About Sugar Cane drinks
A friend whose pa works for the government health inspection
passed on this info. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their
cooked food,
their store hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has the
highest
content of bacteria among all food. In fact, it has exceeded the
set
limit. Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went around all
sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their
sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire
procedure.
But they couldn't find the problem. One day, they stayed till
closing time and
discovered some shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their
stores,
they would wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining
sugar
canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing
and as sugar
canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid around
them.
Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers' boots, cats'urine,
etc, will all be absorbed.
Now, whenever I eat at a hawker centre, I would warn all my friends
about this and
of course I stopped drinking my favourite sugar cane juice.
A friend, who loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was always
drinking
sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried and the foetus was
already
like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the doctors did an autopsy to
find out why
all of a sudden the foetus had died inside her, they found traces
of some chemical
substance, which was found in cat urine. Large traces of it.
While it would not be able to harm adults,! it was extremely toxic
to babies, what more a foetus?
So they tried to determine how this cat urine thing could have
ended up in the foetus. This meant that it had to be digested by
the mother, right? And the only logical conclusion they could come
up with was that since these sugar cane juice stall holders just
leave the canes lying around on the wet and dirty floor, it would
not be impossible to think that stray
cats could have peed on those sugar canes or near those sugar
canes. So think carefully the next time you order that favourite
sugar cane juice!
