GĐXH - Generally, the lining of a thermos is made of 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel. However, it is not immune to all toxins.

Thermos bottles are common items in our daily lives, allowing you to drink hot or cold drinks according to your preferences. Especially in the fall and winter, when many people use them to store hot water so they can drink hot water anytime, anywhere.

Generally, the lining of a thermos is made of 304 stainless steel or 316 stainless steel. However, it is not immune to all toxins. This article will list them for you. 9 things you should not put in a thermos because it is harmful to the thermos and your body.

1. Carbonated drinks in thermos

As we all know, the carbon dioxide gas in carbonated drinks will create high pressure when closed and shaken, which can break the thermos cap. It will not only splash into your body but also be dangerous to your health.

In addition, carbonated drinks contain acids that can corrode the inside of stainless steel. Not only does it damage the bottle, it also releases heavy metal elements. If you drink it for a long time, you may suffer from heavy metal poisoning.

2. Acidic drinks

Acidic drinks such as plum soup, lemon juice , orange juice, etc. should not be put in a thermos.

As mentioned above, acidic substances will corrode the stainless steel lining. It will release heavy metals, rust odor and accelerate the corrosion process inside the tank.

If you want to store acidic drinks, it's best to choose glass, ceramic, or food-grade plastic bottles.

3. Oriental medicine

To keep Chinese medicine warm, some people will pour it directly into a thermos, but this will also cause problems.

Many traditional Chinese medicines contain substances such as alkaloids and organic acids, which easily react with stainless steel to produce harmful substances.

Because the taste of Chinese medicine itself is very strong, even if there is an unpleasant smell, it will be covered up. The toxic substances that enter the stomach with this medicine can be harmful to your health. Moreover, it is easy to have spots on the inner lining of the thermos, and the entire body of the thermos will be corroded.

If you want to keep Chinese medicine warm, it is best to put the medicine in a "Chinese medicine bag" and avoid direct contact with the inner lining of the thermos. This will help keep the medicine warm effectively and prevent the inner lining from being damaged and producing harmful substances.

4. Stew

Many people put stew in a thermos to keep it warm. You know, salt and oil.   In the soup in the thermos is very easy to breed bacteria.

After long-term storage, it is easy to develop a foul odor, which not only affects the taste but can also cause diarrhea after drinking.

Furthermore, if the rubber ring of the thermos comes into contact with grease, it will easily turn yellow and moldy , which is not good for health when used.

5. Boiling water

To ensure the temperature of the water, many people will pour boiling water directly into the thermos. Few people know that in fact, this action is very unsafe.

The instructions for using a thermos clearly state: "Do not pour boiling water into the thermos." This reminder is easy to ignore, after all, thermoses are used to hold hot water.

Pouring boiling water directly into the thermos will accelerate the oxidation of the lining. It will also increase the air pressure inside the thermos, causing the lid to pop off and you may get burned by the boiling water if you are not careful.

Moreover, if you accidentally take a sip that is too large, you may easily burn your mouth and throat. Especially for children, never pour boiling water directly into the thermos. If you like hot water, try choosing 80℃.

6. Fermented drinks

Do not use thermos to store yogurt, soy milk and other drinks. Otherwise, in a high temperature environment, it will easily accelerate the fermentation process and turn soy milk into poison. After drinking, you may have diarrhea.

In addition, gas will be produced during the fermentation process, which can cause the lid to burst or even cause an "explosion" if you are not careful, posing a great safety hazard.

7. Wine

Some people are afraid to carry wine in glass bottles, so they put wine in a thermos to carry. Whether it is beer , red wine or white wine, you should not put them in this thermos.

Because alcohol will corrode the stainless steel lining. You can pour water into the thermos for a short time, but pouring water into the thermos for a long time will damage the thermos.

8. Milk

When milk is put into a thermos, it is easy to ferment, causing the milk to sour or even spoil. It not only tastes bad, but can also cause diarrhea after drinking. Moreover, it is easy to leave stains inside the thermos and is difficult to clean.

It is best to store milk in ceramic or glass cups, which are healthier and easier to clean.

9. Coffee and tea

Coffee and tea are the most common drinks in our lives. Even if you want to keep them warm, you should not put them in a thermos.

Because the pigments and tannins in coffee and tea easily react with stainless steel, making their taste "vomit liquid" and very difficult to drink.

Additionally, the pigments will remain in the stainless steel lining, leaving behind "stains" that are difficult to clean.

Note: It is best not to put the above 9 things in a thermos. At the very least, the cup will be damaged, and at worst, it will affect your health. You must pay attention to that.
