How packing hot food in plastic is a silent killer for health.
When any food is at a temperature above 60°C and is put in plastic foil, polythene or plastic cup, many dangerous chemicals start dissolving in the plastic layer. These dangerous chemicals include phthalates, bisphenol A, microplastics and styrene monomers. All these chemicals are microscopic, but their effect on the body can be very dangerous.
