A Chinese chemistry teacher displays how to make green tea, fruit juice and other kinds of beverages with water and food additives. According to him, most tea and fruit juice beverages are made from water and food additives.

Some of his students put him on the microblogs. Many people who saw it said that they wouldn’t drink beverage anymore.

What do you think of the food additives? Do you drink beverages very often?

Food additives, artificial colouring and artificial flavour.

I just drink bottled purified water outside. Some day, Chinese people will disappear in the world. You know why? I really can not understand why Chinese businessmen try to 'kill' their own fellowmen.

Even purified water sometimes just strained (not really filtered) tap water.

It's true. Should I boil some water at home and bring it when I go outside?

For me I use both, mineral water and boiled water. Boiled water is without minerals.

I doubt if there are minerals in the mineral water. I am not sure if you had heard of Kangshifu mineral water. It was once reported that some factories just put tap water in the bottles and sold them as mineral water.

It seems that I have no choice but drink boiled water.

Tap water still have minerals, dear Sunnydream, but contains chlorine. Most of the time beside mineral and boiled water, I drink tea. I like both pu'er and lonjing tea.

Except chlorine, there are bacteria in the tap water too. That's why we need boil tap water and then drink it.

Previously, I read about that only about 53% water works were disqualified to supply qualified tap water in 2009. I was shocked. A few days later, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China claimed that the qualification rate reached 83% in 2011, meaning that 17% water works still can't supply qualified tap water.

Why can't those disqualified water works be disclosed?

I have no comment on China domestic affairs. We are supposed to adhere to rules and regulations stipulated, but nought, sometimes people tend to transgress.

I used to assist a friend in supplying cooking palm oil but to my dismay he added unauthorised additive for more profit, illicitly. Do you know that most palm oil producers and suppliers are quite reluctant to supply their edible oil to mainland China?
