     The widespread number of food scandals (丑闻) in China is making many people pause before they put
their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious
or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?
     Most of the food we eat today is processed food ( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and
supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are added to the foods in these
factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be
harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some
producers do not obey the laws.
     A producer of steamed buns (馒头) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law.
He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using
them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students... like you.

     Do you know that it is your own immune system working against the virus that makes you uncomfortable
when getting a cold, but not the virus itself? So when you have got a strong immune system and the virus is
strong enough too, you will possibly get terrible cold symptoms (症状)?
     Vitamin C won"t stop a cold
     It is claimed that Vitamin C helps by increasing white blood cells. However, many tests have shown that
it does not prevent colds. At best, it only slightly reduces the rime of symptoms.
     Staying indoors won"t protect you
     One of the most likely sources of cold viruses is your computer mouse or desk. A study of the cold virus
in offices found that 47% of desktops, 46% of computer mice and 45% of telephones had cold viruses on
them.
     Wrapping up warm won"t protect you
     Colds are more common in autumn and winter. That"s because the cool, wet and cold weather drives
people indoors, where viruses may more easily jump from one person to another. And the distinct peak in
colds (感冒高峰) is in September and early January, which is likely due to the return of students to schools
and colleges after the summer and winter vacation.
