Plastics are not only a time bomb for the planet but also present a present threat to human health. Some chemicals found in plastic packaging, toys, food containers, etc. they are highly dangerous for our health. The chemicals in these containers can promote cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders.
There are many factors that can cause tumors in everyday life, food is the first source, especially foods rich in fat. Studies show that these food substances increase the risk of colon cancer exponentially.
It is not only food that constitutes a danger to our health, the packaging in which it is contained can also be a threat. Some substances present in plastic threaten our endocrine system and prolonged exposure of the body to these elements can lead to serious pathologies. This was revealed by a report by the Endocrine Society and the International Pollutants Elimination Network. This study illustrates the results of 20 years of research on chemicals contained in plastics.
The chemicals in these containers can promote cancer, diabetes, and neurological disorders
We all know that plastic is a timed threat to our planet and more or less we are all aware of it. The one thing we pay less attention to is that plastics are not just a threat to generations to come. Plastic material and its derivatives threaten our health even in the present. And they also create dangers for the health of the children who are to be born. In fact, the chemicals contained in plastics can create neurological disorders during the development of fetuses and children. This was stated in the Plastics, EDCs & Health report, which collected and analyzed 20 years of scientific research, with dramatic and very worrying results.
According to this extensive and in-depth study, plastic contains some chemicals that are harmful to our endocrine system. These substances are called Endocrin Disruptors Chemicals (EDC). Many common plastics including those used in toys and food packaging and food containers contain EDCs. Prolonged exposure to these substances creates dangers for our hormonal system. In particular, it can lead to serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes and developmental disorders of fetuses and children.
The report states that plastic contains at least 140 EDCs that are potentially very dangerous for our health. The most common and also the most dangerous are dioxins, lead and cadmium, alkiphenols and bisphenols.
