Subject: FW: DONT USE DISPOSABLE CHOPSTICKS
This is a true case, if you don't believe try the following
test:
Soak a pair of disposable chopsticks (usually given to you when you
buy
pack food from a Chinese take-away)for between 3 to 5 minutes
inside hot
boiling water. Within minutes and right infront of your eyes, you
will
noticed that some white colouring matter seems to be dissolved into
the
hot water from the chopsticks. What is released from the chopsticks
is
actually a chemical, a bleaching agent.
In a campaign promoting healthy care in Singapore recently,
Professor Jackson Mathis reminds people not to use disposable
chopsticks, as almost the majority of them are made in or imported
from China. He explained that during the manufacturing process of
disposable chop-sticks before the actual production itself, all raw
materials are already cover-grown with germs that make the wood
materials look like they are coated in multiple colours or are
covered with poisonous fungus. The first process itself is already
frightening
as the manufacturer starts the process by soaking up the wooden raw
materials inside a very big container that is filled with a very
toxic and highly
poisonous chemical. This chemical is intentionally added in inorder
to
preserve the materials. After a few days of soaking, they are then
washed with an even worse cleaning agent, in this case it is a
bleaching agent (which chemical ph level is believe to be more Than
a thousand times over the general permissible/acceptable
international standards).
And guess what? These chemicals itself is likely to cause greater
harm to our health (if we continue consuming such chemicals into
our body on a daily basis) not forgetting that since these
chemicals used are usually carcinogenic in nature, they are likely
to cause cancer.
Since his last visit to a disposable chopsticks manufacturing plant
in
China 5 years ago, Professor Jackson Mathis has immediately stop
using such disposable chopsticks anymore. In Professor Jackson
case, just in case if he ever forgets to bring along his own pair
of chopsticks for lunch or dinner, he usually make sure that he do
not forget to put one pair of it inside his bag since it can be
re-use again and again.
Professor Jackson Mathis said: "If you have been using disposable
chopsticks in the past, and you insist on continue using them
again, please pause and think for a moment. Why is cancer spreading
like wild fire these days throughout the world affecting all sorts
of people. After that think of how many pairs of disposable
chopsticks a factory in China is producing by the minute. The
answer itself is right here!"
