Deliciously toxic, OK with you?
A drop of "一滴香" (Yat Take Heung) can change your boiling water into a bowl of delicious soup. Would you buy this super concentrated seasoning without knowing what it is made up? Check out what CCTV discovered during their investigation.

ONIONS. Not for cooking only.

Smelly no more and safe
Don't like the smell in your house?
Before you pay for that can of air freshener make sure that it is a "phthalate-free," product. Product labeled "fragrance" on it most likely contains some form of phthalate, such as, phthatates compounds such as DBP (di-n-butyl phthalate) or DEP (diethyl phthalate), which can easily evaporate into food or the atmosphere to affect your health.
Here is another green option you can try.

Car Key your best Alarm System
From My InBox:
What to take to bed with you - not a joke .
Pretty neat idea. Never thought of it before.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbours, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbours, your parents, your Dr's office, the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighbourhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it.
It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.
It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.
After a few seconds all the neighbours will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
P.S.
I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic.
Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him.. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.

THE DANGER OF USING WARM/ HOT WATER DISPENSER !!
From My InBox:
Sin Chiew's article on re-boiled water......spells danger!
See Attachment in Chinese media.
Translated version as follows:-
THIS IS NOT A NEW DISCOVERY BUT MANY OF US JUST IGNORE IT ALL THE WHILE!
A pharmacist report from Singapore warn people NEVER to keep boiling your drinking water!!
Report Summary: TOP harmful chemical named (Toxic Nitrate) is produced in water when you keep boiling it!! This harmful substance had been proved to increase the chances of intestinal and stomach cancer.
IF you are currently using a 'WATER DISPENSER with WARM / HOT WATER Functions' or 'Electric AUTO keep warm Thermos' for your convenience , STOP IT NOW otherwise you would be killing yourself slowly as well as your loved ones!!
NOWADAYS, there are so many drinking water companies which OFFER FREE WATER DISPENSER when you order drinking water from them! THINK WISELY before you order!
YOU might get FREE water dispenser but in fact you would be paying with your OWN HEALTH!!

