Something to think about

I received an email from a friend with a warning on ....

"CANCEROUS FOODS / PRODUCTS


SATAY LOVERS (BARBECUE)

If you all eat Satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating

Satay together with carbon after barbequing can cause cancer.


But we have a cure for that... Cucumber should be eaten after we eat the

Satay because Satay has carcinogen (a cancer causing element) but cucumber

is anti-carcinogenic. So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you

have Satay's.


PRAWNS (SUGPO) & VIT C

DO NOT eat shrimp / prawn if you have just taken VITAMIN C pills!!

This will cause you to DIE in ARSENIC (As) toxication within HOURS!!


INSTANT NOODLES

Dear instant noodle lovers,

Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles

before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a

doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after

hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the

Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant

noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.


If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market,

one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This

layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.


Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to

prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he

cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking

them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the

noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents

noodles from sticking together.


The hawker then 'lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles

from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for

spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the

spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a

big clump of spaghetti!


There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his

career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He

got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles.

The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax.

There was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house

into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal.

He had cancer, and has since died from it.


Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as 'cancer noodles'.


SHAMPOO

Cancer-causing substance in shampoos. Go home and check your shampoo. Change

before it's too late... Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle,

and see they have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or

simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos; manufacturers use it

because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap. BUT the fact is, SLS is

used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong!!! It is also proven that

it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. Shampoos that

contains SLS: Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal, the new Hemp Shampoo

from Body Shop etc. contain this substance.


The first ingredient listed (which means it is the single most prevalent

ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Therefore, I called one company, and I told them their product contains a

substance that will cause people to have cancer. They said, Yeah we knew

about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we need that

substance to produce foam. By the way Colgate toothpaste also contains the

same substance to produce the 'bubbles'. They said they are going to send me

some information.


Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out

of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3,

which is very serious. Therefore, I hope that you will take this seriously

and pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we can stop

'giving' ourselves cancer-causing agents."

If you are in doubt just throw out...
