China is the world\u2019s largest exporter of food products. This country uses innovative methods and techniques to bring these products to global markets as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. Unsurprisingly, several foods suffer the consequences. Here is a list of 8 Chinese foods containing dangerous substances that we should avoid.<\/p>\n
1 \u2013 SOY SAUCE
\nThe World Health Organization reveals that this product is classified as a carcinogen. Soy sauce contains 4-methylimidazole (carcinogenic in mice and rats).<\/p>\n
2 \u2013 GINGER
\nAn investigation launched in 2013 showed that the pesticide Aldicarb, approved only for cotton, peanuts, roses, and sweet potatoes, was also used on ginger. Farmers applied it three to six times above the recommended level.<\/p>\n

Industrial salt is not suitable for human consumption, yet industrial salt has been sold as table salt for 13 years! Industrial salt can cause mental and physical problems, hypothyroidism, and reproductive system disorders.<\/p>\n
4 \u2013 FUNGI
\nChlorinating agents, anhydrous calcium chloride, sodium sulfite and other dangerous preservatives are used in mushroom spraying.<\/p>\n
5 \u2013 TILAPIA FISH
\nTilapia is a common farmed fish in China. These fish are among the worst, most toxic, and unhealthiest you can find. A tilapia will eat anything, comparable to a cleaner wrasse, and a fish farm is a small pond of wastewater in which the fish live. This is one of the worst fish purchases you could make, and it\u2019s well known that seafood farmers in China don\u2019t even allow their children to eat the seafood they produce, which should be a red flag. 80% of tilapia comes from China.<\/p>\n
6 \u2013 SHRIMP<\/p>\n

To ensure the shrimp\u2019s survival, farmers used unauthorized antibiotics and chemicals. Thirty samples of shrimp purchased in China were sent to a laboratory at the Institute of Environment and Human Health at Texas Tech University. The result: Antibiotics (enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and nitrofuranzone), banned in the United States and other countries due to their carcinogenic effects, were used in shrimp farming.<\/p>\n
7 \u2013 APPLE JUICE
\nIn 2011, Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that apple juice from China contained very high levels of arsenic. Another study published by Consumer Reports magazine showed that 10% of apple juice samples 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.
\n8 \u2013 CHINESE GARLIC
\nInspectors also found contaminated garlic from China. Chinese garlic is heavily sprayed with chemicals and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste, like a chemical mixture.<\/p>\n\n
