6 – SHRIMP
To ensure the survival of shrimp, farmers used unauthorized antibiotics and chemicals. 30 samples of shrimp purchased in China were sent to a laboratory at the Institute for Environment and Human Health at Texas Tech University. Result: Antibiotics (enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol and nitrofuranzone) banned in the United States and other countries for their carcinogenic effects were used in shrimp farming.
7 – APPLE JUICE
In 2011, Dr. Mehmet Oz reported that apple juice from China contained very high levels of arsenic. Another research published by Consumer Reports magazine showed that 10% of the apple juices sampled 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.
8 – CHINESE GARLIC
Inspectors have also found contaminated garlic from China. Chinese garlic is heavily sprayed with chemicals and this garlic leaves an unpleasant aftertaste, that of a chemical concoction.
