This trend is nuts.
People are eating peanuts of biodegradable packaging under the assumption that they are edible – much about expert concern.
In Tiktok, online shoppers claim that bio -discipline peanuts do for “perfect snack”, arguing that the parts of the foam are completely edible because they are scattered in their mouths.
“Did anyone know that lush peanuts of packaging are edible?” She wrote a beauty lover in a Tiktok video, which showed her in her mouth.
The personal care brand packs its shipping boxes with “eco-Flo chips”, an alternative to typical foam peanuts that are made instead with a potato starch base to make them disperse in water and soil.
“Biodeggradaba does not mean edible,” one viewer warned.
“Just because it can’t say that it should!” led another.
“Girl, those peanuts of packaging have probably been on Earth and touched by idk as many people. Pls don’t die,” someone else warned.
While some Tiktok users said they finally do not feel like “a Weirdo” for their strange snack, experts warned that sustainable packaging peanuts should not be consumed – not to mention that some biodegradable packaging peanuts were not made of edible ingredients.
The best scenario, eating eco-friendly transport materials can cause bloating, pain and gas. At worst, the process in which the potato starch peanuts are created forms a well -known carcinogen, or a cancer -associated component.
Nursing internship Thrivelab, Angelica McGough told Dolish that the excess heat used to make peanuts of packaging causes the formation of acrylamide, a carcinogen with endometrial and ovary cancer.
“Many vegetable oils are rich in Omega-6 fatty acids, which, when consumed, contribute to an imbalance that promotes chronic inflammation,” she said.
“Inhaling cooking fumes and consuming glowing oils – has been associated with lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancer.”
