.

Some kind of dishes made of plastic are suitable for use in the microwave and the dishwasher, because they are made of hard materials and resistant to heat. However, since the appearance of this dish there are doubts about how safe it is.

A group of experts from the Medical University of Taiwan conducted a study of the impact of disposable tableware made of melamine on health and found that prolonged use of plastic plates for hot dishes increases the risk of serious diseases, including kidney stones.

Harmful plastic utensils, really? The experiment of Taiwanese scientists took place in the following way. A group of eleven people and Dr. Chia-Fang Wu was divided into two equal subgroups have been assigned different tasks. One group of six scientists ate a hot dish of noodles out of Styrofoam, the second — used porcelain ware. After twelve hours the urine sample of the first subgroup (consumed food from a plastic dish) showed the highest content of melamine, at that time, as the second six, this level remained fairly low.

Does the temperature? Taiwanese scientists have proven that eating very hot food from plastic utensils increases the risk of developing kidney stones. Pre-owned or low-quality plates made of plastic or melamine can also cause harm to people suffering from this disease.

The article, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, confirms the fact that the dishes are low quality can release very large quantities of melamine. Also this is manifested, among many other plastic appliances and cooking tools that we use in the kitchen.

The release of melamine occurs not only in contact with hot cookware, and serving her dishes that contain vinegar.
