Po Chai pills , anti-heaty tea and herbal steamed eggs

Salam,
Memang dah lama Ubat  tau Pil tu ada kat pasaran.. Aku memang tak minat pil ni sebab kotak dia tak menyakinkan.. Tapi aku pernah makan sekali sebab sakit perut yang amat sangat. Jadi Aku tak da la ralat sangat. Yang musykilkan aku kenapa Kementerian Kesihatan tak pantau dan buat ujian terhadap produk ni. Takan bleh main jual jer kat pasaran hummpphh..

March 25 (Bloomberg) - Hong Kong 's Department of Health has instructed traditional Chinese medicine maker Li Chung Shing Tong (Holdings) to recall Po Chai pills after they were found to contain banned substances in Singapore, the South China Morning Post said.
The pills, popular among sufferers from digestion problems, were found to contain phenolphthalein and sibutramine, substances that can lead to serious side effects, according to a department spokesman, the newspaper said.
"Po Chai"
(see images below) have been banned in Singapore . They are also being recalled in Hong Kong .
Apart from the two dangerous chemicals (phenolphthalein and sibutramine) found by the Singapore Govt., mercury is another component used in the manufacture of the pills !  
Mercury can cause serious brain damage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamata_disease



The following is prevalent in Malaysia and Spore.
At shop malls, do not drink the drink sold from the Chinese golden drums, those little shop with rich-looking urns selling those "anti-heaty" tea and tea & herbal-steamed eggs.

As well, by roadsides everywhere, where the guy asks if you would like to kar liew (add powder)

THAT POTENT ANTI-HEATINESS WORKS, BECAUSE IT'S LACED WITH STEROID POWDER.
 
Pass this message to friends and family.

Consume it often, and your bone marrow will go porous and weak.
My friend's wife, in Pudu, is now with one leg shorter after hip-joint reolacement. She is 40-over years, and drank jln.Pasar's "kar liew" for years  

Pls pass this info to Chinese comunities overseas esp in N. America,Europe, Australia , SE Asia (eg Indonesia ) where Po Chai pills are household over-the-counter all purpose "medicine", used to be in family medicine cabinets.  Well meaning moms, grandmothers give these to kids studying abroad.
