Ginseng
Did you know that a lot of the ginseng in the United States comes from China? It is one of the biggest exports of the Asian country! Sadly, this does not necessarily mean that it is safe for consumption. When Greenpeace tested the root crops from China, they found traces of chemicals and pesticides in varying amounts! On top of that, it was not simply one chemical. The roots contained various substances that are known to be bad for the human body. It is hard to find ginseng that does not come from China. For this reason, you might want to think about cutting out of your diet altogether instead.
Table Salt
You should never run out of table salt in the pantry! However, you can probably do without it if it means avoiding those that come from China. In reality, the Asian country produces a lot of salt. Sadly, we can’t guarantee that the process used in the production is safe. You see, Chinese salt is often filled with metals and substances that we should never consume. It is also said that this happens because the country is selling industrial salt as table salt. As you can imagine, no one should eat that if they want to stay healthy! Make sure to double-check your favorite brand on your next trip to the grocery store.
