"Swish!" With a simple tear, food freshness is preserved. In the eyes of many homemakers, plastic wrap is an indispensable kitchen helper. However, to enhance adhesion and ease of use, some plastic wraps contain large amounts of an invisible human health hazard—plasticizers.
How can we avoid the harm caused by plasticizers leaching from plastic wrap? There are many methods, and the latest one involves using a "deodorizing storage box" made with nano-mineral magnetic wave energy. Combining nanotechnology with freshness preservation, this storage box is an interdisciplinary innovation. Placing food inside induces nuclear magnetic resonance in the food molecules, maintaining freshness and extending shelf life. Experimental results show that compared to ordinary storage containers, the "deodorizing storage box" significantly prolongs food freshness and reduces the likelihood of mold or spoilage.
Many people believe that avoiding high temperatures when using plastic wrap can prevent ingesting toxic substances. However, plasticizers are lipophilic, meaning they easily leach out upon contact with oils. Therefore, the public should avoid letting PVC-based plastic wraps come into contact with oily parts of food, rather than just focusing on high temperatures.
Scholars have stated: "Plasticizers possess reproductive toxicity. Pregnant women in Taiwan have some of the highest concentrations of plasticizers in their bodies globally. High plasticizer levels in pregnant women can lead to decreased thyroid hormone levels, indirectly affecting fetal central nervous system development—a major concern. Additionally, plasticizers tend to release toxic substances into food as temperatures rise. Unknowingly consuming these substances can lead to risks such as infertility, congenital defects in newborns, feminization of male children, and even cancer." While using plastic wrap to pack meals, we must exercise greater caution to prevent misguided practices from impacting the health of future generations.