Stroke - Symptoms and Prevention
From My InBox:
Three years ago I was struck down by a stroke. Three years later I am still stricken with the malady. In the beginning, I asked doctors about the condition and was told that there is no cure for stroke. . I asked about the symptoms and was told there are no symptoms meaning a stroke will attack a person suddenly, without warning. That is bad news, very bad news.
Following my own advice, I did not believe that. So, I thought back to my experiences and I found that there are plenty of signs that a person is susceptible to an attack of the deadly stroke. Hah! If you cannot cure it at least you can prevent it. That is what we should all do. We must choose to avoid the stroke or be condemned to consuming tons of pills whose veracity is questionable. How do we go about that, how can we prevent stroke. Will it be expensive? Will it be time consuming? Before we go into details let us first recognize the symptoms, the signs if you like.
More than thirty years ago, while reversing my car, I suddenly found that I could not move my right leg. It simply refused to obey me. I went to see a doctor immediately and all I got was two days medical leave. That was the first sign that I was heading for a stroke. After two days rest, I was back on my feet as if nothing had happened. I just put it down to work stress and physical and mental exhaustion. When I was afflicted with the stroke and certain parts of my body refused to obey me I realized that I had experienced that feeling before.
I will now endeavor to put down on paper, for you, the other signs so that you may recognize a potential victim before the stroke strikes and be able to take evasive steps to prevent it happening. These signs will be presented randomly as they come to mind.
1. When walking you stumble even on level ground.
2. You kick the legs of chairs and tables when you usually walk pass them effortlessly. 1 & 2 is because your legs are not as strong as they used to be although you do not realize it.
3. You sometimes find you cannot pronounce the 'ar' sound and it comes out as 'el', your speech is slurred and sometimes you drool.
4. The pen you are holding slips from your fingers. Holding up the newspaper can be a problem because your fingers have lost their flexibility. You think it is clumsiness when in truth it is not. It is caused by your muscles having lost their strength.
5. After sitting for some time you find that you cannot stand up as usual. You lose your balance and fall back onto the seat.
6. You also lose your balance when you squat and may find yourself sitting instead of standing up.
7. You are always sleepy even after a good night's sleep. This sleepiness is quite different from the usual tiredness you experience after a restless or late night.
8. Urinating has become a problem. Instead of a strong stream what you get is a trickle and this causes you to go to the toilet often.
9. Constipation becomes more frequent as your rectal muscles do not work well anymore.
10. Sometimes you will find you are forgetful and mental activities become difficult as your brain weakens through lack of nourishment. Blood is not getting through to your brain quickly enough.
Some of these signs will come and go, so much so that you do not take them seriously when they do occur. You tend to pass them off as signs of physical and mental stress and fatigue or in certain cases of aging. Since there is no pain you do not think it necessary to see a doctor. Anyway, the signs come on only momentarily and disappear almost at once. So that you think it is not anything serious and a visit to a doctor is out of the question, until it is too late that is. Then, it is the doctor who has to come to you. Another thing, the signs are similar to many other diseases and illnesses which are quite common. Seeing a doctor would be rather pointless, as far as a stroke is concerned, as you would only describe the symptoms you are experiencing at that particular moment.
Now we come to the important part of this discourse, how do we prevent stroke. What can we do or rather what should we do when these signs appear one by one. Let it be known that I am not a doctor and never in my dreams do I even pretend to be one. So what I am about to tell you is mostly from my own experience. Firstly, when you find that your body is not functioning as it should, that some parts are slacking and not obeying your brain as it normally does, you should start exercising. Go for long walks. Incidentally, you will experience immediate benefits even while exercising, such as clearer vision and mental alertness. Make it a habit to go for walks at least three times a week. Do not stop. I did go for walks but then I stopped when the symptoms disappeared. I made the mistake of not exercising for far too long and then it was too late. The stroke struck!
Remember, regular exercise is very important in promoting blood circulation. Of course, other forms of exercises will be just as good for you. One word of advise, exercises performed with the use of machines are not necessarily the best and that is why I advocate free hand exercises like walking, jogging and swimming.
Drinking lots of water helps immensely. Drink two glasses of water first thing in the morning every morning. Then drink one or two mouthfuls every half hour or whenever thirsty. This is to provide the blood stream with a regular supply of fresh water as our body gets rid of water all the time. We lose water when we breathe, sweat and urinate. Lack of water means poor blood circulation which can lead to stroke.
Eating proper foods is also important and I mean greens and fruits on a daily basis. Everything else can be enjoyed in moderation. A monk who practices healing advised me on certain foods to take to prevent the occurrence of stroke.
It is my pleasure to be able to share it with you here. He said that to prevent stroke I should drink a soup made of one cucumber and one red tomato. Boil them together, strain and drink one or two glasses daily. That will help prevent the blood from coagulating (or is it congealing?). Stroke affects the brain and the best remedy for it is egg yolk. The monk suggested I take the yolk from free-range chickens leaving out the white. The egg must be hard boiled. Consuming egg yolks is also recommended for elderly people as well as school children because it helps to nourish the brain and thus improves memory.
What do we do when someone is suddenly seized by a stroke? Chinese physicians will use a pin to prick the ends of the fingers and toes, all twenty of them, and squeeze out a few drops of blood from each prick. The logic is that by drawing blood one is stimulating the flow of blood. Think of it as unlocking a traffic jam. The needle must first be disinfected by putting it over a flame and wiped clean with tissue paper. Everyone and anyone can do this because there is absolutely no danger whatsoever. Wait, not everybody can do that. Oh? Yes, those people who are afraid of blood, else we will have two patients instead of one.
Okey, you are now as expert as I am in the matter of strokes. Share the information herein with anyone and everyone who is willing to lend you their ears. Perhaps, there will be less people afflicted with the dreaded stroke (slight shiver).
MAY YOU ALL ALWAYS BE WELL,
MAY YOU ALL ALWAYS BE HAPPY.

What's drowning like?
What's drowning like? This is a question I never thought of asking until I read a newsletter from Dr Ben Kim. It reminded me of a near drowning experience I had as a kid, which was exactly what was described in this video. Watch it and you may save a life one day.

Cell / Transmission Towers & Your Health

Never Never Never do this!
According to Snopes, this story is partially true. A point to note is not to use third party or counterfeit battery for your mobile phones.
============================================================================
From My InBox:
JUST A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US!
Never, Never, Never do this.
A few days ago, a person was recharging his mobile phone at home.
Just at that time a call came in and he answered it with the Instrument still connected to the outlet.
After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud..
His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.
He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Cell phones are a very useful modern invention.
However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death.
Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!
FORWARD THIS TO THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE!!!!

