Many parts of China are actually known for their fine cuisine, but its food industry has taken a lot of heat lately for its troubling lack of standards (and for good reason). People everywhere are avoiding food imports from China, and it’s easy to understand why.

Eating these eggs may cause memory loss and dementia.
