68.4% Milk In India Is Adulterated, Finds Survey!

1. Are you getting your nutrition with a glass  full of milk ? Think again, you might be ruining you body with detergents!

2.Adulteration in milk has been a great cause of wrong for the everyday consumer and the daily industry. Spiked with ingredients like detergent, urea, starch, paint and the most common one being water, adulterated milk has hazardous side effects. While the immediate effect of drinking milk adulterated with urea, caustic soda and formalin is gastroenteritis, the long-term effects are far more serious.

3.According to a report by the Animal Welfare Board, about 68% of the milk production in the country, along with the milk byproduct were found to be laced with polluting ingredients. 

4.Samples which failed the test, nearly 46 per cent, belonged to the category of low Solid Not Fat (SNF), and this was due to dilution of milk with water. Skimmed milk powder, generally used to increase the volume of milk in the lean season, was present in nearly 548 samples; of these 477 samples contained glucose.

5.Why are adulterants added to milk . It is very hard to find a difference between pure, untouched milk and one that has been spiked. Add to that, there is little to no awareness among consumers. Adulterants like salt, detergents and glucose add to the thickness and viscosity of the milk, while starch prevents curdling of milk. These infiltrators impair the functioning of various organs of the body, causing heart problems, cancer, and in extreme cases, death.

6.According to a recent advisory issued by the World Health Organisation, if adulteration isn't put to a stop, India's population would be suffering from serious and fatal diseases like cancer by the end of 2025.

Things You Didn't Know About ... Aliens 1  Astronomers Margaret Turnbull and Jill Tarter of the  Carnegie Institution in Washington , D.C., have compiled a list of 17,129 nearby stars most likely to have planets that could support complex life. 2  According to Turnbull, stars must be at least 3 billion years old (to allow life time to evolve), have low mass, and have high levels of iron; metals are needed to form rocky, Earth like planets. 3  Leading the list is Epsilon Indi A, a dim orange star just 11.8 light-years away, in our local corner of the Milky Way. 4  What's the frequency, Frank? Astronomer Frank Drake made the first scientific attempt to contact alien beings in 1960, when he used an 85-foot radio dish at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia to listen for signals from two nearby sun like stars. 5  You haven't heard about it because his search turned up zilch. 6  The more sophisticated efforts of the SE
