It To Attention, When Using Toilet Tissue


Some time ago it was rumored that the indiscriminate use a tissue to wipe the genitals after defecation (wiping) can lead to ovarian cancer. This news is just a rumor. Even so while using toilet paper, there are a few things you should consider.

Because it will be used in contact with the most sensitive parts of the body, it is recommended to use soft toilet tissue or soft. Tissues that should be used is the tar made from pure wood fiber and contains no bleach or dyes.

"Tissue can be made from recycled materials results papers, magazines, newspapers or paper made from 100 percent virgin wood fiber. Wipes are made from recycled materials will be added OBA / whitener (OBA = optical brightening agents) in order to look white and not visible from waste paper materials, "explained Director of Corporate Affairs and Communications, Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), Suhendra Wiriadinata.

It was mentioned by him in his written statement to the detikHealth and written on Monday (03/12/2012).

Tissues from recycled paper plus a bleach would be unnaturally white, sometimes white and sometimes too dull white. According Suhendra, one way to distinguish them is to see whether the condition of tissue will reflect the blue light from UV light (such as a device used to detect counterfeit banknotes).

"While bleach is safe to use, but the use of the former paper to tissue could contain heavy metals such as lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) are carcinogenic ( can cause cancer), "said Suhendra.

He therefore suggested for toilet paper to be used for cleaning sensitive organs should use wipes are made from 100 percent pure wood fiber, which is safe and does not contain heavy metals.

He explained that the bleach is not used, it usually wipes of paper, the former will be colored in yellow, red, green, and more. In addition, when examined closely, you will find the black dots on the surface of the tissue.

The use of color is adalahy In order to use bleach substitution with tissue more attractive destination. While the black dots indicate tissue derived from waste paper material. This is different from tissue derived from 100 percent virgin wood fiber, in which there will be no black dots.

Formerly Dr. Sigit Purbadi, SpOG (K) Onk, consultant gynecologist and oncologist from Cipto Mangunkusumo said the news that the content of talcum in facial tissue and association with ovarian cancer or ovarian a long hopotesis that has never been proven.

Described by Dr Sigit, based on the cause there are 2 types of ovarian cancer and no one was shown to be associated with talcum. The first type of ovarian cancer is not known why, while the second type associated with Hereditary Breast-Ovarian Cancer Syndromes (HBOC).

High risk for developing ovarian cancer or HBOC-second type Syndromes owned by women there is a family history of breast cancer, colon or ovary itself. However affirmed again, the risk is not related to the use of tissue for wiping.
