China is the world’s leading exporter of food products. The country uses innovative methods and technologies to get these products to global markets as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Not surprisingly, many foods suffer from this. Here is a list of eight Chinese foods that contain dangerous substances that we should avoid.
1 – SOY SAUCE
The World Health Organization has announced that this product is classified as carcinogenic. Soy sauce contains 4-methylimidazole (carcinogenic in mice and rats).
2 – GINGER
A 2013 study found that the pesticide Aldicarb, which is only approved for use on cotton, peanuts, roses and sweet potatoes, was also used on ginger. Farmers applied it three to six times the recommended level.
3 – INDUSTRIAL SALT
Industrial salt is unfit for human consumption, but industrial salt has been sold as table salt for 13 years! Industrial salt can cause mental and physical problems, hypothyroidism and reproductive system disorders.
4 – MUSHROOMS
Chlorinating agents, anhydrous calcium chloride, sodium sulfite and other dangerous preservatives are used in mushroom spraying.
