Two poisonous substances in Chinese heat-keeping bottles kill people very quickly

Asbestos and heavy metals in the thermos bottle cause many different cancers and destroy organs very quickly.

In recent days, information about Chinese heat storage tanks containing toxic and poor quality asbestos capable of causing disease , especially cancer is worrying many people. Accordingly, the Chinese government last week issued a recommendation to consumers about Chinese heat storage containers containing carcinogens.

This is the result of an experiment conducted by the Research & Quality Assurance Institute in Jiangsu Province, China, in collaboration with the same field in late February. Experimental results show that China-made heat-storage containers contain asbestos fibers that are extremely toxic to humans.

During the experiment, the experts contained pure water and juice in two samples of the same type of thermos bottle. After a while, the heavy metal content in juice increased dramatically and exceeded the allowable limit. Analysis of pure water samples does not show a similar phenomenon.

The product of thermos does not meet the quality standards are "uncovered" in the experiment.

Thus, there are two issues that are harmful to human health that need to be discussed in the recommendation of not using the Chinese government's thermos. That is the impact of asbestos fibers and heavy metal content exceeding the permitted level . To further analyze this issue, many experts have warned people to give up and not use these types of bottles.

Assessing the harmful effects of asbestos on human health, Dr. Tran Tuan - Head of the Standing Committee of the Union of Health Policy Advocates, who has a lot of voices to remove asbestos from life and birth. Human activity said: "WHO has shown that asbestos causes lung, larynx and ovarian cancer, mesothelioma (a type of lung and peritoneal cancer) and asbestosis (pulmonary fibrosis). Asbestos-related diseases are preventable, and the most effective way to prevent these diseases is to stop using all forms of asbestos to prevent exposure. "

Dr. Tran Tuan is talking about carcinogens found in asbestos.

According to Dr. Tuan, Vietnam is currently the most used group of asbestos in the world, due to the fact that people cannot recognize asbestos in what materials should be used and exposed. without knowing that you are exposed to a source of cancer.

Particularly about heavy metal problems in stainless steel tanks suddenly increased when containing fruit juice, Dr. Tran Thi Phuong Thao - Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, said heavy metals can react with acids Organic in fruit juice and metal salt. The dangerous thing is that these salts dissolve in water and enter the body to be toxic to the body .

According to experts, most of the thermos are made of stainless steel, in fact this is a form of alloy of some heavy metals such as Chromium (Cr), Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni). Therefore, if the stainless steel is made of good materials, the quality will be safe and can be used to store food.

However, for Chinese thermo flasks, the quality of materials as the above study has shown is not guaranteed to cause many dangers. Accordingly, it (heavy metal) can produce reactions with organic acids in fruit juice and metal salts. The danger is that these salts dissolve in water and enter the body, causing toxicity to the body, especially the gastrointestinal tract, where first and direct contact with this poison is.

Also related to this issue, responding to Health and Life newspaper Prof. Dr. Nguyen Hai Nam - Head of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department (Hanoi University of Pharmacy) said that people should not use bottles in stainless steel as well as thermos in stainless steel to contain water containing many acids such as fruit juice, tea.

Because these waters will stimulate the release of heavy metals in stainless steel, leading to chemical reactions that create carcinogens. Professor Nam noted, the housewives should absolutely not use stainless steel jars or large plastic jars to soak different types of fruit year after year such as apricot juice, strawberry juice, cat apple juice . By all kinds Fruit with a lot of acid will react with the compounds of stainless steel and plasticizer of plastic, forming poison. This toxin causes users to get cancer.
