However, although disposable chopsticks are convenient and quick, excessive use of disposable chopsticks is also harmful to health. The disposable chopsticks made by regular manufacturers are all made of bamboo with good texture and do not need special processing. But now many small workshops use inferior bamboo in order to reduce costs. These bamboos are black in color and poor in quality, so small workshops will carry out secondary processing. In order to make chopsticks look white, they will bleach them with chlorine or hydrogen peroxide, especially chlorine, which can cause gallstones and contain dioxins. Bamboo chopsticks also have burrs. In order to make bamboo chopsticks look smoother and whiter, they will put them in talcum powder and process them by friction. Talcum powder is more likely to increase the risk of gallstones.
Disposable chopsticks produced in informal workshops will increase the probability of gallstones, cause bacterial infection to the mouth, esophagus and digestive system, and even cause corrosion to the stomach.
Everyone knows that disposable chopsticks are produced by a large number of trees. Excessive use of disposable chopsticks will lead to a large number of trees being cut down and destroy the ecological environment. Moreover, the production of disposable chopsticks is unsanitary, which will breed a lot of bacteria, so excessive use of disposable chopsticks will affect your health. In addition, the cost of disposable chopsticks is high, and the price of a pair of disposable chopsticks is much more expensive than ordinary chopsticks, but ordinary chopsticks usually take a long time and disposable chopsticks can only be used once.
