according to the Shandong radio and television station public channel "people's livelihood" report, tea is the same tea, bubble in glass and paper cups are two flavors, this is why? The original is the woe of paper cups.
paper cups contain heavy metals which are harmful to human body, which will damage people's kidneys and cause cancer. The paper cup in your home is safe?
the paper cup is not leaking, because there is a diaphragm on the inner wall of the paper cup, and the water and paper are cut off. What is the diaphragm made of? The reporter has access to the relevant information on the Internet, and found that the paper cups in the wax layer and the present paper have been published on many authoritative websites. The cup is basically a coating material, the main ingredient is PE polyethylene, and the PE polyethylene is harmful to the body? With doubt, our reporter found the Deputy Secretary General of the Ji'nan Food Industry Association, Liu Qingnian.
Liu Qingnian said, "now the cup is basically painted, the plastic film, the PE film must be food grade, sometimes drink water with paper cup taste, maybe because the merchant uses industrial plastic or waste plastic to make PE film, which is not in accordance with the health requirements."
the paper cups sold on the market now, from the cup to the bottom of the cup, are basically full of patterns, color cartoons, landscape paintings, and so on. It is really dazzling, but will the color ink on the paper cup affect human health? According to Liu Qingnian, if the paper cup is produced. Household is environment-friendly ink, processing technology is qualified, ink is not easy to dissolve, then it is harmless to the human body, on the contrary, it is harmful. And some manufacturers will use some recycled materials to make cups. For the sake of the quilt, they will add some fluorescent agents to whiten. If they often use this cup, it will do harm to the human body.
in order to investigate the Ji'nan market, there are no disqualified paper cups, the reporter first came to a wholesale market in Western Ji'nan, where there are many stores selling and wholesale paper cups. The reporter visited these merchants all said their products were qualified and trustworthy products. Then the reporters bought some paper cups in each of these stores, and went back to do the experiment. Some "colored cups" were easy to fade, but some cups were super white.
Liu Qingnian introduced, some paper cup color is very white, may add the fluorescent whitening agent in the production process, if the dose reaches a certain degree, may make the human body cell mutation, become the potential carcinogenic factor, and the paper cup use poisonous and inferior ink to print the pattern, drink one or two cups without the problem, Over time, carcinogenic substances may occur, and the body will not be able to bear it.
in June 1st, the national standard of paper cups will be formally implemented. After that, you will have a choice of paper cups. Here, the reporter also finished three points, teaching you how to select qualified cups. First, do you see whether the information marked on the package is full, and whether the production license number and QS logo are marked. Secondly, the printed patterns outside the good paper cups are clear, uniform and without obvious splash. The qualified cups and cups can not be printed from the inside of the cup 15mm, from the bottom of the cup to the 10mm of the cup. Two, pressure. You can use your hand to squeeze gently on both sides of the cup, so you can know the quality of the cup. Generally, high quality paper cups can hold water for 72 hours without leakage, while poor quality will leak for half an hour. Three, smell: whether there is a pungent smell of paper cups, especially the taste of ink, or moldy taste, generally heavier than the smell do not buy. At the same time, experts recommend: when using paper cups, the first cup of water is best not to drink.
