Health News - About Sugar Cane Drinks

A friend whose father works for the government health inspection
passed on his info. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their
cooked
food, their store hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has
the
highest content of bacteria among all food. In fact, it has
exceeded the
set limit. Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went round
all
sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their
sugar
cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they
couldn't find
the problem.

One day, they stayed till closing time and discovered some
shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they
would
wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining sugar
canes
will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and
as
sugar canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid
around
them.
Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers' boots, cats' urine,
etc, will all be absorbed??

Now, whenever I eat at a hawker centre, I would warn all my
friends about this and of course I stopped drinking my favourite
sugar
cane juice.

A friend, who loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was
always drinking sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried
and the
fetus was already like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the
doctors did
an autopsy to find out why all of a sudden the fetus had died
inside
her, they found traces of some chemical substance, which was
found in
cat urine. Large traces of it.

While it would not be able to harm adults, it was extremely toxic
to babies,what more a fetus? So they tried to determine how this
cat
urine thing could have ended up in the fetus. This meant that it
had to
be digested by the mother, right?

And the only logical conclusion they could come up with was that
since these sugar cane juice stall holders just leave the canes
lying
around on the wet and dirty floor, it would not be impossible to
think
that stray cats could have peed on those sugar canes or near
those sugar
canes. So think carefully the next time you order that favourite
sugar
cane juice!

Please pass this on to everyone you know in S'pore & M'sia.

Let's take action to make this world a better & safer place for
ALL of us & the generations to come.
