没有人告诉你：

你的祖母使用搪瓷。
陶瓷。
玻璃。

她不懂科学。

她只是知道塑料不应该盛放热食。

她是对的。

你用来装汤的那个塑料容器，每天傍晚在微波炉里加热的那个，它正在喂养你。

不是食物。

是化学物质。

塑料一加热，就会分解。

让它柔韧、透明、多彩的那些化学物质，它们会迁移。

进入你的食物。
进入你的炖菜。
进入你的米饭。
进入你即将喂给孩子的汤。

你看不见它。
你尝不出它。

但你的身体却留住了它。

这些化学物质会干扰激素。
破坏甲状腺。
影响生殖系统。

而且它们不会很快离开。

它们会累积。

每一次重新加热。
每一个容器。
每一次你说“它只是塑料而已”。

拉各斯是这样。
伦敦是这样。
休斯敦是这样。
多伦多是这样。

塑料不会因地点而改变。

你不会把化学物质直接倒进食物里。

但你会把食物放在会释放化学物质的东西里加热。

结果是一样的。

所以在你只关注盘子里的东西之前，先看看盛放它们的东西是什么。

因为你的身体也会对此作出反应。

NOBODY TOLD YOU:

Your grandmother used enamel.
Ceramic.
Glass.

She did not know the science.

She just knew plastic was not supposed to hold hot food.

She was right.

That plastic container you use for your soup, the one you heat in the microwave every afternoon, it is feeding you.

Not food.

Chemicals.

When plastic gets hot, it breaks down.

The chemicals that make it flexible, clear, colourful, they move.

Into your food.
Into the stew.
Into the rice.
Into the soup you are about to give your child.

You cannot see it.
You cannot taste it.

But your body is keeping it.

These chemicals interfere with hormones.
Disrupt the thyroid.
Affect the reproductive system.

And they do not leave quickly.

They build.

Every reheating.
Every container.
Every time you said, “it is just plastic.”

Same thing in Lagos.
Same thing in London.
Same thing in Houston.
Same thing in Toronto.

Plastic does not adjust for location.

You would not pour chemicals into your food.

But you will heat your food inside something that releases them.

Same outcome.

So before you focus only on what is on your plate, look at what is holding it.

Because your body is responding to that too. @g_diets_
