Hello everyone, as always, the first signal comes from the U.S. which, at times, I am too hasty to brand a hazardous material for human health.
But this time the grapevine is strong and it seems that the polycarbonates, commonly used for various products for food, as some beverage containers, plastic cutlery and food containers for storing highly hazardous substances release for the human race.
Li acknowledges that the products made with plastics that are rigid and bear the number 7 (symbol below) and the "PC" on the bottom. While PET is more soft and bears the number 1, when the PET studies do not show any migration of hazardous substances.
seems that polycarbonate containers that use epoxy resins (for example, cans of food) issue the BPA, or bisphenol A, which was detected in the urine of 93% of the subjects examined by the government's CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). Disturbing, and a sign that there is no willingness of the authorities.
about the dangers of BPA dangerous or not there is still no scientific consensus, and there are indications of a possible carcinogenic effect beyond certain doses, so if you want to be cautious, avoid plastic products that bear the number 7.
A strong signal that supports the analysis set out above, is also dall'Esselunga who put on the market, with its own brand, without a transparent PVC film.
Avoid especially the kettle and plastic bottles for children.
Laboratory tests on mice, the results are truly devastating.
