chopsticks are one of the important bacterial transmission channels.
Chopsticks were called chopsticks in ancient times. According to the ancient book Han Feizi Yu Lao, “in the past, Zhou was like chopsticks, but Jizi was terrible.”. King Zhou was the monarch of the late Shang Dynasty. It can be seen that chopsticks made of ivory appeared in China as early as the 11th century BC. China is the birthplace of chopsticks and chopsticks, and the customs of using chopsticks and chopsticks in North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam and other countries were introduced from China.
In real life, most families mix chopsticks when eating, and the method of cleaning chopsticks is not correct. If such chopsticks are used for a long time, it is easy to catch digestive tract diseases, such as hepatitis, dysentery and acute gastroenteritis.
Data show that nearly 50% of the human body has Helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach diseases. Most of these bacteria are transmitted in families, and chopsticks are one of the important transmission channels.
the materials are diverse. Which chopsticks are the healthiest
Do you want to own all the dazzling chopsticks, such as blue, red, carved, painted, blue and white porcelain, cartoon and alien? However, after buying them, most chopsticks are only for collection. Occasionally, they are taken out for a look and play. So, what kind of chopsticks are the healthiest, most suitable and most qualified to accompany us for three meals a day?
I. best choice – bamboo chopsticks
When we choose chopsticks, bamboo chopsticks are the first choice and the best choice. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It is also the cheapest of all chopsticks. Bamboo chopsticks with good quality will not deform in high temperature.
second choice – natural color wooden chopsticks
wood chopsticks? Many chopsticks are made of wood. They are all wooden chopsticks. Can they be used? Of course not! I recommend natural wooden chopsticks. On the contrary, those painted wooden chopsticks are the least recommended.
3. The last thing we recommend is painted chopsticks.
Painted chopsticks are very beautiful, and their shapes have changed a lot. But it is these beautiful chopsticks that I would not recommend you to use in your daily life. Because the heavy metals, lead and organic solvent benzene in the paint will cause many unknown hidden dangers to the body and affect health.
4. Don’t try to be cheap, throw it away – plastic chopsticks
Plastic chopsticks, a bag of 20 pairs, 10 yuan? Sounds, looks, very cheap? The most important thing is that the color is bright, and there are many choices. Only the color can distinguish the chopsticks of the host and the guests. The colorful ones are put in the cabinet, which is kind and pleasant to the eyes. However, the texture of plastic chopsticks is relatively brittle, which is easy to deform and melt after being heated, resulting in substances harmful to the body. Are you still willing to use it?
v. chopsticks with different styles – silver chopsticks, ceramic chopsticks, stainless steel chopsticks
Silver chopsticks, ceramic chopsticks with Chinese flavor, and Korean stainless steel chopsticks, which have gradually become popular with the popularity of Korean food in recent years, look very good, but they are heavy to use and do not feel very good, especially for children and the elderly. Moreover, it has strong thermal conductivity, and it is easy to burn the lips when eating overheated food. Ceramic chopsticks are fragile and can’t help bumping. They are not recommended as common tableware.
how should new chopsticks be thoroughly cleaned
Newly bought chopsticks need to remove viruses, bacteria and certain chemicals accumulated during the production and transportation of chopsticks. You can clean it with tap water first, then wash it with detergent the second time, and finally put it in the pot and boil it in boiling water for half an hour.
Be careful to scrape off the fine thorns with bamboo chopsticks. If the new chopsticks have peculiar smell, they can be soaked in vinegar for half an hour or boiled in tea for half an hour. The trademark glue on newly bought chopsticks is sometimes difficult to remove, and it can be slowly removed by blowing heat with an electric hair dryer; You can also use a lighter to bake the trademark glue slightly, so that the glue can be easily lifted when it melts in heat; The damaged part can be wiped off with paper or cloth by applying medical alcohol (high-grade Baijiu and essential balm) onto the adhesive.
More importantly, wash chopsticks thoroughly at ordinary times. Many people are very “forthright” when washing chopsticks. The whole set of chopsticks is rubbed under the faucet and then inserted into the chopstick box. Unexpectedly, such chopsticks are easy to breed bacteria and enter the human body with food. The correct washing method should be: wash the surface of the chopsticks first, then carefully scrub the chopsticks with detergent, and then put them into the disinfection cupboard for disinfection and drying, or wash and drain the water before putting them into the chopstick box.
please say “no” to disposable chopsticks
CCTV exposed the hidden rules of consumption in many industries at the party on March 15 this year. The process of disposable chopsticks has been processed with many chemical raw materials. Disposable chopsticks have been processed with fumigated sulfur, paraffin, hydrogen peroxide and other chemicals in the production process. The production process is shocking. What’s more unexpected is that workers have to “flip” chopsticks with their feet during the processing of chopsticks, The close contact between feet and chopsticks can be seen everywhere in chopstick factories. It is not surprising to see footprints with chopsticks in some factories. Even the manufacturer himself admitted that “most of the disposable chopsticks now have residues exceeding the standard”, and such “sanitary chopsticks are actually very unsanitary”.
I thought that disposable chopsticks, which have always been considered safe and hygienic, not only did not bring me protection, but also brought future troubles. Pairs of disposable chopsticks look clean and pure white. They are all processed by cleaning and bleaching with industrial chemical materials. Do you dare to use disposable chopsticks in the future?
Facts show that its so-called “hygiene” and “convenience” are just people’s illusory psychological expectations. Its use is essentially the same as “folding branches into chopsticks”, which is neither hygienic nor convenient compared with the chopsticks that are cleaned and disinfected every meal and do not need many production bases and cumbersome transportation processes.
All this happened is the result of our continuous improvement of our quality of life. As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth. Today’s disposable chopsticks are exposed, tomorrow’s gutter oil is exposed, and the day after tomorrow we don’t know what it is. These issues closely related to the people’s livelihood have been exposed one by one, which has really sounded the alarm for each of us.
