A woman under 30 years old has cancer. The results of the examination of her body are full of “plastic” accumulated from her lifestyle.
A woman under 30 years old has endometrial cancer. The results of the examination of her body showed only “microplastics” from her lifestyle.
Dr. Liu Boren, a nutritionist from Taiwan, warns that many things around us may release plastics and microplastics when used, especially during eating and cooking. He cites the โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที case of a nearly 30-year-old woman who was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, which was partly caused by her habit of using containers that released microplastics and plastic substances into her body, a common behavior.
This young woman visited her doctor because she had chronic abdominal pain and irregular menstruation. After tests, the medical team found unusually high levels of microplastics and plastic substances in her body, which were the main reason she developed advanced endometrial cancer while she was planning to get married.
The patient’s risky behavior: When asked for details, it was found that she often uses containers that release dangerous substances, such as:
- Put hot soup and noodles in plastic bags and foam boxes.
- Put lunch in low-quality disposable plastic containers
- Drink hot coffee from a plastic cup every day.
- Regular contact with receipt paper containing plastic substances from work
How do microplastics and plastics cause cancer?
Dr. Liu explained that
- Microplastics are small pieces of plastic, no larger than 5 mm, that are created by the breakdown of plastic products such as plastic bags, water bottles, and foam boxes.
- Plasticizers such as BPA (Bisphenol A) and phthalates are additives that give plastics their flexibility and durability. They are found in plastic bags, water bottles, Styrofoam boxes and receipt paper.
Both of these substances can enter the body through food, drinking water, inhalation, or absorption through the skin, especially when containers containing microplastics and plastics are used to store hot food, fatty food, or highly acidic foods such as lemon juice and vinegar.
Carcinogenic process
- BPA and phthalates disrupt hormones, promote abnormal cell growth, and reduce the liver’s detoxification efficiency.
- Microplastics accumulate in the blood, liver, kidneys, lungs and brain, causing chronic inflammation and transporting toxins into the body.
- Direct impact on endometrial cancer BPA stimulates estrogen, causing abnormal growth of uterine tissue. Microplastics cause chronic inflammation and weaken the immune system.
In addition, microplastics and plastic substances are also associated with other health problems, such as:
- Infertility and fetal abnormalities
- Weakened immune system and increased inflammation in the body
- Kidney, liver and nervous system diseases
- Respiratory and heart problems
- Metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes
How to reduce the risk of microplastics and plastic substances
Dr. Liu recommends the following preventive measures:
- Reduce the use of plastics, especially disposable plastics.
- Avoid putting hot food in plastic bags or plastic containers that are not heat-resistant.
- Use ceramic or glass cups instead of plastic cups.
- Avoid heating food in plastic containers. Use heat-resistant containers such as glass or ceramic.
- Do not reuse plastic water bottles.
- Do not drink water from plastic bottles that have been stored in hot places or exposed to sunlight for long periods.
- Choose to eat fresh food and avoid processed food packed in plastic.
- Wash food thoroughly before eating.
- Choose products that are free of BPA and Phthalates.
- Avoid touching receipt paper that contains plastic substances.
- Eat foods that help detoxify your body, such as cruciferous vegetables (liver detoxifiers), mushrooms (immune boosters), garlic and onions (anti-inflammatory), and fatty fish (reduces inflammation and protects cells).
Improper plastic container usage habits can lead to serious health problems such as cancer, a weakened immune system, and other chronic diseases. Avoiding plastics that contain harmful substances and choosing foods that help flush toxins from the body can help reduce the risk.
