A seemingly safe and clean home may harbor toxins we cannot see. Food in the refrigerator and commonly used cleaning agents can both pose health dangers.
Toxins Hidden in Refrigerator Food
“My mother’s refrigerator is always fully packed, so much so that we often only eat the food near the door and forget about the rest,” said Chao Ming-Wei, a certified toxicologist with the American Academy of Toxicology and an associate professor in the Department of Biotechnology at Chung Yuan Christian University, in an episode of “Health 1+1” on NTD, a sister outlet of The Epoch Times.After his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Chao reflected that hoarding food might have been one of the factors contributing to her illness. Even frozen foods have a shelf life and are not “faultless forever,” especially protein-rich items, he said. After being frozen for one to two years, these foods may suffer from “freezer burn” (quality deterioration) and no longer be suitable for eating.
