Shrimp & Vitamin C

The e-Rumor
Arsenic Trioxided (Died because Vitamin C and Shrimps)

This is the story that happened in Taiwan (I forgot about the time, because I received this messege from my friend with e-mail, and my friend didn’t tell the time). And if you love your family and your friends, just tell to them about this story. This is the important messege for everyone who read this writes.

There was a woman who suddenly died with her six sense dispenses many blood (eye, ear, mouth, nose, skin and tongue). After investigated, she not die because of suicide or being murdered. But she died because of food poison, she also didn’t know she would be died of poison. She has a habit of drank Vitamin C everyday. It must be didn’t any problem, but why did she die?

Before she died, she ate a lot of shrimps, but it must be didn’t any problem, just lobster. Her family also ate Shrimps too, but noone died. And the problem was, after she ate the lobster she drank Vitamin C. And suddenly she died.

Basically, Shrimp contains an Arsenic Pentoxide (As2O5) and when she ate shrimps, she drank Vitamin C at the same time. And something happened, in her stomach got a chemical reaction and make Arsenic Pentoxide (As2O5) became Arsenic Trioxide (As2O3) which was very poisonous, and her Heart, Liver, Kidney and Blood Vessel became defective. Her Guts removed blood, Blood Vessel was dilate until she died very dire with her six sense removed blood.

So, becareful if you eat shrimps wait until a few hours to drink Vitamin C. Don’t drink it at the same time.

That hoax is literally dangerous and has probably killed some people already.
Here is why I say that, some people will read that and immediately stop taking vitamin C. For many who stop it won’t affect their health very much.
But for some people who were not so healthy that hoax will shorten their life by possibly years and some will die quickly.

Here is why, human being do not produce vitamin C as most animals do and we can die if we do not get enough of it.
We take vitamin C for granted but our body uses it to create collagen which is the cement that holds our body together. If you just look at the disease scurvy the extreme loss of vitamin C or death from a flu virus; what happens to the victim is physical meltdown (the liquefaction of their internal organs).
So for that person whose diet is marginal and whose health is poor dropping vitamin C will kill them fairly quickly via virus or body system failure like a heart attack. Whoever put that hoax together either has a black heart or they could not see the implications of what they were doing through their ignorance.

Shisha ‘as harmful as cigarettes’
Shisha 400 Kali Lebih Bahaya Dari Rokok

Pernahkah Anda menghisap shisha? Kegiatan menghirup bau-bauan yang menyenangkan itu ternyata tidak semenyenangkan faktanya. Para peneliti menyebutkan bahwa shisha ternyata sangat berbahaya, bahkan lebih berbahaya daripada rokok.

Smoking a shisha pipe is as bad for people as smoking tobacco, the Department of Health and the Tobacco Control Collaborating Centre has found.

Shisha adalah kegiatan menghirup aroma buah-buahan dan tembakau yang dibakar, lalu uapnya dialirkan melalui pipa atau bejana dan dihirup oleh hidung melalui selang.

Kegiatan yang berasal dari negeri-negeri di jazirah Arab itu sudah lama dikenal dan banyak dilakukan orang karena bisa menenangkan sekaligus menyenangkan.

Selama ini shisha dianggap aman-aman saja dan tidak menimbulkan efek berbahaya. Namun para peneliti dari Department of Health and the Centre for Tobacco Control menyebutkan bahwa sisha sama berbahayanya dengan merokok karena dapat meningkatkan level karbonmonoksida dalam tubuh.

Bahkan, dalam satu sesi kegiatan shisha ditemukan empat hingga lima kali level karbonmonoksida yang lebih banyak dibanding pada rokok yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan otak dan tidak sadar.

Ketika Dr Hilary Wareing menemukan fakta itu, ia terkejut dan mengatakan bahwa Shisha sama berbahayanya, bahkan lebih berbahaya dibanding rokok. “Pada tingkat yang sangat parah, shisha bisa lebih berbahaya 400 hingga 450 kali daripada rokok, sangat berbahaya!” ujar Hilary.

At the worst, shisha was 400 to 450 times more dangerous than having a cigarette

Selama ini orang-orang yang tidak merokok menyalurkan hasrat merokok mereka lewat Shisa. Aktivitas yang diusung oleh kalangan Timur Tengah itu saat ini sudah menjadi tren di beberapa kafe atau pesta.

Banyak orang yang pergi ke tempat shisha merasa aman dan menganggap shisha sebagai alternatif merokok. Hal inilah yang justru menjadi salah konsepsi masyarakat.

“Kami menemukan satu sesi dari kegiatan shisha selama 30 menit mengandung 10 miligram karbon monoksida yang lebih tinggi dibanding rokok,” jelas Hillary.

Dengan adanya penemuan ini, para peneliti berharap agar para pengguna shisha berpikir dua kali untuk terus melakukan kegiatan itu.

“Semua orang tahu bahwa rokok bisa mematikan, tapi tidak semua orang tahu shisha sama mematikannya dengan rokok,” ujar Hilary seperti dilansir BBC, Senin (24/8/2009).

People who smoke shisha, or herbal tobacco, can suffer from high carbon monoxide levels, its research revealed.

It found one session of smoking shisha resulted in carbon monoxide levels at least four to five times higher than the amount produced by one cigarette.
