A level 5 health alert has been issued by the Malaysian Ministry of Health for dried and pickled fruits from China and Taiwan. It seems that 18 types of such pickles have been found to contain high degrees of lead.
Consuming too much of these types of food can lead to:
- damage to nerve connections (especially in young children);
- damage to nervous system;
- blood and brain disorders;
- damage to or disease of the kidney and colic-like abdominal pains;
- weakness in fingers, wrists and ankles;
- increased blood pressure;
- anaemia;
- miscarriage;
- damage to reproductive organs.
Oh my God! And I have been taking sooooo many types of jeruk for soooo many years. I am full of lead already.
