Plastic Lunch Box & Kitchen Tools

A chemical called Bisphenol A (BPA) is used to harden the plastic. It is used in consumer products such as lunch boxes, lunch box linings, baby formula, and drinking containers. BPA can mimic the estrogen hormone to bind to estrogen receptors α and β, thereby increasing the likelihood of cell proliferation, migration, or apoptosis. This can cause the risk of cancer.

Aluminum foil

Generally, aluminum foil is found in every house. It is used to heat food. Because of this, a small amount of aluminum gets mixed in the food and contaminates it. This can be dangerous for muscles, bones, and other tissues. Also, kidney disease can cause diseases like Alzheimer's. Apart from this, the risk of cancer can also increase.

Non stick utensils

Some kitchen utensils contain chemicals. These are also called perfluoctane sulfate. Due to this chemical, the risk of liver cancer can increase. These chemicals are found in waterproof clothing, shampoos, industrial products, and even non-stick cookware and cleaning products.

Tea bags

Tea bags are made of nano plastic, food-grade nylon, and PCV. When they are put in hot water, they start breaking. Paper tea bags sometimes mix with epichlorohydrin and trigger a carcinogen that can cause cancer.
