Preface
Food is very important to human beings, and in the process of evolution, there are many ways to cook, and a good pot is also crucial.
However, it is such a bite of things that people often come into contact with in their lives, but it has been "exposed" by CCTV, and the "poisonous iron pot" has gradually been understood by everyone.
CCTV exposes "poisonous iron pot"
The frequency of use of iron pots in people's daily life is very large, especially in rural areas, some elderly people or elders, they will be more inclined to use large iron pots with simple and convenient shapes.
And then it's so ordinary that the daily utensils have caused a big sensation, it turned out that in 2013, a news about Jiangxi appeared on TV, and this news mainly revolves around the iron pot.
It turned out to be some black-hearted processing workshops, who collected iron products from chemical waste and made them into iron pots for stir-frying and cooking, which suddenly turned ordinary tools into poisonous.
It is difficult to imagine what kind of harm chemical products can cause if they enter the human body in this way, and what serious consequences will they cause?
In the CCTV news program, the reporter also saw the processing process of the entire black workshop, you know, if it is a normal channel, the raw material of the iron pot is obtained iron, although the price is not very "expensive".
However, compared with the iron collected through chemical waste, it is thousands of yuan more expensive, and the price of a pot is also the consumption level of ordinary people, and those black-hearted bosses choose to take risks and choose "toxic waste" to obtain more "profits".
As the reporter came from the picture from the front, it was obvious that the black-hearted workshops were in very poor sanitary conditions, almost all of them were far away from the city, and the surroundings looked very empty.
In the yard, there are many colored discarded iron buckets, and the iron buckets are marked with some chemical components, and there are even some toxic ingredients, and these are the toxic raw materials they collected.
Don't underestimate a small iron pot, its sales volume is also very amazing, according to relevant statistics, a discarded iron bucket, can produce 10 iron pots, if a village is doing such a "business".
So in a year, the production of iron pots can even reach about 500,000, and a family, there may be one or two iron pots, so how many families will such a huge amount of iron pots enter.
Especially in rural areas, many elderly people will choose to use iron pots to cook food, and they don't know the doorways of these black-hearted workshops, so there is a high chance that they will buy "toxic iron pots", often use them to cook food, and finally there will be various problems in the body.
Exactly where the "poison" is
In the process of making an iron pot with a chemical waste barrel, although the harm to some chemicals will be reduced, more harmful substances will seep into the raw materials, including lead, manganese and other harmful substances.
The intake of heavy metals will also cause certain harm to the human body, once ingested for a long time, even the human body will have many pathological symptoms, such as dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, and so on.
And the harm caused by these chemical raw materials is not only that, you must know that in the cooking environment, in addition to high temperature and acidity and alkalinity changes, these have the ability to decompose many heavy metals.
If the iron pot made of harmful substances is used, in serious cases, it can even cause some cardiovascular diseases, and excessive intake of heavy metals will also endanger life.
For a series of black-box operations made by black-hearted workshops, China News website also published a related article on January 14, 2013, in which we can see that the whole thing involves a lot of black-hearted workshops, even as high as 9.
The exposure of the video has made many consumers who have been kept in the dark more vigilant, especially when buying iron pots, they will carefully distinguish them, especially those who have elderly people in the family, and they should also pay more attention.
Originally, due to the change of age, the old man will have some diseases in his body more or less, if he still uses the food made by the poison pot for a long time, then the harm to the body, there is no way to imagine, so how can you tell whether it is a "poisonous iron pot"?
How to identify
Any item in the market, the circulation of goods has a certain hard standard, on the one hand, in order to maintain the order of the market, on the other hand, but also to protect the life safety of consumers, and the large iron pot as an iron product.
In fact, it is also a kind of metal, and the quality and safety of the iron pot should be paid more attention, you must know that the problem of the iron pot appeared on the market is not a case or two, there have been similar things in Shanghai before, fortunately, the relevant departments investigated it for the first time, when I chose the iron pot.
In addition to paying attention to quality, we should also pay attention to the reputation of related brands, whether it is trustworthy, in addition, frequent replacement of iron pots is also a way to improve food safety, if the pot will occur for a long time, there will be a series of problems.
As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for" in the market will have a variety of price goods, you must keep your eyes open to choose, and many pots and pans will bring a "ID card" that is, its certificate, with this protection, consumers can also use it with peace of mind.
And it is also very important to judge the quality of the iron pot through the sense of smell, you must know that those large iron buckets impregnated with chemicals, even if they are processed into iron pots.
However, long-term soaking will also leave a lot of pungent and unpleasant smells, which can also be used as a basis for distinguishing when buying, and in some rural places, there will be such a perception that "the iron pot can replenish iron", but this is not the case, although the iron pot will release some iron elements in the process of heating food.
But those iron elements are not what our human body needs, they are completely opposite concepts, and they still need to be obtained through some food, not pots.
summary
Treat it scientifically and distinguish it seriously, and hope that the "iron pot" that will enter thousands of households is not "toxic", and if there is any problem, you must seek medical attention in time.
