The toxic side of the kitchen Surely you did not think that atmosphere of the house could be both beneficial and harmful to your health instead. Yes, since they have found some dangers that contain some materials such as Teflon and plastics, but also the problem of poor cooking food. Find out more in the following article. The dangers of modern cuisine If we have to name the most harmful to our health materials and our family, thats the Teflon. Yes, one of the most popular because it has the ability to not stick foods to cook or fry. Teflon was invented in 1938 by the multinational DuPont and although we believe it is El Salvador kitchen, the truth is that it is made with materials and very harmful objects. It also has other applications such as spacecraft component, cable sheathing, medical prostheses, paints, varnishes, contact lenses, spacesuits, motors, waterproofing membranes, among others. kitchen2 The danger of Teflon is because its main component, PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid, also called C-8), indestructible and cumulative. In 1961 DuPont was aware that this material does not decompose in the environment and causes cancer, infertility, liver problems, hypothyroidism, malformations in fetuses, etc. However, you will not mind too much and continued pouring its factory waste into the waters and smoke into the atmosphere. PFOA has been found in rivers, lakes, seas, water, plants and even in the blood of 95% of people worldwide. Moreover, using Teflon is bad for health because the surface deteriorates and is not stable, so that it adheres to the foods we eat then. The toxicity of this element when heated to over 160 ° is such that it can even kill a small animal, like a bird. In addition, we found PFOA in packages of chips, burgers, popcorn, etc. And until it has been confirmed that increases the rates of triglycerides and cholesterol. burger The second element that is not good in the kitchen is plastic, which now has millions of applications in everyday life but its production process is very polluting, besides being little recyclable or biodegradable. The plastic contains substances that act as hormone disruptors in the body. This means that interfere with the functions of this system, causing disturbances (mainly in children and fetuses), especially in flexible plastic containers, cans and packages of prepared food. Foods have contact with this element and this is even worse when warmed in the microwave. This happens every day in thousands of households who order or buy cooked food and take away the cold with this appliance, which by the way, it is also bad for our health by waves generated to heat.
