Cotton Ear Buds... (Must read it) Please do not show sympathy to people selling buds on roadside or at Signals... ...

This is not true. AIIMS must not have released such news. This hoax message has been on quite some blogs. Kurkure does not contain plastic, when it contains edible ingredients including rice meal, corn meal, gram meal, salt, spirces, condiments, etc that we use in our daily kitchen.
ReplyDeleteKurkure burns because of the presence of corn starch and not because of any plastic.

Hi Jenita,
ReplyDeleteOK! then what about other points mentioned above?
I am asking this just to know what is fact and what is not..
Hi Chaitanya,
ReplyDeleteI am not aware about the other things. But as far as Kurkure is concerned. I checked on it as it is my favourite snack and informed you about the same.
The points mentioned by you are a part of a chain mail. It has been all around, I don't think they are true.
Check this out. http://www.kenneyjacob.com/2009/02/07/mythbusting-fwd-mails/
A complete list of hoaxbusters mentioned by you here.
Hi Jenita,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your time in responding to my comment, I do agree with you that this might be a chain email message and people instead of spending time on doing a little bit of research - they forward these kind of mails to their contacts (in address book). But let me tell u my thoughts on the above email points:
1) "Appy Fizz is just plain apple juice which is carbonated" - I do not want my friends to consume Carbonated Drinks - I would suggest them to have fresh fruit juices instead...
2) There is no fun in eating Mentos before or after drinking Coke or Pepsi - as I told u, I personally do not like these carbonated drinks..."I don’t want to take a chance – better avoid"
3) Kurkure - about this I can’t comment - coz it is your favorite snack… But for us in India/Hyderabad we get lot many healthy food items (snacks) for its cost. I suggest my friends to have fruits and vegetable snacks rather packed foods.
4) Generally I avoid taking tablets, especially when I need to take them without Doctor's prescription. The above mentioned tablets are all fall under same category - "There are high possibilities of side effects from such tablets and there is no harm in avoiding such risks" – where is the need for a healthy person to take tablets – be healthy eat healthy food???
5) There is a high possibility of these Cotton Ear Buds (that you get on the street) are filled with dust particles and other bacteria. Traffic here at India (Metro Cities) is too high and is creating lot of air pollution. So it is better to purchase cotton ear buds at Pharmacies (who maintain such packs properly and carefully).
6) Long Time back, there were people who lived for more than 80 years (of their life) healthily.. Do you know the reason why? There were no such technological advancements (mobile phones and television sets)...It is always better not to use mobile phones when it is not required (my intension is when no one is on the line - speaking with you, where is the question of keeping the phone near your ears)? Useless! Isn’t it?
I agree forwarding such stupid email chains is useless act! Even I oppose such acts (in fact several times I responded very harshly to my friends for such forwarded emails) but I do respect few emails with lot of information - which may directly or indirectly help our friends...
