preface
In our lives, we must be inseparable from some daily necessities, such as toilet paper, water cups and other things, these things are used by each of us, so the market is very large.
Therefore, some unscrupulous businesses began to think crookedly in this regard, and sold some inferior products to consumers, which is very likely to threaten the lives and health of consumers, CCTV has exposed 4 kinds of household products, some of which will cause cancer, and many families are still using them!
Poisoned tissues
Toilet paper is a kind of thing that we often use in our lives, whether it is washing hands or eating, going to the toilet, toilet paper must be used, sometimes you will encounter 9 pieces of 9 a big mention of toilet paper in the shopping mall, and some toilet paper costs tens of yuan, the difference is not only because of the brand premium, but also because of the quality.
Be careful to buy cheap toilet paper, because it may be a "toxic tissue" that is harmful to human health, Science and Technology Daily pointed out in an article that some institutions have detected toxic components such as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl in a variety of toilet paper, which are positively correlated with the risk of lung cancer, colorectal cancer and other diseases.
Most of the raw materials of "toxic paper towels" are discarded waste, such as "waste paper", "rags", "rotten gauze", etc., in order to make paper towels whiter and softer, a large number of fluorescent brighteners and industrial talcum powder are illegally added.
"Toxic tissues" may contain formaldehyde, benzene and other toxic ingredients, which will cause greater harm to the human body, you can imagine, if you wipe your mouth with this poisonous tissue, it will cause skin allergies, and in severe cases, it will even cause digestive diseases.
Many people have questions when buying toilet paper, how can we identify the quality of toilet paper? In fact, the easiest way is to see whether the quality is indicated on the outer packaging of toilet paper, according to the superior product> first-class product > qualified product.
In order to save money, many people unknowingly bet on their bodies, after all, their bodies are the most important thing, and they can no longer buy this kind of low-quality toilet paper.
When buying toilet paper, you should also pay more attention to its main material, if it is mainly "virgin wood pulp", you can rest assured to buy, better quality toilet paper, its color is more luster and yellowish, you should pay more attention when purchasing, do not be deceived by its appearance.

Poison gloves
Cheapness and convenience are the biggest selling points of disposable gloves, but under this "good quality and low price" appearance, there are many hidden health risks that are difficult to detect.
What's even more worrying is that in order to reduce production costs, some companies will also use waste materials, which contain a lot of harmful ingredients and pose a potential threat to human health.
Of course, this is not always the case, the common PVC gloves on the market, feel good and cheap, but in fact, it hides a well-known secret inside - plasticizer.
It's a chemical used to make gloves more flexible, but it's also a "culprit" that can affect the body's hormones and even cause cancer.
What is especially terrifying is that if we wear PVC gloves, then this plasticizer has the potential to enter the food, eat it with us, and end up becoming a potential "murderer", posing a threat to our health.
So if these gloves that claim to be made of polyethylene, low-density polyethylene and other materials are "oil-resistant", what is the effect, is it really as good as advertised?
But in fact, the oil-proof effect of this kind of gloves is not as good as advertised, if you are exposed to grease for a long time, the grease will still seep into it, and it may also bring risks to people's health because of the material of the gloves themselves.

Poisoned cutlery
People have to use tableware for three meals a day, and in the supermarket, such tableware can be seen everywhere, because of the fierce market competition, so the major brands of tableware are ingenious.
Of course, the most popular is the ceramic bowl, which may be something that Chinese have loved since ancient times, but ceramic bowls are also good and bad, many things are not real porcelain, but imitation porcelain, but both the appearance and texture are exactly the same as the real one.
Of course, consumers have no other way to verify, many times, fakes are with exquisite patterns to attract customers, according to the relevant departments, this beautifully shaped melamine bowl, the surface decoration is exquisite, in fact, contains melamine.
For this chemical, most people must be no stranger, the previous "poisoned milk powder", it is the culprit that endangers human health, there are many such inferior fake bowls on the market, but the quality is quite good.
Compared with ordinary porcelain bowls, this kind of porcelain bowl is less breakable, and the price is low and the packaging is beautiful, but if this bowl is used for a long time, it can damage the liver, kidneys and other organs, and even cause cancer.
Therefore, we should try to avoid these products, which have relatively low prices, mainly due to the low cost of raw materials and the large number of counterfeit and shoddy products.
When we buy tableware, it is best to choose big brands, so that there is a better guarantee, and in low-priced products, we must look at it to buy it.
In addition, you can also observe whether the bowl is qualified through the parameters marked on the bowl, so that everyone can be more assured when buying.

