China Exporting Death in food and medicine

[Nazaroo]

Ethelyne Glycol (car antifreeze) being substituted for glycerin in base ingredients for food and medicine by China has killed hundreds, perhaps thousands of people all over the world.

The US govt has given inadequate warnings to American manufacturers.

No, it's diethylene glycol. Equally poison, but tastes better. And oddly enough, this same substitution is the reason the US has a Food and Drug Administration: about 100 people died here in 1937 from, I presume, greedy money-grubbing bastards like the current ones in China.

The recent melamine-in-wheat-gluten that found its way into pet food is similar - but this is far nastier.

Maybe this is how China is going to take over the world, poison everyone stupid enough to buy their products.
