Adding plasticizer to liquor is to make the liquor with insufficient years look good. Adding various tackifiers can solidify the sugar in forged grain liquor, resulting in the effect of sticking cups. Plasticizer, that is, plasticizer of mainland Chinese, is often used in sports drinks, fruit juices, tea drinks, fruit jams and powdered colloids to prevent precipitation and improve the taste.

Extended data

Edible consequences

The Department of Biology of Hong Kong Baptist University made further research with white mice, and found that the offspring of mice who had taken "plasticizer" were mainly female, which would affect their normal ovulation.

Even if a male is born, its reproductive organs are two-thirds smaller than normal, and the number of sperm is also greatly reduced, reflecting that the toxicity of "plasticizer" belongs to antiandrogen activity, causing endocrine disorders and affecting its normal fertility. Experts said that the research can be applied to humans, showing that long-term inhalation of "plasticizer" has a greater impact on men than women.

Plasticizer DEHP is an environmental hormone, although its toxicity to human body is not clear, it is widely distributed in various foods, and its toxicity is much higher than that of melamine. It must stay in the body for a period of time before it is discharged, which may lead to a decline in immunity and fertility in the long run.

Plasticizer DEHP is similar to artificial hormone, which will endanger male reproductive ability and promote female precocious puberty. Long-term large intake will lead to liver cancer. Because children are in the development period of endocrine system and reproductive system, DEHP will bring more potential harm to children.

1, may cause children's gender disorder, including genital shortening and unclear sexual characteristics.

2. Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is carcinogenic to humans, it will cause carcinogenic reactions to animals.

3. Phthalates may affect the hormone secretion in fetuses and infants, causing hormonal imbalance, which may lead to precocious puberty in children.

Injury gene

Plasticizers have been proved to interfere with human endocrine and affect the reproductive system. The research team of National Taiwan Normal University also found that plasticizers can cause genotoxicity and harm human genes. Long-term consumption has the greatest risk of cardiovascular disease, and it is also very harmful to the liver and urinary system. After being poisoned, it will be passed on to the next generation through genes.

Reduce reproductive capacity

DEHP plasticizer is mostly used in plastic materials, belonging to environmental hormones, which will endanger male reproductive ability and promote female precocious puberty. Taiwan Province has listed DEHP as the fourth kind of toxic chemicals and should not be added to food. If you drink a bottle of problematic beverage, the content of plasticizer will exceed the allowable value.