Poisoned water cup
Nowadays, the thermos cup on the market, whether it is the color or the style, is dizzy, many students in school, will use the thermos cup to fill hot water, but, is your thermos cup really safe?
There are some thermos cups on the market, the quality is not good, and it may even be filled with hot water, but when you drink it, these hot water directly become "poisonous water".
The reason why the "deadly thermos cup" will bring so much harm to people is mainly because the stainless steel material used is unqualified, in daily life, stainless steel will be divided into several grades according to different uses, probably divided into edible grade and inedible grade.
Food-grade stainless steel is mainly used in food processing and other fields, mainly 304, 316 and 430, etc., while non-food-grade stainless steel commonly used in construction projects mainly includes 201, 202 and so on.
The reason why it is divided into food grade and non-food grade is that food grade stainless steel has no heavy metal precipitation during operation, while non-food grade stainless steel is prone to heavy metal precipitation.
From this point, we can see that the production technology of food-grade stainless steel is much better than that of ordinary stainless steel, so the price is also higher.
Some black-hearted manufacturers, in order to save costs, began to use non-food grade stainless steel to manufacture thermos cups, of course, it is not difficult to separate this kind of thermos cups, because ordinary thermos cups will be marked with 304 or 316 steel marks on the inner wall of the thermos cup.
Some companies will also prominently mark the stainless steel varieties used on the outer wall, so when buying stainless steel thermos cups and other stainless steel daily necessities, we should pay attention to whether it is food-grade stainless steel.

Food additives are not a beast
In addition to the safety of these daily necessities, I believe that everyone is very concerned about food safety, and in food safety issues, everyone is most concerned about food safety.
When it comes to food additives, many people will talk about tiger discoloration, thinking that eating it will be bad for the body, but this is not the case, food additives are used to improve the quality of food, or used for food preservative treatment, a chemical synthesis or natural ingredient added to food.
There are more than 2,000 varieties of food additives in 22 categories in mainland China, and now, food additives are used very much in our daily life.
For example, the barreled instant noodles we usually eat, there are potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, etc., their main function is to increase the elasticity and extensibility of the dough, so that the noodles have a soft and elastic taste.
In addition, the canned fruits, Bazhen porridge, jelly, etc. that we often eat also contain aspartame, which is a sweetener that is only used in small amounts in food, so it will not cause much harm to the human body.
Of course, this does not mean that food additives are completely healthy to people, but everything must have a degree, and all behaviors that talk about toxicity regardless of dosage are hooligans.
This is like the brine used to make brine tofu, the brine itself is toxic, but it has been passed down for more than 500 years so far, and the acidulant in cola edible phosphoric acid, in fact, the characteristics of this substance are the same as sulfuric acid, why do we have nothing to do after eating it? The key is the dose.
Of course, if you eat more, you will consume more food additives, which will put a certain amount of pressure on the body's metabolism and organs, which will lead to various diseases.
For example, in daily life, if you consume too much sweetener, then in addition to making you gain weight, high blood sugar will also follow, some food additives may not be much dangerous to adults, but they will cause harm to young babies.
Although different countries have different requirements for food additives, in China, the scope and dosage of food additives are very strict, and we will also crack down on the abuse of food additives and illegal additives.
Therefore, food additives are not a flood beast, from the perspective of their own health, we should recognize its efficacy, but also to avoid those illegal additives to our body harm.