MaLing Pork Luncheon Meat Banned
I have verified that information in this email is true at asiaone.com and Centre for Food Safety, Hong Kong.
Take time to read the article from asiaone.com for alternative to Maling Luncheon Meat.
=======================================================================
From My InBox:
Pork Luncheon Meat Banned
Don't eat, pls.
There goes the world's yummiest luncheon pork.
Banned Can Food!
Cancer-causing antibiotic found in popular luncheon pork
SINGAPORE- The agent of a popular mainland canned pork product has initiated a recall and suspended sales after tests showed a sample contained a cancer-causing antibiotic.
The Centre for Food Safety yesterday revealed this after laboratory tests showed a sample of Shanghai Ma Ling B2 340g pork luncheon meat (less sodium) was found to have traces of nitrofurans.
The batch number is B2 5 for the product, which carries a best-before date of December 26, 2009 . According to the sole agent, the canned pork was imported on only two occasions - last December and January this year. The scare spread when Singapore 's Agri -Food and Veterinary Authority detected carcinogenic traces in a consignment of canned pork from Ma Ling and Gulong food processing factories.
These brands have been banned from entering Singapore since August 2007 for containing nitrofurans( an antibiotic for pigs)
Chinese Malaysians pls be cautious !- Including Portuguese Malaysians (and Indians!) who enjoy this Luncheon Pork.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK!
No harm giving this a try. Someone commented in an email to me:
But the virus will not necessary start from top to bottom approach as it might start from bottom to top. In addition to that, virus could just initialise other subsystem or another delivery program to perform this (not using outlook express, outlook or thunderbird).
Read this article for more information.
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/quickfix.asp
==========================================================
From My InBox:
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ADDRESS BOOK!
I learned a computer trick today that's really ingenious in its simplicity.
As you may know, when/if a worm virus gets into your computer it heads
straight for your email address book, and sends itself to everyone in there,
thus infecting all your friends and associates.
This trick won't keep the virus from getting into your computer, but it will
stop it from using your address book to spread further, and it will alert you
to the fact that the worm has gotten into your system.
Here's what you do:
First,
open your address book and click on 'new contact,' just as you would do if
you were adding a new friend to your list of email addresses.
In the window where you would type your friend's first name, type in 'A'.
For the screen name or email address, type ' AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA '.
Now, here's what you've done and why it works:
The 'name' 'A' will be placed at the top of your address book as entry#1.
This will be where the worm will start in an effort to send itself to all your friends.
But, when it tries to send itself to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAA ,
it will be undeliverable because of the phony email address you entered.
If the first attempt fails (which it will because of the phony address),
the worm goes no further and your friends will not be infected.
Here's the second great advantage of this method:
If an email cannot be delivered, you will be notified of this in your In Box
almost immediately.
Hence, if you ever get an email telling you that an email addressed to AAAAAAA@AAA.AAAA could not be delivered,
you know right away that you have the worm virus in your system.
You can then take steps to get rid of it!
Pretty slick huh?
If everybody you know does this then you need not ever worry about
opening mail from friends.
Pass this on to all your friends!!!

IMAGES OF VICTIMS OF AIDS
If the thoughts of showing your children the gruesome pictures of the ravages of aid on victims below put you off, then share with them this story posted by Anny on SlideShare.
Thanks for sharing Anny.
================================================================================
From My InBox:
According to the medical profession, it is not possible to find a cure for the AIDS virus. Patients with AIDS will have to suffer and eventually die a very painful death. Many young people have died. Please pass this mail to all; and it is hoped that they must not misbehave sexually.

