-This bottle leaves tiny particles of plastic

New Delhi on Wednesday, October 21, 2020

Research has recently revealed that it is harmful to give milk to a breastfed baby in a plastic bottle. Scientists in Ireland conducted research on plastic or polypropylene bottles.

Details of the research were published in the journal Nature Food. The researchers claimed that such bottles emit extremely fine plastic particles that get into the baby's body. The researchers said that in fact, almost every human being inadvertently injects tiny particles of plastic into the body almost every day. Little is known about the health risks involved.

The researchers observed that the milk was prepared as per the norms prescribed by the World Health Organization and the plastic bottles were sterilized (disinfected) for 21 consecutive days. He found in his observations that this plastic bottle released 1.3 million plastic particles per liter of milk and 1.62 million microparticles that entered the baby's body.

The scientists concluded that every newborn who drank milk from a plastic bottle swallowed an average of 10.60 lakh microparticles per day during the first 12 months. These scientists identified two reasons for this. One bottle is sterilized and the other is lukewarm milk. These two things helped to release the microparticles.
