Truth Behind the Fresh looking Fruits And Vegetables

The Truth behind Fresh Looking Fruits and Vegetables

Recently there are some Shocking video that echoed like on Facebook showing how fruits and vegetables are injected with chemicals to make it seem fresher. The chemical that is shown in the video, erythrosine B, is commonly used in desserts like some candy and gels to decorate cakes. It is also used for the colour of pistachio shells and is full of additives (E127).

Erythrosine

Back in 1990 the FDA launched a partial ban on the use of erythrosine, because, many studies showed that excessive consumption caused cancer in tested rats. In June 2008, the Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has asked the FDA to issue a total ban on erythrosine in the United States.

On the other hand, a number of toxicological tests and a review of other published studies experts led to the conclusion that erythrosine is not genotoxic.

The video is attached below, see it for yourself:

Chemicals often used for ripening of fruits and for fresh look of vegetables. These chemicals are dangerous as they harm our health adversely and should be banned.

If you see brinjals that shine, apples that glow and chillies that cause temptation to touch them. You better think twice before you buy them.  They look so fresh that the customers buy them without knowing that there is poison behind the glow and shine of vegetables and fruits, we even pay MORE MONEY to buy them.

This Oxytocin hormone was given to pregnant women for controlling heavy bleeding during delivery, for sufficient production of milk and to improve the chances of getting pregnant one more time. It has been proved that if Oxytocin levels in the body increase, it will affect the nervous system and cause other nerve related problems.

Oxytocin is now available everywhere and easy to obtain in black market. This is injected into the vegetables to look fresh and into the fruits to ripe them quickly. This hormone is given to brinjals, pumpkin and cucumber. Copper Sulphate is used to bring artificial glow to fruits and vegetables. Calcium carbide is used to ripening fruits. This damages the lungs.
