Eating with painted chopsticks can affect your health? What is the basis?

Painted chopsticks are traditional tableware in China, which are solemn, elegant and highly decorative. But from a health point of view, it is not good for the body. This is because paint is a polymer organic compound, most of which contains toxic chemical components. For example, the lead content of yellow paint accounts for 64% of the total pigment, and the chromium content also reaches 16. 1%. Eating with painted chopsticks for a long time, especially when paint falls off and enters the stomach with food, lead, chromium and other toxic substances enter the human body and accumulate, which is in danger of chronic poisoning. Therefore, it is best not to paint chopsticks during daily meals, but to choose non-toxic bamboo chopsticks or wooden chopsticks that meet the hygiene standards. In addition, chopsticks should be disinfected frequently and replaced once every six months to prevent them from becoming the vectors of diseases.
