China's high incidence of cancer, is the fault of detergent? Reminder: these two kinds of detergents should really be used sparingly
Dishwashing liquid can be said to be a must-have cleaning product in every kitchen, especially for cleaning heavy oily tableware, the effect is better. But there are also many claims about detergent, some claim that long-term exposure to residual detergent is likely to cause cancer. What's more, the high incidence of cancer in China is attributed to the excessive use of detergent. Is that really true?
1. The high incidence of cancer is the "wrong" of detergent?
The main component of dishwashing detergent is surfactant , which is an organic compound that can remove grease from tableware and reduce pesticide residues on the surface of fruits and vegetables.
Many people worry that detergents will cause cancer, but in the final analysis, they are worried about the safety of surfactants.
Some researchers have found that anionic surfactants and non-ionic surfactants, which are widely used, do not have the risk of cancer. Moreover, the products in the detergent category are already products with relatively mature R&D technology , and relevant market departments will also conduct regular spot checks, and the pass rate is almost 100%.
Second, the detergent is afraid of residue, how many times can it be rinsed?
A reporter from the Wannan Morning Post once conducted an experiment with some experts. The researchers randomly purchased 3 different types of dishwashing liquid, and simulated our daily method of washing tableware to monitor the residue of dishwashing liquid.
The results found that the residual amount of detergent in the three samples was above 0.1mg/cm² in the first rinse, and the residual amount of detergent in the three samples decreased significantly in the second rinse. It dropped to less than 0.1mg/cm², and when rinsed more than five times, the residual amount of detergent in the three samples was only 0.01mg/cm².
The national standard stipulates that the residual amount of detergent and other products should be below 0.1mg/cm² , so if you want to reduce the harm caused by the residue of detergent, you need to rinse at least 2 times or more , of course, no more than five times, after all, more than The residual amount of the five times is the same as the five times.
3. Use less of these two kinds of detergents
Using dishwashing liquid to clean tableware is undoubtedly effective. After all, all kinds of greasy stains cannot be removed with water only, but the following kinds of dishwashing liquids must be used sparingly.
1. Bulk
The Shenzhen Institute of Quality and Consumption conducted an experimental study and tested 10 types of detergents used in different restaurants. It was found that the total number of colonies in some bulk detergents exceeded the standard by 47 times, which is very unsafe and may cause secondary pollution of tableware. . There are also PH values exceeding the standard, strong alkaline, and easy to damage the skin. In addition, there are some defects such as low total active substance content, poor use effect, unenvironmental protection, poor decontamination ability, and more actual cost.
2. Fragrance detergent
Previously, a patient was hospitalized in shock due to smelling scented detergent. It turns out that the patient is allergic, and smelling too strong a scent will induce potential asthma or allergic symptoms, so it is recommended not to buy it normally. Detergents with strong fragrance can cause respiratory discomfort.
Detergent is an essential daily necessities for cleaning. As long as you choose regular channels to buy brand detergent products and rinse it several times, you don't have to worry about cancer or damage to your health. However, it is recommended not to buy bulk detergents or detergents with too strong fragrance, both of which are not good for your health.
