Recently, I published an article about fake rice being produced in China. The rice is made from plastic, believe it or not, and nobody is doing anything about it. Naturally, as a health advocate and researcher of food and how food is processed, I thought, this is going way too far.Buy vitamins and supplementsGroceries

Plastic rice? Even ingesting small amounts of plastic is terrible for the digestive system and hormones. The BPA (a chemical) in plastic mimics estrogen, and this hormone spikes in the body when BPA is ingested. Eat plastic rice, and you’re essentially asking to die young from breast cancer.

Every now and then, I hear something crazy about China like this, and I’ve always been wary of food from China for this reason. You have to consider that not only is food shipped halfway around the world (just think about what could happen during that time and the potential for exposure or contamination), but beyond that, look at what some Chinese companies are doing to food. They’re adulterating it and making it as cheap as humanly possible. China is using the innovative methods they employ to manufacture inexpensive technology, toys, and other consumer goods, and applying that same mindset to food, which is dangerous.
