Carcinogenic bottles and packaging?

(Some scientists believe that it is possible that chemicals being used in bottling and packaging products can cause cancer risks to users.

They think it is necessary to have new studies on the effects of more than 4000 bottled-packaging chemicals on the human body as well as the development of the embryo.

Scientists warn there is a link between chemicals with diseases such as obesity, diabetes and neurological disorders.

However, many other scientists criticize that these are just confusing judgments to consumers.

Jane Muncke scientists, John Peterson Myers, Martin Scheringer and Miquel Porta called for an investigation into the health risks that food packaging caused during the commentary in the Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health. .

Lifelong exposure

Many chemicals that they believe are at risk of causing cancer like Formaldehyde are used in a variety of materials, such as bottled carbonated beverages and food drinks.

The researchers said that the risks of lifelong exposure to these chemicals have not been recorded.

This research has caused controversy among scientists as well as consumer confusion as they are interacting with chemicals on a daily basis, and calls for research have caused criticism.

Dr Musgrave, a University of Adelaide Senior Pharmacist, said: "It's hard to say exactly that formaldehyde in plastic bottles can cause cancer . Formaldehyde is present in many natural foods, for consumption. The amount of this substance in an apple you need to drink up to 20 liters of bottled water in plastic bottles, if formaldehyde has the potential to cause cancer, we put that danger on fresh fruits and vegetables' , he said. know more.

High fat level

Jon Ayres, professor of Environment and Respiratory Medicine at Birmingham University, said that it is undeniable that consuming a higher amount of some substances may cause harm, but how to identify and determine the amount of influence of each substance.

Dr. Oliver Jones, RMIT University lecturer in Melbourne, Australia, said: 'New studies are always welcome when they are based on the scientists' perspective. I am concerned that the level of fat, sugar, and salt in many processed foods now poses a risk to human health rather than chemicals from packaging. '
