Microwave heating expert doubts hidden traps

Microwave heating disposable plastic tableware, the plan has caused mass poisoning, which causes an accident caused by a lack of common sense, sounded the alarm for the public. Medical experts advise this: the increasing pace of life accelerated, fast-food culture gradually infiltrated public life, disposable plastic tableware, microwave food, although both the health, the advantages of fast, but hidden within the “security trap”, the public should pay more attention, to avoid accidents.
Currently, most disposable plastic tableware is made of polystyrene. Because polystyrene is difficult to achieve in the decomposition of the natural environment, it is also human beings called “white pollution.” Many overseas studies have shown that materials such as disposable plastic cutlery could not complete polymerization, will synthetic styrene monomer, dimer, trimer and other substances, such as use it to wrap food (especially hot food), the will produce a potential threat to human health. In addition, polystyrene heated at high temperature environment will break down toxic substances, human long-term exposure may lead to chronic poisoning, resulting in neurasthenia, liver, kidney damage and other symptoms.
Using microwave heating of food daily, a lot of people’s choice. Medical experts have said that microwave heating of food not only causes loss of nutrients, may also cause changes in the molecular structure of food. Microwave heating is simple: the use of electromagnetic waves reflected back and forth in a microwave oven, a huge friction and generate heat. Data show: the microwave loss of nutritional value of food will make 65-70%, including vitamin C, E a huge loss, protein is also depleted of nutrients. Chen Hao said, although so far there is no clear study found that microwave food will directly cause human cancer, but the food changes the molecular structure, so that microwave food more unknown substances, it is inevitable to increase the security risks.
Experts warned this: daily life, people should try to abandon the use of disposable plastic tableware, both for environmental protection, but also a human health care. Heated for some new plastic tableware, the public should also identify the identity of scientific, rational use to avoid accidents. If sufficient time, the public should choose other ways instead of microwave heating of food, nutrition and ensure safety.
