British media claims that long-term consumption of synthetic chemical packaging foods will affect human health

According to a report by the British media on February 18, environmental scientists have recently warned people that many synthetic chemicals are used in people's food processing, packaging, and storage, but long-term consumption of these foods will affect people's health. The British magazine Epidemiology and Community Health magazine has published this warning, which aims to draw the attention of the British public.

Scientists explained that almost all food packaging bags contain traces of synthetic chemicals that penetrate the food. Although these trace amounts of synthetic chemicals do not have a great impact on human health, if they eat foods containing these trace amounts of synthetic chemicals for a long time, they will have a negative effect on the human body. People do not know how much chemical substances such as formaldehyde are harmful to humans through eating foods packed in plastic bags or stored in plastic boxes, scientists said.

Scientists have also noticed that although people have come to realize that food packaging can cause food safety problems, this does not prevent people from eating foods packed in plastic bags, wrapping paper or boxes. Scientists have once again warned people that if they eat foods packed in food packaging for a long time, they will not only affect their health but also reduce their living standards.

But so far people have not paid enough attention to this issue. If these foods were already eaten during human infants or in the mother’s womb, they may have a negative impact on their lives.

A spokesman for the Food Packaging Association said that at present, some food packaging contains some toxic chemicals and carcinogens. But within the law, these substances can be used to process some food packaging, such as formaldehyde and melamine are widely used in the production of food packaging and carbonated beverage bottles. There are more than 400 chemical substances such as bisphenol A, tributyltin, and phthalates that are often used in the packaging of foods and beverages.

However, in order to meet the needs of stakeholders, science cannot prevent manufacturers from manufacturing and selling these food packages. Consumers still have to contact these chemicals every day without knowing it. Wrote in the magazine.

Scientists also warned that if they are exposed to these chemicals for a long time, they may cause potential cellular changes due to hormonal disruption. Routine toxicological analysis may not find these changes, but they will have a huge impact on human development. They believe that there are major problems with this chemical management mechanism.