Pangas fish (Dory Fish)
I received this message from a friend. Though I am not able to verify if this message is true, I would rather play on the safe side and post this message since my children love to eat fish and chips and I tend to buy fillet of Dory.
However, I managed to find an article on "Frozen fish" a Food safety write up by CHIA JOO SUAN.
He said that seafood must be kept chilled or frozen to maintain freshness. Stale seafood has a substance build up known as histamine and these are some of the symptoms of people who are allergic to it:
1) itching on the lips
2) flushes
3) nausea
4) vomiting and hives
5) in severe cases, difficulty in breathing.
These reactions can occur immediately or later after eating stale seafood.
Read his article on how fish freshness are maintained commercially. Note that:
1) marinating fish with salt or sugar slows down the growth of bacteria.
2) Fish treated with carbon monoxide is bright red when first defrosted. So even if the fish has not been kept at temperatures low enough to maintain freshness, the fish would still look good enough to eat when in actual fact, it may have started to deteriorate.
I would love to hear from anyone who can verify this.
===================================================================================
From My InBox:
A lot of the cafes and coffee houses use Dory fish for their fish & chips!
Please share this forwarded article with your family!
It is called Sutchi and I saw many housewives snatching up the fish at
supermarkets as they are really reasonably priced. The fish looks
good but read the article and you will be shocked.
My colleague who deals with seafood confirmed that this is true. This
product is from Vietnam and unless you know the right supplier which
most of us won't, so be safe!
Hi all:
Sutchi is sold in Singapore supermarkets and I've got a stinking
feeling its the same thing!
To be 100% sure that we're not eating Pangas, better not order fish n
chips when eating out!!
Do you eat this frozen fish called Pangas ? France . The French are
slurping up Pangas like it's their last meal of soup noodles. They are
very, very affordable (cheap), are sold in filets with no bones and
they have a neutral (bland) flavor and texture; many would compare it
to cod and sole, only much cheaper. But as tasty as some people may
find it, there's, in fact, something hugely unsavory about it. I hope
the information provided here will serve as very important information
for you and your future choices. Here's why I think it is better left
in the shops (and not on your dinner plates):
1. 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) ).
The reasons are that the Mekong River is one of the most polluted
rivers on the planet and this is where pangas are farmed and
industries along the river dump chemicals and industrial waste
directly into it. To Note: a friend lab tests these fish and tells us
to avoid eating them due to high amounts of contamination. Regardless
of the reports and recommendations against selling them, the
supermarkets still sell them to the general public knowing they are
contaminated.
2. They freeze Pangas in contaminated river water.
3. Pangas are not environmentally sustainable, a most unsustainable
food you could possibly eat - 'Buy local' means creating the least
amount of environmental harm as possible. This is the very opposite
end of the spectrum of sustainable consumerism. Pangas are raised in
Vietnam .. Pangas are fed food that comes from Peru ( more on that
below ), their hormones ( which are injected into the female Pangas )
come from Chin a . ( More about that below ) and finally, they are
transported from Vietnam to France . That's not just a giant carbon
foot print, that's a carbon continent of a foot print.
4. There's nothing natural about Pangas - 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. This kind of
nourishment doesn't even remotely resemble what they eat in nature.
But what it does resemble is the method of feeding mad cows ( cows
were fed cows, remember? ). What they feed pangas is completely
unregulated so there are most likely other dangerous substances and
hormones thrown into the mix. The pangas grow at a speed light (
practically! ) : 4 times faster than in nature¡Kso it makes you wonder
what exactly is in their food? Your guess is as good as mine.
5. Pangas are Injected with Hormones Derived from Urine - I don't know
how someone came up with this one out but they've discovered that if
they inject female Pangas with hormones made from the dehydrated urine
of pregnant women, the female Pangas grow much quicker and produce
eggs faster ( one Panga can lay approximately 500,000 eggs at one time
). Essentially, they're injecting fish with hormones ( they come all
of the way from a pharmaceutical company in Chin a ) to speed up the
process of growth and reproduction. That isn't good. Some of you might
not mind eating fish injected with dehydrated pee, so if you don't,
good for you, but just consider the rest of the reasons to NOT eat
it..
6. You get what you pay for - and then some. Don't be lured in by
insanely cheap price of Pangas. Is it worth risking your health and
the health of your family?
7. Buying Pangas supports unscrupulous, greedy evil corporations and
food conglomerates that don't care about the health and well-being of
human beings. They only are concerned about selling as many pangas as
possible to unsuspecting consumers. These corporations only care about
selling and making more money at whatever cost to the public.
8. Pangas will make you sick - If ( for reasons in #1 above ) you
don't get immediately ill with vomiting, diarrhea and effects from
severe food poisoning, congratulations, you have an iron stomach! But
you're still ingesting POISON not poisson.
Final important note: Because of the prodigious amount of availability
of Pangas, be warned that they will certainly find their way into
other foods: surimi ( those pressed fish things, imitation crab sticks
), fish sticks, fish terrines, and probably in some pet foods. ( Warn
your dogs and cats and hamsters and gerbils and even your pet fish! )
So, when you do your next round of shopping of frozen fish,
or eating out at cafes / food stalls by choosing fish-&-chips, think twice !!
You have been warned !!!

Publicity stint that stinks.
I received the following comment in my posting, "They struck oil! In the trash.".
I went to the weblog to check it out and see that it provides Soccer / Football Live Score and they run this service through request for donations. It is clearly not related to my write up on my blog so I was wondering why he linked me. Then I noticed among his list of donors, my blog link was included with a claim that I have donated USD30.00.
This is not true and may give others a false impression that I advocate this site. I have requested the commenter to remove my blog link.
Now I am wondering what other "objectives" I have supposedly supported through such linkings.
