It's almost summer, and many parents will choose to use plastic cups for their children.
Because in the summer children can drink water can not need to keep warm, and plastic cups are not easy to break, plus the style of plastic cups has more choices, the price is also relatively close to the people, so many parents will choose to use plastic cups for their children.
CCTV released a comparative experiment of the Jiangsu Consumer Association on children's plastic drinking cups, and purchased 50 samples from 37 brands in physical stores and online, with prices ranging from 4.9 yuan to 135 yuan, and carried out relevant tests in accordance with national standards.
Of these, 6% of the samples were unqualified, which means that three samples were unqualified.
The unqualified mainly is the acrylonitrile monomer exceeding the standard, acrylonitrile is a toxic and highly hazardous chemical.
Experts remind: when the child holds this plastic water cup with acrylonitrile exceeding the standard to drink water, acrylonitrile will be ingested into the body at high temperatures, and serious may cause the child to convulse and coma.
It is equivalent to a child being chronically poisoned every day.
Use a plastic cup to give the child water, several misunderstandings to avoid, otherwise let the baby drink "poisonous water" every day
Myth 1: Choose the cheaper one
I remember going on a business trip and going to a small county town, but the cup fell on the car, and I wanted to buy one at random in the supermarket.
I was stunned to see the price of the water cup in the supermarket, a large plastic cup is only 9 yuan 9, and I was still complacent about buying one.
Later, when I saw these evaluation videos, I was scared out of a cold sweat, but fortunately I only used that plastic cup a few times.
Cheap plastic cups, the materials it uses may be some of the cheaper materials, cheap plastic materials may contain acrylonitrile, harmful to health.
It is recommended to choose a plastic cup for your child again, and choose a plastic cup of PP material as much as possible.
Myth 2: Give your child a plastic cup to save milk
It is recommended that children should consider drinking milk from a cup when they are about one and a half years old, because drinking milk from a bottle for a long time will hurt the child's dental health.
Give your child a plastic cup to drink milk, choose a plastic cup of PP materials, and do not take a plastic cup to save milk, because the fat and protein content of milk is relatively high, and it is not appropriate to use a plastic cup to save.
Myth 3: Give your child a plastic cup of juice or some carbonated drink
Fruit juice, carbonated drinks contain some acidic substances, these acidic substances, will corrode the components of plastic, resulting in some toxic and harmful substances precipitated out, children drink it will harm the health of the body.
Myth 4: Put a plastic cup in the microwave
The plastic cup is in the microwave oven, which can easily release various toxic and harmful substances and harm the health of the child's body.
Myth 5: Plastic cups are disinfected in disinfection cabinets
The child's plastic cup is not recommended to be often placed in the plastic cup for disinfection, and after the child is three years old, his cup is actually boiled with boiling water, and there is no need to often put it in the disinfection cabinet to disinfect.
Children have to drink about 600 ml of water a day, if the cup used to drink water is not safe, it is likely to cause the child to drink water every day is poisonous, which will harm the health of the child's body.
It is recommended that the child's plastic cup choose PP material or PPSU material.
Many families like to put a tank of water on the car, and the water bottle filled with mineral water or distilled water uses the disposable raw material PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and the heat-resistant temperature is about 70 ° C.
If the car is often placed outdoors for exposure, sometimes the temperature in the car may be more than 70 degrees, which will cause these mineral water bottles to release toxic and harmful substances, and then give children to drink these waters is not conducive to good health.
Therefore, it is recommended to take children out of the house, as far as possible or carry their own cup of water will be safer.
