Two studies published in the journal pediatrics recently showed that plastic packaging bags and food containers contain chemicals that may lead to the occurrence of childhood diabetes and obesity.
plastic softeners led phthalates or increase insulin resistance in children
brought phthalates is mainly used to soften plastic, and improve the elasticity of plastic products. Since it is suspicious of endocrine disruptors, manufacturing has already cut in the application of the grind ring, pacifiers and other baby products. The early stage of the existing research proves that brought the phthalates exposure can lead to animals and adult humans increase insulin resistance.
associate professor of pediatrics and environmental medicine at New York university school of medicine led by Dr LeonardoTrasande research team found that brought the phthalates can increase insulin resistance in children.
Dr Trasande and his colleagues for 766 children aged 12 to 19 insulin resistance situation and urine lead level of phthalates were studied. Calorie results found in the object of study, bmi and other risk factors for diabetes, as a famous neighbours phthalate of diisooctyl led the higher the concentration of phthalates, children's insulin resistance also increase.
Dr Trasande mentioned: & other; In recent years, more and more people concern about environmental chemicals, think it may be independent risk factors for the development of obesity related diseases in children, the results of our study provides new evidence for this concern. ”
bisphenol a propane ( BPA) High content or easy to cause obesity in children
at Michigan state university researchers have found high levels of bisphenol a propane is associated with increased risk of obesity. Led by Dr DonnaEng scientific research team of more than 3300 children aged 6 to 18 data analysis found that urine bisphenol a propane ( BPA) Too much body fat is usually high content of children, and waist size also increased significantly.
bisphenol a propane ( BPA) As polycarbonate and the raw materials of epoxy resin is widely used in a variety of products. Such as aluminum cans will be using BPA in line in order to prevent the corrosion. Because the BPA linked to health risks exist, the United States food and drug administration has banned its use for sippy cups, hose, infant formula milk packaging.
experts: childhood obesity and diabetes, or relationship with the plastic packing of food more
while the new study found that the plastic chemicals and a link between insulin resistance and obesity in children, but does not prove that there is a causal relationship.
HughTaylor, director of the Yale university school of medicine department of obstetrics and gynecology and reproductive science, 'said Dr These findings show that children is very fragile in the face of environmental chemicals. Age is smaller, the more skills in the development stage, vulnerable to these outside attacks are more sensitive.
however, Dr. Taylor also stressed at the same time, compared with harmful chemicals, food contained in the parcel in with molding packaging for diabetes and obesity equally, even bigger. The children the types of food intake may be the key. More healthy natural food always is a better choice. This not only can eliminate the influence of plastic, plastic chemicals, also can bring many health benefits.
Dr. Taylor also suggested that don't have to use weibo to heat plastic products, plastic containers use washed by hand, by corrosion, or other damage of plastic containers should be discarded no longer use.
