We are not a doctor but conscious human being who wants to take care of our and our family's health . When we load a software in our computer, we first check it shouldn't harm our system ; then why not to keep check of what we are loading in our body. We believe in prevention than cure. Working on the same goal we got to know harmful effect of very commonly used dishware in everyone's home and that is MELAMINE.
Melamine is an organic base chemical ,rich in nitrogen and most commonly found in the form of white crystals. They are used to make plastics, adhesives, countertops, dishware , etc.
When we take warm food or soup in melamine bowls, melamine from the dish leaches out and reach our kidney with food. This can lead to kidney stone and if the dose is higher it can even damage our kidney. Pregnant women and children are more vulnerable to melamine as developing kidney is more susceptible to damage.
Prevention -
Don't serve acidic or warm food in melamine.
Start using Glass or Ceramic dishwares.
Don't microwave melamine container (Greatest risk at 140 degree Fahrenheit or more).
Cheaper the melamine more it will be transferred to our food. So if you are in love with melamine dishware, spend more.
Note- Storing food in a melamine container is not harmful for health .
