Polythene bags a health hazard, Health polythene and food!
September 21,2017: When cooking foods like Wazwan,  Chicken , rice,meat even tea, people tend to use polythene bags to wrap and cover the food, however, this is unhealthy.
This is because polythene has chemicals that can be transferred to food as it cooks.
According medical. practitioners ,experts, when food comes in contact with a material that is not inert, chances are that chemical will be transferred to the food, hence contamination.
They says the bi products do not have an immediate effect, but rather can cause a running stomach.
The polythene bi products are hard for the body to digest and expose the person to consequences like different cancers.
They explains that when a foreign element enters the body, the mechanism reacts by sending cells to fight the foreign body, however when the body cells are over powered different cancers like abdominal or kidney are likely to occur.
Apart from the cancers caused by chemicals in polythene bags, some chemicals like chloride when heated, tend to smell and make the food have a chemical scent in it hence making it less tasty as well as making it lose the important nutrients.
There is a safe and better option that is use of other bags or leaves instead of polythene .
