Cling Wrap

[blunomore]

Just something I read the other day of which I was not aware: Some cling wrap contains plasticisers, which is a carcinogen.

So to be safe, use plastic clingwrap without plasticisers (the safe ones would include the No Name brands from Checkers, OK, Pick ‘n Pay, Shoprite, Spar, Woolworths as well as GLAD Wrap).

Even if the cling wrap just touches the food, it excretes plasticisers, so it really seems dangerous.

 

[Peder]

plastic in itself is dangerous.

Anything is a danger if someone stupid gets hold of it.
As for the actual plasticeiser story, give me some evidence

It appears on the CANSA web site. I imagine you would give them some credit for doing research.

Remove the cling wrap before eating, general rule!!

But yeah i heard that most containers have them as well so its good its in console.

Just chuck the stuffout into a glass bowl. Not that much more dishes to clean.

Who did they test it on!!!!!

 

[blunomore]

Umm, adel, they did not test it on humans, they researched it's carcinogenic effect .... probably on rats/mice, which has DNA closest to that of men ... err, I mean humans.

 

[adelp]

Shame poor mice!!

 

[adelp]

So that means women are safe??

 

[adelp]

LOL! I understand sometimes i just wonder how they know but they do learn every day from our mistakes and then theirs to.

Someone "funny" is trying to dominate this thread.
What is a plasticisers actually? Cause plastic as far as I know are just carbon and hydrogen chains.
And Adel, rather just post one "funny" post than three not at all funny ones after each other...

Clever as well. You figured out who I was referring to

 

[HavocXphere]

Good to know.

I'd assume that "plasticisers" is a generic term like flavourants & colourants....

I thought cling wrap is nothing but *very* thin plastic...I didn't realize they need to add stuff.

You can do kinky things with cling wrap.
