Beware of YELLOW NOODLES!

Saw in the star online, my eyes got bigger for a while when I saw Boric acid found in noodles - "YELLOW noodles made by two renowned factories have been found to contain dangerous chemicals which can cause cancer and impotence, reported Harian Metro".

"The use of boric acid and benzoic acid in food is prohibited because it can cause cancer and impotence, as well as other health problems such as kidney failure, diarrhoea, nausea and even death. It is often used as a preservative for insect control and in the manufacture of furniture and glass. However, noodle manufacturers have opted to use it in their food despite the known health risks, because the noodles stay “fresh” longer"

Alright, can say we are surrounded by food that contains this yellow me.. hokkien mee, lor mee, lam mee, char mee, mee bandung, mee hailam.... u name it... they all consist of the yellow mee! of course its nice...but now they found boric acid that could jeopardize our health... nak makan pun kena jaga-jaga...so the next time go order food, need to consider the amount of yellow mee... I think for me, option would be to change to all bee hoon ....kekkeke...but once in a while eat it shouldn't be that bad gua... ;)

Well, too much for anything in this world is bad..maybe except money :p
