With the acceleration of the pace of life, many people generally order takeout for convenience to solve three meals, which inevitably leads to the emergence of disposable tableware. Disposable tableware has made many people convenient, but can disposable tableware be used for a long time?
Disposable paper bowls cannot be used for a long time, because in order to achieve the water-proof effect, a layer of polyethylene water-proof film will be applied to the inner wall of disposable paper bowls. Polyethylene is a safe chemical substance in food processing. However, if the selected materials are not good or the processing technology is not up to standard, the polyethylene may be oxidized into carbonyl compounds during the process of hot melting or applying to paper cups.
Carbonyl compounds are not easy to volatilize at room temperature, but when hot water is poured into paper cups, they may evaporate, so people will smell a strange smell. Another water-proof substance, wax, will dissolve in water when it exceeds 40 degrees, and long-term use is very harmful to the body. Paper cups and paper bowls made by some workshops look white and clean, but in fact, this is because fluorescent whitening agents are added; on some disposable paper bowls, talcum powder can even be felt. Frequent use of these paper bowls will bring harm to human health.
So what mothers say about eating takeout affecting health is reasonable. It is not necessarily the takeout that affects health, but the disposable tableware used to hold the takeout that affects health, so everyone should try to reduce its use.
