Coming to a Chinese restaurant near you!
Apparently the Chinese aren’t very tolerant either...
This is what the stamping out of religion and traditional morality will get you.
I’ve heard it from those who’ve been there. Your average Chinee cares about his immediate family and friends and to hell with everyone else.
They happily poison each other and the world at large for profit.
I hope whoever mixed up and sold that vinegar ends up using melamine-tainted mouthwash someone else made and sold.
I wonder if the vinegar was Halal?
Antifreeze typically has dye in it, doesn’t it. The base chemical in antifreeze, glycol (either triethylene or diethylene glycol) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid.
For TEG or DEG to have that kind of health effect it would have to be in larger quanties that simply found in residue from an unwashed container. TEG and DEG are primarily toxic to the liver but trace amounts are not going to cause immeidate death, damage yes, death no.
If “anti freeze” was the substance that caused the poisoning, then liver failure would have been the cause of death. Again, large quanties would have to have caused it. What I can’t figure out is why someone would cut vinegar with a glycol, even if they thought it was food grade.
propelyen glycol would be the food grade variety of glycol. Have a look at ingredients in shampoo and moist and chewy cookies. You will find propelyene glycol as an additive. In shampoo it is used for dry hair forumulas because glycol attracts moisture, thus making dry hair not dry. The same goes for moist and chewy type cookies. It keeps the cookies moist.
