Even in the west, there are hot fast foods served or microwaved in plastic containers.

Ignorance they say is a disease.

Absolutely! TRUE! have always known. some times folks boil or heat this plastic containers numerous times wash and reuse it numerous times too thereby making it even more lethal.

After all the information the OP just dished out... You can't possibly be serious, right?

RichYoungNigger:
Why are you lying ??
Only the ignorant folks will believe this.

Do you know what coca cola is made of ??

Just pour some coca cola, fanta, sprite on a rusted iron or a dirty surface, you will see how it will clean the rusted iron or dirty surface out.
Do you know what the same coca cola does to your internal organs and intestine ??

I'm not that dumb to believe what you just wrote

Gbam!
abeg my brother tell am make him hear, no be today bombom dey for back

Many Decades ago, the word Cancer seemed isolated; restricted to some faraway lands abroad but not common in Africa and most especially, not in Nigeria. But nowadays, cancer has become very prevalent on these shores and has taken the lives of many prominent Africans and Nigerians alike. In this series, we would be looking at what has changed and what we might be doing wrong which we weren’t doing back then that has now led to a spike in the number of cancer cases and as a result, cancer deaths in Nigeria.

Have you ever had this in a fast food restaurant in Nigeria before? If yes, you should desist. You want to know why? Okay, here is why:

In days of old, beans pudding also known as moi moi used to be prepared in leaves. Leaves are organic, natural and harmless. They even give a nice flavour to the beans pudding when cooked.

But today in most places, they are prepared in plastic containers and people still gobble it up, oblivious of the inherent dangers of this modern practice.

Plastics are hydrocarbon.

To explain what this means to the lay man, plastics are gotten from crude-oil; just like your petrol, diesel and engine oil.

When plastics are heated, they release chemicals and these chemicals get into the food that the plastics are used to cook like the beans pudding, moi moi for example. Most of these plastics contain a chemical known as Bisphenol A also known as BPA. When you heat the plastics- as with any stable chemical composition, it becomes unstable and releases these chemicals.

As a rule, DO NOT heat any plastic container with food in it or cause it to become hot e.g by leaving it in the sun.

Although, in advanced countries, there are BPA-free plastics being widely used because of the dangers of ordinary plastics, you can be sure that the plastic used for your moi moi is not BPA-free as BPA-free plastic is not cheap so you cannot buy your moi moi for N250 and expect it to be in BPA-free plastic.

So, as a precaution know these:

There are so many different types of plastics with different uses for each but avoid heating all types of plastics. Including the ones that say on it, “microwave-safe”, “dishwasher safe” etc. Plastics are plastics.

When you want to warm food you kept in plastic in the freezer, put the food in a ceramic bowl, pot or pan before warming it- and that includes the quick warming we do by putting water in a pot and warming the food inside the container that was used to freeze it. (Yes, we know about that)

Take extra care if pregnant as these plastic chemicals affect the unborn child.

Be safe till next time. Bye.

Make I hear word joor.
By d way, if you have hot moi-moi there, pls pass am come my side.

dadee007:

Yes, tin can be used if it is made specially for that purpose like the tins made to make cakes etc. But if it is a disused tin like the one you removed sardines from etc, those actually have the walls coated with BPA or Epoxy resin which is what you are trying to avoid in the first place.

What of Moi Moi inside foil ?

WhoDeyThere:
so water from overhead tank are not safe too. in since they r plastic too.

Did you read the part where the OP was referring to the word 'HEATED'??

Op, u ar wrong. Plastics only emit those chemicals when they are dry-heated. When they are heated in water(wet heating), they don't emit those chemicals cos water inhibits the emission. Have you ever poured water inside a nylon bag and try to heat it on naked flames? You will be suprised that the water will boil without the nylon bag melting. So mr op, get your info straight before you post it here or elsewhere.

What of those wrapped and cooked in foils? Op please clarify on this if their is any dangers to be worried about...

This is true!!

Isoni:
They now tie okpa with inside nylon, the devil is a liar

The thing dey vex me wella.

The one without nylon taste better. I avoid the ones with nylon.

very TRUE even some plastic water bottles. they have different qualities (grade) next time you buy a plastic bottle of water look at the bottom end you will find a number sign written on it indicating the Grade of the bottle.

wow.. This is inciting. I never actually thought of this until now.

very very serious my guy, it is when you start believing in those bulshit, you'll start get fvcked up with them.

I don't fvcking believe in them, cos av been eating moi moi with peakmilk container and nylon for the past 27yrs now and I'm still waxing stronger

If you go by the amount of foods that medical experts said not to eat because of the risk of one disease or another you will be eating green leafs like a goat for the rest of your life.

Meat because of cancer, rice because of diabetes, eggs high cholesterol, fish is contaminated with mercury, poultry because of high blood pressure and on and on it goes.

As long as you eat everything in moderation and live a physically active life, you should be ok.

Na where dem dey sell dis moi-moi leave for Abuja sef? All we get is moi-moi Nylon.
