Do you prefer drinking coffee through the small aperture on the lid of the coffee cup? From now on, stop doing it, and remember to take off the lid of the coffee cup before enjoying the coffee. t is reported that these plactic lid will release Hormone Bisphenol A when they are under high temperature over 65℃.
"BPA" is short for Bisphenol A. It is a kind Phthalate and widely be used for variety of plastic containers, including plastic feeding bottle, plastic kettle and so on. It will interfere with endocrine. For women, it will result in an irregular period, infecundity and even increase the risk of breast cancer. For men, it easily cause a hypoplastic testis.
According to the Research Center for Environmental Trace Toxic Substances in National Cheng Kung University, no matter which pltastic container, plastic bag are, they should not be used for hot drink, food or for heating or microwave.
However, I think that the best way is to go back to our old times. I remember, when I was a kid, in the country, we always take our own cup or bowl to buy the snack , such as noodle with soup or anything, from the vendor. This is not only eco-friendly but also is healthy.
