Recently, the news about the excessive plasticizer of alcoholic liquor has become a hot topic of public concern. In this regard, experts say that consumers do not have to be too scared, if only a small amount of drinking, the intake of plasticizer is not enough to cause damage to the body.
The plasticizer is a polymer material additive widely used in the industry, and the addition of such a substance in plastic processing can enhance the flexibility. There are many types of plasticizers, and the most commonly used are phthalic acid diesters, dibutyl phthalate, and the like.
“Plasticizer is an industrial additive, not a food additive. It is not allowed to be added to food, but it has the functions of thickening, retaining fragrance, improving taste, etc., and the cost is low. Taiwan’s plasticizer crisis is unscrupulous business. It is used to replace the relatively expensive palm oil, and mixed with gum arabic, emulsifier and various food additives to make a toxic 'clouding agent', so that food enters the human body." Experts introduced.
Then, how much harm does the plasticizer in the liquor cause to the human body? Experts from the Ministry of Health said that the harm of plasticizer to the human body depends on the intake and the length of the intake. If it is only a small amount of alcohol, the plasticizer is not enough to cause harm to the human body; At the same time as paying attention to the danger of plasticizers, it is more important to pay attention to the harm of alcohol itself, because it is more harmful to the human body.
How can we avoid the consumption of plasticizers through food? Experts suggest that some lifestyle habits should be changed in daily life.
First, when using food containers, use less plastic materials and switch to high-quality stainless steel, glass and ceramic containers.
Secondly, the plastic wrap for preserving food should be selected from materials that do not contain plasticizer, and avoid heating the wrap film and food together at high temperatures. It is best to use less plastic wrap, plastic bags and oil-resistant paper to pack and hold food.
Third, try to avoid cooking oil and oily food in plastic containers or plastic bags. It should be used less when drinking hot water, hot soup, tea and coffee.
Fourth, use as little plastic container as possible to heat the food in the microwave oven. Because the microwave oven is heated at a relatively high temperature, the oily food will accelerate the dissolution of the plasticizer.
