吃進肚內的「非食物」
綠色和平 發現新大陸 2014年6月16日
筆者買包裝食物時，一向會留意食物標籤，每當看到一堆不知名的化學名稱和編號，就會卻步。由於工作長時間對著電腦，本打算買些護眼的保健食品，想不到連這些聲稱會令我們身體健康的產品，有部份亦使用了食物添加劑，某些護眼素添加了E127、E133及E171等色素，去造出藍莓的顏色，翻查資料，發現E133可能會引起敏感反應及過度活躍，而E127更被懷疑是致癌物。

坊間的包裝食品多半會使用添加劑，如為了防止變壞和方便保存，會加入防腐劑、殺菌和抗氧化劑；為了改善外觀，會使用漂白劑、保色劑和色素；為改善味道和口感，會加入調味劑、甜味劑和增稠劑。基於成本考慮，這些添加劑多數是人工合成的化學物，絕少是天然成份，最終我們長期從各種食品中攝取不存在於自然的「非食物」，影響身體健康。
另一種「非食物」是殘留在新鮮食物上的農藥、抗生素和重金屬。農藥一般都是針對不同目的而使用，如殺菌、除草、殺蟲等。雖然我們最常食用的蔬菜只有數十種，但列入規管農藥殘餘量的項目卻多達七千多項。別以為規管得多就代表安全，《食物內除害劑殘餘規例》規管的只是食物內農藥的最高殘餘量，並不代表食物沒有農藥。綠色和平多年來檢驗市面出售的蔬菜、茶葉和中藥都發現殘餘農藥。而過量使用農藥不但會破壞生態，更會污染土壤，令有害物質在食物生產鏈上不斷累積。最終，我們會吃下更多這些「非食物」。
如何才可避免吃下「非食物」？大家不妨花多點時間去了解自己吃的東西，例如買加工食物時，看清楚食物的成份，現在已有手機App可用來查看不同食物添加劑的特性和安全程度。當然，最好還是盡量購買有機產品，尤其是本地有機農場的產品，食得安心之餘，同時能支持本地有機農夫和減少食物運輸過程產生的碳排放，家人與環境同時得益。

The Mystery of Bruce Lee's Death

Bruce Lee's death
http://goo.gl/4bOvZV
At 19:30 hrs that evening Bruce complained of having a headache. Betty gave him one of her own pain killers (Equagesic), that she had been prescribed from her doctor. Bruce went to lie down for a while on her bed.
Most probably was Bruce hyper sensitive to the ingredients Equagesic, Doloxene and Dilantin that are found in the pain killers. He used the medicine Doloxene after he had back injury during his training in 1970.

Later Lee complained of a headache, and Ting gave him an analgesic (painkiller), Equagesic, which contained both aspirin and the muscle relaxant meprobamate. Around 7:30 pm, he went to lie down for a nap. When Lee did not turn up for dinner, Chow came to the apartment but could not wake Lee up. A doctor was summoned, who spent ten minutes attempting to revive him before sending him by ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Lee was dead by the time he reached the hospital.

(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)現在正值是馬來西亞的榴槤季節，此時推出的種類可謂五花八門，除有果王之王美譽的貓山王、還有紅蝦、葫蘆等品種，只是馬來西亞榴槤產量向來較少，在香港動輒要花費近千元一個，想大啖果王的滋味，最佳辦法莫過於親身飛往當地品嘗。
