8 Foods Made in China You Should No Longer Eat

 

China is the world’s largest exporter of food products. The country uses innovative methods and techniques to get these products to the world markets as quickly and cheaply as possible. Unsurprisingly, many foods are suffering the consequences. Here is a list of 8 Chinese foods containing dangerous substances that we should avoid.

1 – SOY SAUCE
The World Health Organization reveals that this product is classified as carcinogenic. Soy sauce contains 4-methylimidazole (carcinogenic effect in mice and rats).

2 – GINGER
A survey launched in 2013 showed that the pesticide Aldicarb, approved for use only on cotton, peanuts, roses and sweet potatoes, was also being used on ginger. Farmers were applying it three to six times above the recommended level.

3 – INDUSTRIAL SALT
Industrial salt is unfit for human consumption but industrial salt was sold as table salt for 13 years! Industrial salt can cause mental and physical problems, hypothyroidism problems as well as reproductive system disorders.

4 – MUSHROOMS
Chlorinating agents, anhydrous calcium chloride, sodium sulfite and other dangerous preservatives are used in mushroom spraying.

 

 

5 – TILAPIA FISH
Tilapia is a common farmed fish in China. These fish are some of the worst, most toxic and unhealthy fish you can come across. A tilapia will eat everything, similar to a cleaner fish and the fish farm is a small pool of water with waste that the fish live in. This is one of the worst fish purchases you could make and it is well known that in China seafood producers will not even let their children eat the seafood they produce, which should be a red flag. 80% of Tilapia comes from China.

6 – SHRIMP
To ensure the survival of shrimp, farmers used unauthorized antibiotics and chemicals. 30 samples of shrimp purchased in China were sent to a laboratory at the Institute for Environment and Human Health at Texas Tech University. Result: Antibiotics (enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol and nitrofuranzone) banned in the United States and other countries for their carcinogenic effects were used in shrimp farming.

7 – APPLE JUICE
In 2011, Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that apple juice from China contained very high levels of arsenic. Another research published by Consumer Reports magazine showed that 10% of the apple juices sampled exceeded the arsenic levels equivalent to the standards. The arsenic found in the products was not organic, on the contrary it was toxic and dangerous.

8 – CHINESE GARLIC
Inspectors have also found contaminated garlic from China. Chinese garlic is heavily sprayed with chemicals and this garlic leaves an unpleasant aftertaste, that of a chemical concoction.
