plasticizer DEHP affect the reproductive system
not included in the Ministry of Health “blacklist”, and Taiwan experts suggest that children stopped to drink, prepare pregnant women check-ups
□ Evening News reported that Li Yu Ran intern
Taiwan’s “drink poison” incident came to light, plasticizer DEHP hazards on the human body by the public’s attention. This morning, the reporter interviewed a food safety experts and medical experts, they said, DEHP will be on the human reproductive system, immune system, digestive system harm, such as damage to male reproductive capacity, to enable women to precocious puberty, children’s gender disorder may cause long-term high intake can lead to liver cancer. Experts also pointed out that, DEHP has not yet included in the Health Department “blacklist” of China in the future government should strengthen the content of the substance in food testing.
human reproductive system at risk
According to reports, toxic plasticizers “phthalate (2 – ethylhexyl) ester” of the English abbreviation for DEHP, it is a widely used plasticizer in the plastic processing to add these substances can enhance its flexibility, easy processing, but this material can not be added to food.
Ma Zhiying Chief Engineer of Shanghai Food Research Institute, said plasticizer DEHP is a persistent hazard to the human body has organic pollutants, although it is not as heavy as to cause acute damage to the human body, but international research shows that, DEHP will be to the human reproductive system, immune system, digestive system caused chronic hazards. “Animal experiments show that, DEHP more obvious hazards, but can not do human experiments, DEHP on humans in the end how much harm will be caused, we are not very clear, but the damage is definitely yes.” Ma Zhiying said. Speaking in China DEHP content in food detection, Ma Zhiying, said Taiwan’s “poison drinks” After the scandal, our government will certainly enhance the detection of DEHP plasticizers efforts will not only focuses on the detection of food and beverages produced in Taiwan will also strengthen the continent’s food and beverage production in the detection of DEHP content.
Ma Zhiying pointed out that the Ministry of Health recently released “added to food may be illegal abuse of non-food substances and easy food additives list” not included “plasticizer DEHP”.”It seems that the future government announced a ‘blacklist’, the need DEHP, in order to enhance the toxic non-food substances testing efforts.”
harmful levels and the concentration
According to the Shanghai Children’s Hospital of Endocrinology, Director Li example, introduced a plastic plasticizer DEHP metabolites, which enters the body, can affect the secretion of estrogen. Study confirmed that most of these substances have estrogenic effects, through the appropriate channels induced precocious puberty.
Example, Lee pointed out that the extent of its harm to human body is closely related with the concentration, in fact, our daily lives using the plastic containers are leaching DEHP, but because of low concentration, their effect on human health is minimal. So example, Lee said that some in Taiwan, the concentration of DEHP in food and beverage has not been announced before, the expert can not judge the food on the degree of harm to human health.”Of course, Taiwan’s ‘poison drink’ event also tells us, usually plastic or less is better, because it may affect the leaching of DEHP to human health.” Example, Lee said.
Example, director Lee also pointed out that, in addition to concentration problems, individual differences in tolerance to harmful levels of DEHP is also closely related with the factors. This is because previous studies have shown that people in the absorption and tolerability of DEHP are individual differences, some people absorb less, excretion much, so tolerance is strong, while others are more vulnerable to chronic DEHP injury.
long-term heavy intake will lead to liver cancer
Plasticizers in food cause cancer to add it? Taiwan’s Kaohsiung Medical University College of Pharmacy Dean Lee Chi said, DEHP role similar to artificial hormones, can damage the male reproductive capacity, and enable women to precocious puberty, long-term high intake can cause liver cancer. High-dose long-term accumulation in vivo may cause children to gender confusion, including the genitals become short, obvious sexuality and so on.
Taiwan’s Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, said Linjie Liang Lin Chuan, director of toxicology, DEHP containing female hormones similar to the children from now on, do not drink sugary fruit juice drinks; adult If they do not drink a bottle a day or two of these juices, beverages, if the current trying to get pregnant, be sure to go check the body.
Shanghai endocrine, reproductive experts pointed out that the phthalate ester is a kind of estrogen-like effects of environmental hormones, reproductive system of men and women are affected, it is suspected of developing biological variation of the reproductive organs, decreased sperm quality on male . Urology expert Professor Li Zheng Yan Chai Hospital, said children are in the endocrine system, reproductive system development period, phthalate esters potential hazards for young children will be even greater.
