| Wan, Unfortunately, China has too many bad people who just focus on profits and don't care how harmful their products are to the other people. Just read the food safety reports and you will know how many bad people are in China. |

| Quote:Originally Posted by WANHU Perhaps not that many if we compare with its total population?Wan Wan, I have no idea how many of them are bad. But the profits are what the businessmen care about. I was happy when I used to hear "Customers are gods" said by the businessmen. Now I realize that "profits are their rea gods". |

| Every business person wants profit dear Sunnydream, but it is sad to see people tend to go overboard inconsiderately. Someone even suggested to me, to bring my own instant noodles from Malaysia, if I were to travel by train, from Shanghai to Shenzhen because like you said, noodles may be tampered with prohibited additives. I tolod her not to worry as I have not decided my mode of transport although I have bought one-way flight ticket from Shenzhen to Shanghai. Wan |

| Haha, I never eat on the train. I bring some snacks and probably two bottles of mineral water when I take the train. When I was in college, I ate instant noodles a lot. I admit that it smells so damn good. But I have already given it up. Fried noodle cake is no good for people's health. And I am told that it takes around one month to get rid of the harmful substance in the instant noodles. |

| Most instant noodles have MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) as food enhancer and additive. Although FDA of the US allows its use but it is still a controversial issue by certain consumer groups. It is harmful for those having hypertension. Wan |

Some tests on white mouse show that eating too much MSG may cause infant defects, baldness, obesity or nonfunctional sex organs. But humans are not white mice. Normal people still use MSG to season the dishes. Today, chicken essence is much popular than MSG in China. But many consumers do not know that chicken essence is almost the same as MSG. It is made of MSG, chicken, starch and other ingredients. Since chicken is added, than it is called chicken essence. But I have heard that many manufactures don't add chicken when they produce chicken essence. Chicken essence is synthesized but MSG is pure and extracted from grains. I got a tip "Add chicken essence when you cook vegetables and MSG when you cook meat". |

| Most chicken stocks or cubes contain MSG. Some products are only having chicken flavours and no chicken in it. I seldom buy food from outside becayuse I know, most of them cooks, put MSG in their cooking. I don't eat KFC anymore because it has high content of MSG. I always cook for myself and for my family too. Wan |

| Wan, You never add MSG or chicken essence when cooking food? But most restaurants even hotels add MSG or chicken essence into the dishes. It's hard to avoid these two kinds of seasonings when you eat in China. |
