Kennitrust:
so drinking of pure water and bottles water (like Eva water) should stop. Is that what u are insinuating? Pls be to fix the answer, thanks.
No! eva water from the bottle is okay, the one i meant is the ones people drink from nylon "pure water" (i wonder how they know its pure) were they bite the nylon open and drink from a small hole. grin grin comprende?

Nylon 6,6 is hazardous to the living thing. When nylon is heated it gets converted to nylon 6,6!This then bio-accumulates and later bio-magnify;this would then lead to cancerous growth in the living system.
oga nylon is a polymeric material mostly used for producing fabric, strings, ropes and such other things. polyethene, polystyrene and PET are the ones mainly used for food packaging and not nylon!!! loosely, we refer to polyethene shopping bags and packaging as nylon in Nigeria although that's wrong.

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

The earlier you believe the better for you. someone just exposed the untold truth its left for you to do your research properly, you get some YouTube videos of coke. bro I don't doubt it but believe me if those people eat moi moi wrapped in poly bags of plastics they'd do the video too and maybe you'll believe em. let me blow your mind. the air you breathe is very dirty and dangerous too especially if you live in a place like Lagos. you can quote me but first do your research bro grin

oseiwe:

dadee007,
is the above quote true? if yes, then what shall we do to our overhead water tanks?

Well, the claim is that they are made of better natural non-toxic materials (UV and heat resistant).

Some plastics are actually BPA-free, but BPA is not the only harmful chemical to watch out for.

Another thing about research and science is, we don't know what we'll find out tomorrow.

Presently, the most sensitive and suspect are the common bottled water and polythene (sachet) -- they are more susceptible to degradation by heat and reuse -- actually they should never be reused.

Relatively, your overhead tank should be safer; covering it with a thick shade (even though they can withstand higher temperatures) would do it a whole world of good! Actually I would say you shouldn't ever be drinking water from it if it is not shaded.

It better not be cancer. Probably you've not seen cancer destroy anyone close to you.

It is one of the worst way to die!
Re: Moi Moi The Silent Killer by Stevosty: 9:27pm On Apr 27, 2016
When you say moi moi in leaves, what kind of leaves? I know some can be poisonous, moi moi in rusty tin is safe shey? I tot plastics are product of rubber, rubber are gotten from rubber trees. Op next you post something like this, post a research paper link to it and stop giving us the impression nylon moi moi causes cancer with no empirical proof. As if the moi moi is eaten with the nylon, when chew gum is a product of rubber.

Synthetic fabrics are actually bad for you.

TOP 6 TOXIC FABRICS
1. Polyester is the worst fabric you can buy. It is made from synthetic polymers that are made from esters of dihydric alcohol and terpthalic acid.

2. Acrylic fabrics are polycrylonitriles and may cause cancer, according to the EPA.

3. Rayon is recycled wood pulp that must be treated with chemicals like caustic soda, ammonia, acetone and sulphuric acid to survive regular washing and wearing.

4. Acetate and Triacetate are made from wood fibers called cellulose and undergo extensive chemical processing to produce the finished product.

5. Nylon is made from petroleum and is often given a permanent chemical finish that can be harmful.

6. Anything static resistant, stain resistant, permanent press, wrinkle-free, stain proof or moth repellant. Many of the stain resistant and wrinkle-free fabrics are treated with perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), like Teflon.

MODERN MATERIALS
Keep in mind that many fabrics (including natural fibers) undergo significant processing that often involves:

Detergents
Petrochemical dyes
Formaldehyde to prevent shrinkage
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Dioxin-producing bleach
Chemical fabric softeners
These additives are often toxic to the human body, may contain heavy metals and can pollute our environment.

With these kinds of warnings, what can you do?

If you are chemically sensitive or just want to surround yourself with healthy fabrics, there are new options.

Doris Brunza, a fashion designer who worked in the Garment District in New York City for 20 years, knows about finding fabrics that don't cause reactions, because she is chemically sensitive.

She points out that nearly ALL fabrics, including organic fabric, are treated with chemicals at some point during their processing. Still, some choices are better than others.

In general, look for natural fibers like:

Cotton
Silk
Linen
Hemp
Wool
Cashmere

lolz, nylon is a generic name for them all. That is why packing materials are as well referred to as nylon. They are both polymeric in nature and made from hydrocarbons of repeated units.

I perfectly overstand what the OP is saying, my point is even if you don't eat moi moi prepared in plastic there are still a million and one other things or food that allegedly causes cancer. Even your cell phone can cause cancer, other household products like television and computers allegedly emit cancer causing radiation. So basically life itself is a risk and you cannot run from death forever only God grants long life and good health.

God also grants Wisdom.

I agree that this is not the only cancer causing practice but even the foods that are now causing cancer have been altered by human beings. The devices that emit cancer causing rays from microwaves, cell phone ect are all man made.

Yes there is always risk but why not reduce it as much as you can?

Nylon is a generic designation for a family of
synthetic polymers , more specifically aliphatic
or semi-aromatic polyamides. They can be
melt-processed into fibers, films or shapes.
The first example of nylon (nylon 66) was
produced on February 28, 1935, by Wallace
Carothers at DuPont 's research facility at the
DuPont Experimental Station. Nylon
polymers have found significant commercial
applications in fibers (apparel, flooring and
rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded
parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and
in films (mostly for food packaging).

I initiated habit of drinking plenty of water since 2007. So it not about my health but the side effect of the nylon that very regular on my daily life.
