染色黃花魚(yú)危害健康

Since customers assume if the Croakers are yellow they should be fresh, some vendors dye the fish with a yellow powder after they buy them from wholesalers to boost sales.

《半島晨報(bào)》報(bào)道，市場(chǎng)上出售的黃花魚(yú)、刀魚(yú)大部分都經(jīng)過(guò)染色，而染色用的粉末損害人體健康。

由于人們通常認(rèn)為發(fā)黃的黃花魚(yú)新鮮，一些小販從批發(fā)市場(chǎng)進(jìn)了黃花魚(yú)后，通常都用黃粉將魚(yú)洗一下再出售以增加銷(xiāo)量。而這種黃粉被長(zhǎng)期食用會(huì)對(duì)大腦產(chǎn)生影響，尤其是孕婦及嬰幼兒等敏感人群。

而通常用來(lái)刷刀魚(yú)的銀粉就是平時(shí)刷暖氣用的粉末，含有大量的鉛，對(duì)人體的肝臟、腎臟等功能造成巨大傷害，對(duì)人的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)也有損傷。

Dyed Yellow Croakers and Sauries on sale

A majority of the Yellow Croakers and Sauries sold in the Chinese market have been dyed with a powder that is harmful to humans, the Peninsula Morning Post reports.

Since customers assume if the Croakers are yellow they should be fresh, some vendors dye the fish with a yellow powder after they buy them from wholesalers to boost sales. However, the powder can damage the brain if eaten often, especially in pregnant women and babies.

The silver powder used to dye Sauries is the same powder commonly used to paint radiators and contains large amounts of lead which can cause liver, kidney and nervous system damage.
