Oncologists emphasize that we can control some daily habits that can reduce the risk of cancer. They are urging people to stop using plastic containers, specifically old and damaged ones.
According to oncologist Tingting Tan, damaged plastics can release more particles and chemicals into food.
However, there is no need to panic if someone has been using these containers for years. Many people have used them for many years and have not had cancer, Index wrote. However, it is recommended that plastic containers that are cracked, scratched or have a bad smell be replaced with new ones.
The best alternative is to use glass and ceramic containers.
