The Real Facts About Asafoetida, How they are cheating public?

The Asafoetida in your hand is not original asafoetida.  It actually contains gum (gum arabic) and maida. It is written on the packet itself. It contains less than 10% of asafetida. Also the flavor of asafoetida is added in it. How many of you know this?

About Maida

Maida is the last product of wheat. It is a waste that is got after taking all the fiber from wheat. It is whitened using benzoyl peroxide and a chemical named alloxan is used to soften it. Also when maida is whitened using benzoyl peroxide, i.e.; during the bleaching process alloxan is produced. Alloxan is the real star. Alloxan is a chemical that is used to create diabetes in animals to test the medicines for diabetes. That means the one who eats alloxan daily can expect diabetes in future because, alloxan can destroy one’s pancreas. It has the power to kill a human by destroying the beta cells of his pancreas. Not only that, it has the ability to make a human Type-2 diabetic by destroying his ability to produce insulin. Isn’t that enough for asafoetida? Let me include that this maida is banned in China and European Union.
