新地杯裝熱粟米


5號塑膠為PP (polypropylene,聚丙烯),材質韌性佳、可抗酸鹼、耐熱(100-140℃),因此廣泛使用於日常生活中,諸如豆(米)漿瓶、微波容器、吸管、垃圾桶、水桶、洗衣袋、針筒、防護衣、汽車或電器製品等。PP並無口服毒性,也不會增加人類罹癌的機會,因此在塑膠容器中為較理想的食品容器材質。

作者母親對她的企盼

吟到梅花句亦香,雖然是良好盼望,但仍有阻礙︰能力到不了,沒辦法。何況,這句子還有深層諷刺——句亦香,文字誇張虛擬,畢竟到底不是真的梅香。

吟︰文字書寫

句︰文字形成

梅花︰書寫對象

香︰一種特質,一種象徵

香港人迷日本漫畫和電視劇集,只限於「迷」,其實對它們的內涵,對大和民族有什麼意義,並不了解。例如漫畫一般都隱含了︰為目標奮鬥、苦練爭取勝利……這些民族教育目的。可能有人反駁說,還有許多色情成分,那又算什麼教育?色情,對大和民族來說,不是罪大惡極,而是社會法律下容許的。眾多嚴肅文學作品,要找出色情描繪場面,毫不困難,也從未見教育界批評或禁止。

現時世衞並無就飲用水的酸鹼值與健康的關係下定論。無論這些飲用水是偏酸或偏鹼,其濃度相比其他飲品(例如汽水、橙汁)或食物為低。故一般而言,飲用水比如蒸餾水、礦泉水,我們的身體可以自我調節,控制體液酸鹼度,因此大家毋須擔心。

鹼性水由電解水機製造出來,故稱為電解水。其原理是依據「電化學」與「電解」原理,採用鈦白金或其他合金材料,作為製造電解槽之電極板。鹼性水含礦物質的種類與礦泉水相似。

坊間對鹼性水的功效有許多說法,例如用作治療癌症,但現時未有實質科學研究證實有關講法。另外,也有研究顯示鹼性水能中和胃酸令胃酸倒流的情況改善,但目前需要更多研究支持。

鑽石能量水是以濾心淨化自來水的食水,並同時把水礦化,所以鑽石能量水含有一些弱鹼性的礦物質。這款水聲稱可改善健康,但現未有確實。
