Toxic in Plastics That Can Caused Cancer

Eating plasticisers? That means eating foods which contains toxic chemicals from plastic containers or plastic wrappers. Ever get the feeling that your cheese tastes a bit like plastic? There might be a good reason. Chemicals in the plastic wrap used to wrap the cheese could have migrated into the cheese. cling film, the wrapper used to pack the cheese, can have plasticisers-toxic chemical additives that give the wrap its 'stretch and cling' quality-in it. Test done at least at 4 countries-Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Taiwan, in recent years have found that plasticisers can leach into a wide range of foods like cheese, cakes and baked goods, instant noodles and supermarket meats from plastic packaging materials.

In September 1996, Taiwan's Consumer's Association reported that their tests show styrofoam containers used for instant noodles leach styrene-touted as cancer-causing agent-when boiling water was poured into them. In their tests, almost 80% of the noodles tested had styrene above 400 parts per-million. In addition to eating toxic plasticisers from plastics, you could also be eating plastic ingredients too!
