Generally as a food preservative, in a certain standard does not harm the human body, but can not exceed the standard!

Phthalic acid (2 - ethylhexyl) di-ester, is a toxic chemical industry with plastic softeners, is a colorless, tasteless liquid, after the addition of the particles can be more evenly distributed molecules, so it can increase the ductility, elasticity and softness, often used as a sofa, car seats, rubber tubes, cosmetics and toys raw materials, belonging to the industrial additives.

The Department of Biology of the Hong Kong Baptist University used white rats for further research, found that once served "plasticizer" rats, the birth of the offspring of the predominantly female, and will affect their normal ovulation; even if the birth of males, the reproductive organs of the normal two-thirds smaller, and the number of sperm is also a big drop, reflecting "Plasticizer" toxicity is anti-androgenic activity, resulting in endocrine disruption. According to experts, the study can be applied to human beings, showing that long-term intake of "plasticizers" has a greater impact on men than women. [1] Plasticizer DEHP is an environmental hormone, the toxicity of which to humans is not clear, but it is widely distributed in a variety of foods, and its toxicity is much higher than that of melamine, which must remain in the body for a certain period of time before it can be excreted, and it is feared that it may lead to a decline in immunity and fertility in the long run.　Plasticizer DEHP is similar to artificial hormone, which will jeopardize male fertility and promote precocious puberty in females, and prolonged intake of large amount of DEHP will lead to liver cancer. Since young children are in the stage of endocrine system and reproductive system development, the potential harm of DEHP to young children will be even greater.　1. It may cause gender dysphoria in children, including shortened genitals and inconspicuous sexual characteristics.　2、At present, although it cannot be confirmed whether it is carcinogenic to human beings or not, it will produce carcinogenic reaction to animals.　3, phthalates may affect hormone secretion in the fetus and infants, triggering hormone imbalance, which may lead to precocious puberty in children.
