Your intake containers can cause congestive heart failure

After a long day at work, there is nothing better than returning home, starting shoes and ordering a delicious and warm pickup.

But recent research from China suggests that simply setting hot food in plastic intake containers can give you heart problems – even if you do not microwave it.

The researchers conducted experiments on mice, exposing them to water that were boiled and placed in plastic lids for taking for different duration – one, five and 15 minutes – for a period of three months.

The results were alarming – no matter how long the plastic had been in contact with the hot fluid, the rats suffered significant disruptions in the intestinal bioma, including inflammation, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Researchers also discovered significant damage to the myocardine-or heart muscle-led them to conclude that “high frequency exposure to plastic is significantly linked to an increased risk of congestive heart failure.”

Since plastic exposure only came from placing hot juice in the container – without any microwave – this study suggests that simply eating hot food from plastic intake containers can be enough to increase the risk of heart disease.

To supplement this data, researchers also asked 3,200 people to complete a study about their exposure to plastic and their cardiovascular health.

They found that those who often eat from plastic containers seemed to have more heart problems, especially congestive heart failure.

The study has some shortcomings. First, researchers cannot appreciate which plastics had rats in their body, nor did any of the rodents develop full -scale cardiovascular disease.

Meanwhile, the human study was based on self-reported findings than on the results of the laboratory, and researchers admit that the connection between the containers of taking and cardiovascular symptoms may be due to other factors.

However, this is the latest test that suggests that microplastics in food service can cause serious health problems.

The authors of the study admitted that “further research is needed to clarify the health impacts of long -term exposure to plastic products.”

However, while it may seem extreme, they recommended that “meanwhile, prevent continuous damage from plastic products to human health, it is essential to avoid using high -temperature plastic containers.”
