珍珠奶茶

珍珠奶茶在給人們的味蕾帶來甜美刺激的同時,也給人的健康帶來隱患。奶精是珍珠奶茶之魂,十杯鮮奶的味道,也不如一勺奶精來得香濃。奶精的主要成分氫化植物油是一種反式脂肪酸。
專家指出:每天一杯500cc珍珠奶茶中反式脂肪酸含量已超出正常人體承受極限,飲用者易患心血管疾病。奶精使奶茶變得香濃,源自於奶精中一種名為‘植脂末’的化學物質。這種物質中含有砷(砒霜)、鉛、銅等有害物質,長期攝入,可增加患冠心病、腫瘤、哮喘等疾病的機率,幼兒更會變得智力低下。

吃「珍珠」等於吃塑膠!珍珠奶茶正因為這些黑色的小顆粒而得名,我們一般叫它為珍珠粉圓,公開的主材料是木薯澱粉。然而,單純的木薯澱粉並不能讓珍珠彈性十足,如今比較通用做法是在其中加入小麥蛋白。


即便如此,有的商家也覺得彈性還不夠,為了讓珍珠更有“嚼頭”,於是再添加人工合成的高分子材料。說白了,高分子材料就是塑膠,這也是行業內心照不宣的秘密。這樣的成分不可能被人體吸收,吃塑膠是什麼結果,大家可以想像。

Forex trading leh......

People beware Forex scam.

Bank Negara Malaysia issued a statement regarding Forex trading in Malaysia:
http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=8&pg=14&ac=1976

The article:

Ref No: 01/10/01

Embargo: For immediate release

Beware of Illegal Foreign Currency Trading Schemes

Bank Negara Malaysia would like to caution members of the public not to participate in any illegal investment or training programme on foreign currency trading offered by individuals or companies both domestic and foreign.

Members of the public are usually enticed to attend such investment or training programmes with promises of quick and good returns. The modus operandi of such programmes have included:

  • Offering free training, seminars or workshops to lure investors, prior to inviting investors to set-up an online foreign currency trading account with a principal company (purported to have valid licence to trade foreign currency overseas);
  • Providing convenient access to the principal company's website and trading facilities to facilitate online foreign currency trading by investors;
  • Recruitment of fresh graduates as marketing executives and encouraging them to get their family and friends to trade foreign currency; and
  • Requiring investors to deposit an amount of money into a bank account to begin trading foreign currency, and subsequently, requesting for a top up on their initial investment ("margin call") to avoid losing their capital.

Under the Exchange Control Act 1953 (ECA), it is an offence for a person in Malaysia to buy or sell foreign currency or do any act which involves, is in association with, or is preparatory to, buying or selling of foreign currency with any person, other than an authorised dealer. It is also an offence for a person to aid or abet another person to buy or sell foreign currency with any person, unless the person is an authorised dealer.

The list of authorised dealers and financial institutions permitted by the Controller of Foreign Exchange to buy or sell foreign currency can be obtained from Bank Negara Malaysia's website (http://www.bnm.gov.my).

For further enquiries, members of the public can contact Bank Negara Malaysia at:
