Why so many people kena cancer nowadays!!

Thank JESUS I moved to angmo countries already.

One fifth of China's farmlands are polluted, government says



Nearly one fifth of China's farmland contains pollutants such as cadmium, nickel, and arsenic, reports the Associated Press. The news is outlined in a multi-year soil survey released this week by China's Environment Protection Ministry and its Land and Resources Ministry.

""the overall condition of the Chinese soil allows no optimism.""

The survey, started in 2005, found that 19.4 percent of China's agricultural land is contaminated with heavy metals and other pollutants. The results also indicate that China has an overall soil contamination level of 16.1 percent. Furthermore, researchers found that contaminants were at five times the safety limit in 1.1 percent of the country's soil. Faced with these results, the report said that "the overall condition of the Chinese soil allows no optimism."

The Chinese government has been holding onto these results for a year, reports the AP, and even went as far as classifying the report as a "state secret." But growing public anger over news of cadmium in rice — cadmium is a carcinogenic metal that has been linked to kidney damage — has catalyzed its release.

As expected, the country's most industrialized regions had the highest levels of contamination. Unfortunately, the report doesn't give a detailed list of the contamination levels found in each region. Yet this week's survey release is still considered a step in the right direction by many anti-pollution activists. Don Zhengwei, a Beijing-based anti-trust lawyer, told the AP that keeping the report's results hidden would have only served to make the public's anger stronger, as soil contamination deteriorated and "news of cancer villages and poisonous rice" continued to spring up.

Try tasting Australian Broccoli and China Broccoli from the same supermarket and you know there is a difference. Chives from China are frequency used in Teochew Gu chai kueh /Chives Dumplings.. In my previous job, we found nearly all of them laced with higher levels of pesticides because it is very hard to achieve a good corp yield without massive loads of pesticides.

Also don't eat too much cantonese preserved meats. Last time food are more naturally preserved, now they add a lot of inedible chemicals, so inedible that mother natural can't decompose it and it becomes your favourite preserved food. In the course of my work with facilities from other countries, we realized that HK has one of the world's highest Colorectum cancer rate. Come on lor, it is crazily high in HK. Global average is less than 10% of all cancers (excluding skin cancer) and Colorectum cancer clocks nearly 20% in HK.

It is like kimchi, which was supposed to be more naturally preserved, then bad businessmen went to use toxic cheapo cabbages + chemcials = give you heavy-metal poisoning.

Whatever it is, don't depend on the AVA/NEA/HSA to safeguard your health.

Profits first, you die is your own business.

Don't believe me, go ask Pierre Png and his wife.

Here's another example.

Catfish is sold as some white fish, dolly or whatever fancy names in local supermarkets. They are now breed commercially in Vietnam, thailand, etc. There are so much heavy metals in them that some european supermarkets banned them.

They also contain a great deal of antibiotics which are really not necessary but farm conditions are so poor that the catfish/Sutchi/Dory/Tilapias are fed with these drugs. There is a lot of nice fancy names for these cheap freshwater fish.


Five consignments of fish from Vietnam - including basa fillets, catfish, tilapia and frozen fish cutlets - have been stopped by biosecurity officials this year because they contained enrofloxacin, an antibiotic banned in Australia.

Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria. ( industrial effluents, arsenic, and toxic and hazardous by-products of the growing industrial sector, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), metal contaminants, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) ).

They're fed dead fish remnants and bones, dried and ground into a flour, from South America , manioc ( cassava ) and residue from soy and grains..........

But we eat so much of them in schools, hawkers, army cookhouses, fish & chips stalls, how to ban? Do you realize that ocean fish prices are so expensive now that many poor people cannot afford a decent-sized whole fish from wetmarket these days. Cannot be only only eat Kunning right? Catfish is the cheapest option lor, can you imagine Singaporeans live on an island, cannot afford to eat fish?



PS: I am refering to freshwater fish from some countries. Of course, we don't check for all antibotics in fishes. Yes, your tummy will feel funny when you try eating a lot of them for the whole day if you are older. Please don't get it wrong, the metallic taste in our taste bud after eating might be due to the presence of soil ammonia, natural or human-caused microbes in their flesh, being freshwater fish. It does not 100% hint that your cheap fish is poisoned.

In one of the great ironies of our time, the healthiest part of the food chain - vegetables are now in the category of the great unknown contamination wise. Business travellers now avoid vegetables and salads in so many countries that it is no longer an exception. It is harder to control the supply chain for garden greens than it is for meat and other food produce. Organic vegetables are also not safe in view of misrepresentation and misselling.

Is the white fish in the fish bee hoon soup sold in hawker centre and food court belong to this category of catfish?

Agree on the issues with fish. Gone are the days when fish was daily and meat was weekly. Anyone including the poor could afford fresh fish. In any restaurant fish would be in the expensive category.

I think it is safer to eat meat than eat vegetables outside as the latter are mostly unwashed or not washed properly and the pesticide and harmful chemical will be in higher concentration than meat.

Less-processed food are also healthier/safer options.

Less-processed breads are less soft and frangrance if less additives are used. Traditional french families makes their own bread weekly, and our tasteless traditional roti loaves at neighbourhood bakeries might be less-processed but will rot after 24-48hrs due to our humid climate.

Do you know that bakeries used a lot of chemicals these days and pastries become a highly processed food?
Eg. The hair is dissolved in acid and L-cysteine is isolated through a chemical process, then packaged and shipped off to commercial bread producers. Besides human hair, other sources of L-cysteine include chicken feathers, duck feathers, cow horns and petroleum byproducts.

Same situation applies for our super silky duohua because they add lots of Gypsum powder to soy extracts to give you kidney stones. Alternatively, they can make douhua without gypsum these days by replacing soy with chemical creamers are more silky and requires minimal gypsum. So the best douhua are those less-silky cheapo types from your traditional hawkers.

That's why sometimes I wish for a global hard reset: global war, pandemic, revert back to the ice age, meteor bombardment to take out all the orbiting satellites etc. Destroy the current civilization and its institutions, wipe the slate clean and start afresh. Think of it as reformatting your hard disk.

ya, even for health reasons, some vegetarians diet are more likely to cause constipation too.

Worse of all, A lot of your vegan or healthier-choices are using soy-proteins right? Actually, it is because soy-proteins are cheaper lor, not because your health is more important.

Do you know that many of these soybeans are immersed n-hexane (neurotoxin) to extract the proteins?

I understand that most fish bee hoon or porridge soup in hawker centre use good fresh ocean catch.
The above mentioned fresh-water white fish appears frequently in our fish-n-chips menus.

Grouper is not a good fish, although it is expensive, as its mercury content is high.

Wah 63boy. Really cant agree with u more.

This planet has to start all over again....from scrap!

Could also be in the past many illness are fatal. So people die younger due to other illness.

Now only a few are not curable, especially Cancer.

Cos they vote for the wrong Party!
