In our daily life, there are some unexpected common items that are also slowly harming our liver, especially the following.
1. All kinds of plastic products
General plastic products with synthetic resin as the main raw material, while containing polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), plasticizer, etc.
Polyethylene terephthalate (polyethylene terephthalate), a material commonly used in drinking water bottles, still releases carcinogens after 10 months of use, a study has found. Long-term use of plastic products, but also easy to lead to increased intake of plasticizers, and then damage to the liver.
To this end, it is recommended that you choose reusable pockets (such as canvas bags), and use glass or stainless steel products as drinking water containers. As long as everyone can reduce the use of plastic products, it will definitely reduce the probability of contact between plastic and human body.
2. Inferior makeup
The composition of cosmetics is complex, including solvents, emulsifiers, surfactants, pigments, flavors, etc. Some inferior cosmetics often contain harmful heavy metals, such as mercury and lead. Some products in order to achieve rapid effect of the purpose, and even doped with hormones.
In addition, some hair products contain parabens. This is a preservative-like substance that can extend the shelf life of products.
Sodium lauryl sulfate/sodium dodecyl sulfate (SLS) is a kind of surfactant that can produce abundant foam.
Inferior nail polish sends out strong odor, be ketone kind and aldehyde kind organic solvent and plasticizer volatilize result.
Prolonged exposure to these chemicals in large doses can lead to the accumulation of harmful substances in the body, causing liver damage and even cancer.
3. Cheap clothes in bright colors
Brightly colored clothing is mostly made by chemical dyeing. Among them, some cheap inferior product on the dye will release the carcinogen aromatic amine.
Aromatic amines are known as "hidden in the drugs in the dress", more exist in clothes, bed color dyes or hair dye.
The harmful components of these dyes are absorbed into the skin during long-term contact with the human body.
Under special conditions, the relevant harmful components will be further decomposed to produce more than 20 kinds of carcinogenic aromatic amines, forming aromatic amine compounds, which can cause lesions and induce malignant tumors, especially to the liver, bladder, kidney and other organs, which will cause irreversible damage.
4. Moldy kitchen items
The kitchen recorded each family's three meals a day and changes in life. However, SWEET kitchen, also CAN hide hurt LIVER SOMETIMES "MURDERER"!
Many people like to cook at home. For kitchen utensils such as cutting boards, chopsticks, spatulas, as long as they are not broken, they are not willing to replace them for several years or even ten years.
Many of these items are made of wood, which sounds healthy and looks textured. However, if they are used for a long time and washed many times, the water content of many wooden items will increase, which will become a breeding ground for bacteria.
To put it bluntly, it is easy to mold.
The worst is Aspergillus flavus. The fungus produces aflatoxin, a highly toxic substance. If people take aflatoxin for a long time, the probability of suffering from liver cancer will increase significantly.
Moldy wood products are boiled in boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius for more than 5 minutes to achieve a better disinfection effect.
It is suggested that the commonly used kitchen supplies should be cleaned and disinfected in time, kept dry and replaced regularly.
