Today, a huge range of different dishes is presented in stores and markets: both very cheap and quite expensive. Many people buy metal or porcelain items for a festive feast, and use simpler options for everyday use. Cheap products are imported from Jordan, Turkey and China. Often among them comes across melamine dishes. Beautiful and comfortable in everyday life, it poses a great danger to our he alth.
Poison in a plate
Officially, melamine tableware is prohibited on the territory of the Russian Federation as food tableware. This is due to the fact that it contains an insidious polymer. When a person acquires it, melamine is “sewn up”. But if you pour liquid into such dishes, for example, ordinary water, formaldehyde immediately begins to be released, which dissolves perfectly in the contents of the plate. About a month passes, and the melamine dishes (photo below) are covered with small microcracks, in which small food particles begin to get stuck.
The harmful effects of formaldehyde are added to these charms. By affecting the digestive and circulatory systems, it can contribute to eczema, cancer, severeallergic reactions and chronic bronchitis. Theoretically, melamine tableware can provoke a mutation of human genes and thereby cause hereditary diseases in the younger generation. Formaldehydes have a strong detrimental effect on the central apparatus of the nervous system, adversely affect the respiratory tract, reproductive organs, eyes and skin. Because of all this, melamine tableware is not even suitable for dogs and cats.
Those who doubt the danger can familiarize themselves with the latest research by Rospotrebnadzor employees. The results of several independent tests amazed even experienced chemists: first, a little ordinary table vinegar (4%) was poured into melamine bowls. Then they were left for a day, and then the contents of the dishes were passed through a chromatograph. How many times do you think the norm for formaldehyde was exceeded? Not at two or three, and not even at ten - as much as 65!
How to recognize danger in time
You can recognize melamine tableware by the following signs: it is light in weight, does not break, it is easy to wash. The appearance of such utensils is somewhat reminiscent of French dishes made from special household glass (arcopal, arcoros). Compared to porcelain or glass, it is noticeably lighter. If you knock on it with a wooden object, you will hear a crackling, dull, "dead" sound. Usually has a milky white color. Unfortunately, now even melamine tableware for children comes across on the shelves. Shamelessgrowers are successfully using colorful bears, hedgehogs and flowers to increase their sales. But if you look closely, the cartoonish drawings are applied without any protective layer, and on the reverse side comes across a “melamine” stamp. However, such a warning may simply be absent. It is frightening that the sellers themselves sometimes do not know what kind of “genie” is hidden in the assortment of their goods. The state, of course, is fighting this, but it is not worth relying on the vigilance of the relevant authorities, knowing how resourceful entrepreneurs can be. Therefore, we recommend that you exercise utmost care when choosing household utensils.
