Is what we considered to be the guarantee of health giving us cancer? Know the whole truth about the debate on eggs: – ..
News India Live, Digital Desk: Since childhood, we have been taught “Be it Sunday or Monday, eat eggs every day.” Be it winter or summer, our breakfast plate seems incomplete without eggs. People who go to the gym eat several eggs a day. But, just think, if you come to know that what you are eating to build your body is making your body hollow from inside, then?
Yes, it may sound strange, but a news from Karnataka has scared even good people. There, such a controversy has arisen regarding the quality of eggs and some chemicals present in them that the government had to intervene. Let us understand in simple language what is the matter and do we really need to be afraid.
Why is there sudden commotion?
The fact is that for the last few days, some reports and social media are claiming that antibiotics and chemicals which can cause cancer have been found in some eggs available in the market.
The names of these dangerous chemicals are- ‘Nitrofuran’ And ‘Nitroimidazole’,
Now you will ask what is this problem? So understand, poultry farm owners often use these medicines to protect chickens from diseases or to make them grow faster. But the problem is that they can act as “slow poison” for human health and their use in food items is banned in many places around the world.
What did the government do?
When it came to the question of people’s lives, the Karnataka government came into action. Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao took the issue very seriously. He gave clear instructions to the officials that, “Don’t go by mere talk, collect samples from the market and check.”
The authorities have collected samples of eggs from different shops and malls in Bengaluru and surrounding areas and sent them to the lab. The government wants to know whether this is just mere talk or whether people’s health is really being played with.
Should we stop eating eggs now?
This question is in everyone’s mind. So the answer is- Don’t panic yet.
The Health Minister himself has consoled the people. He said that every time the things that spread on social media are not true. Last time also such investigation was done and everything was found fine then. Therefore, there is no need to panic and stop eating and drinking until the lab report comes (which will come in 4-5 days).
So what to do now?
Some caution is warranted.
- Don’t fall for cheap: Always buy eggs from a clean and reliable place.
- Do not eat raw egg: Try to eat eggs only after cooking them properly, because cooking them well often reduces the risk.
- Be aware: Start asking questions about what you eat and drink, because health is everything.
If the report is found to be flawed, the government has promised that the culprits will not be spared. Until then, ignore the rumors and stay healthy!
