10 Foods Made In China That Are Filled With Plastic, Pesticides AND Cancer Causing Chemicals

You won’t believe this one, it’s absolutely shocking! People are publishing instructional videos on some Chinese websites on how to make $70 a day by producing and selling fake eggs.

The chemicals that are required to make these “fake and dangerous eggs” are: Alginic Acid, Potassium Alum, Gelatin, Calcium Chloride, water and artificial color. They make the eggshells from Calcium Carbonate. Eating these eggs may cause memory-loss and dementia. Be extra careful what you buy, because these eggs can be really dangerous for you and your family!

Walnuts stuffed with cement? You haven’t heard about this one, right? In 2012 a Chinese guy has bought shelled walnuts in Zhengzhou city, China. The only thing he found was broken concrete pieces inside. The walnut-cements “manufacturers” wrapped the concrete in paper to prevent it from making a suspicious noise when the nut was shaken. The guy who actually “invented and made” these cemented walnuts was trying to get more money by selling these fake walnuts that were much heavier than the real thing.

Because pork is less expensive in China, people in some Chinese restaurants have sold it instead of beef. Before they sell it, they usually perform some chemistry on it. Here’s what they do! They use a beef extract and some glazing agent to “marinate” the meat in for hour and a half. Medical experts have advised many people to stay away from this fake “beef” product as its long-term use may cause slow poisoning, deformity, and it can even promote cancer.

According to the reports, fake peas were found in Hunan province, China, in 2005. A local newspaper has published a story in which they say that the peas were still hard after boiling, yet turned the water unnatural green color. The fake peas “manufacturers” made a lot of money by selling this dangerous product, and one of the illegal workshops was producing them for three years before it was investigated and shut down. The people who made these fake peas used: snow peas and soy beans. Then they added green dye and sodium metabisulfite, which they used it as bleach and preservative. This dye is banned and it can’t be used in production because it may can cancer, as well as obstruct the body’s ability to absorb calcium.

According to the CBS News, almost 50 people were accused of manufacturing fake instant baby formula that led to dozens of children dying in the Fuyang province, China. This event occurred in 2004. The instant baby formula contained very few nutrients. It was mostly made of chalk, and made the children develop a “big head disease”. This condition made their heads swell and the rest of their bodies slowly deteriorate.

We all know that the industrial salt can’t be consumed by human beings and it is labeled “unfit for human consumption.” The industrial salt is much cheaper. This is why 788 tons of it was sold by at least 12 people over the course of 13 years as table salt. This unhealthy and dangerous industrial salt can cause mental and physical issues, such as hypothyroid problems and reproductive system disorders. Be careful what type of salt you buy!

Mud sold as black pepper

According to the local news, a market vendor in China’s Guangdong Province collected local mud and sold it as black pepper! And another disturbing thing was that his white pepper was mainly made out of flour. When the authorities caught him, his excuse was unbelievable. His excuse for selling these fake peppers was that they would not kill people. Unbelievable right! And the Considering that fake foods in China do not get investigated until someone dies, how many more items are sold made of fake items and chemicals because they would not kill people.

I’m a sweet potato fan, so this was especially disturbing for me. The Chinese authorities found that a facility in Zhongshan city, China made at least 5.5 tons of fake noodles. A lot of people started complaining that what were supposed to be sweet potato noodles tasted strange. So the authorities started an investigation, and with further investigation they found that the noodles were composed of corn with an industrial ink used to give them a purple color, and paraffin wax. Those were shocking news for all the “sweet potato noodles” consumers!

Chinese people used ginseng root as a popular medicinal plant for over 3,000 years. The prices for ginseng have increased rapidly, pushing many ginseng retailers to figure out a way to keep making profit. So, they came up with a solution! Their solution was to boil the roots in sugar, which makes them much heavier and therefore more profitable. Wei Feng, a Chinese medicine expert from the National Institute for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) said that this is a big problem, not only because the retailers are ripping-off the customers, but also because boiling ginseng in sugar might strip it from most of its medicinal values. Wei Feng conducted a test to prove this. His test showed that while natural ginseng has 20% content of sugar, this fake one is up to 70% sugar. It can do little to improve people’s health, he says.

And, this is the last one, but not least important. Chinese authorities have seized huge amounts of fake rice in all China. It is believed that much of it is produced from potatoes combined with a synthetic resin! Shocking news, right? Just like the peas, the rice stayed hard after boiling and also like the peas, it can have the same side effects. Its long-term consumption could cause cancer to appear. What was the main reason for manufacturing fake and harmful products? To make money, of course! Scam artists have been imitating a popular type of Chinese rice called Wuchang.
