10 Foods Made in China You Must Avoid (Filled with Plastic, Pesticides and Cancer Causing Chemicals)
Nowadays, a great portion of the imported food in America comes from
China. The reason for this is financial, of course, as we do not need to
buy Chinese food when we have so much farmland here.
Yet, the food in China is significantly cheaper. However, this does
not mean that you get the same for a lower price. In fact, you are
getting food which may seriously harm your health!
This is the list of 10 foods made in China which endanger your health:
Tilapia Fish
80% of tilapia sold in America is, in fact, Chinese. Tilapia
is a bottom feeder, meaning that they consume everything they find.
Taking into consideration the water pollution in China, the consumption
of anything that has been raised in the water is extremely dangerous.
According to one study, tilapia is even more harmful than bacon.
Cod Fish
Half of the Cod in America is actually produced in China. Again the
feeding issues and pollution there make its consumption is far from
safe. These exports have been even restricted in China.
Apple Juice
It is a well-known fact that China includes dangerous pesticides on
fruits and half of the apple juice in the U.S. is from China. The
Chinese government has banned these pesticides, but they are still
included in use. Therefore, it is safer to make your own apple juice
from local organic apples.
Processed Mushrooms
34% of all processed mushrooms in the U.S. are imported from China
and their process of production is unknown. Therefore, buy your
mushrooms from local farms or American-based or Canadian-based ones.
Chinese Garlic
Over 31% of the garlic we use is actually Chinese and its process of
production, just like in the case of other foods, includes pesticides.
Mainly methyl bromide, which is harmful to your health.
Chicken
The sale of chicken from China in America has been approved by the US
Department of Agriculture in 2013. Yet, in this case, as well you need
to consider the pollution in China and the feeding issue, as well as the
fact that it is frequently plagued with foodborne illnesses, like avian
flu.
Plastic Rice
Numerous reports nowadays suggest that the rice imported from China
these days is not even real rice, but a mixture of resin and potato.
Facts prove that this plastic rice can be found on the American market,
so make sure you buy your rice from trusted places, in order to prevent
numerous health issues.
Black Pepper Mud
It is of the highest importance to be sure of the quality of the
product you are buying. Namely, one Chinese vendor was found to offer
mud instead of black pepper.
Industrial Salt
Any salt that has been imported from China may include industrial
salt, which may lead to numerous health risks such as hypertension,
stroke, or high blood pressure.
Green Peas
Research has found fake green peas in China, produced with soybeans,
snow peas, green dye, and sodium metabisulfite, which is a compound
commonly used as a preservative and bleach.
The use of this dye has been banned due to its cancer-causing
properties, and it also inhibits the natural absorption of calcium in
the body. The fake green peas do not get soft during boiling, and it
leaves a green color in the water.
Therefore, these shocking facts about the foods that are commonly
found on the market nowadays should instruct you to choose and use only
organic, and local foods in order to protect your health and the health
of your family.
