Foods Everyone Should Avoid in China
Food safety issues have been haunting mainland Chinese for a very long time, but many people are ignorant as to just how serious and pervasive the toxic food problem really is.
A graduate student of food technology has unveiled on an online post what foods people should avoid. He warned to be especially skeptical of foods that appears exceptionally fresh and nutritious. Those are generally the more toxic ones, he said.
According to the student, the source of his posted information is from lectures given by his university professor.
The following is a summary of the student’s post. Keep in mind that some products in the United States and other countries are from China.
Milk
Don’t consume any milk products besides pure, fresh milk. Avoid UHT (ultra high temperature) processed milk. While the high temperature processing kills bacteria, it also destroys nutrients and preservatives are also added. Flavoring and thickening agents are used to make milk taste better.
Stay away from yoghurt; it often contains substandard ingredients. Check labels to avoid products made from milk powder and reconstituted milk.
Vegetables
Overuse of pesticide is very common in China. A common misconception is that pesticides on vegetables can be washed off. But the most commonly used organic phosphorus pesticide is not water soluble; it sticks to the leaves like oil, and is very hard to wash off. Besides, some pesticides are applied to the plants’ roots and are absorbed into the plant, so there is no way to remove them by washing.
Purchase organic produce from a reliable source (or start a vegetable garden).
Fish
Don’t buy live fish at the market; frozen-fresh is better. Chinese people like to buy live fish at the market because they believe it is fresher and healthier than frozen fish. However, fish normally only survives 8 hours after being caught. Many hours pass during transport and display at the market.
The fish may not survive that long. It has thus become a common practice among fish venders to add Malachite Green (MG), an industrial dye, to the tank water to help the fish survive longer. MG kills bacteria and is very cheap, but it is also a carcinogen. Therefore, frozen fish is the healthier choice.
Frogs and Eels
Stay away from frogs and finless eels. Frogs and finless eels used to be considered delicacies. However, eating them frequently will slowly poison you.
With the overuse of pesticides, and frog having a big appetite, large amounts pesticides are now found in frogs. Eels are also no longer safe to eat. It has been widely reported that farmers feed contraceptives to finless eels to accelerate their growth, and this has become an unspoken-of industrial standard for eel farming.
