主題: 不要買"龍利"魚柳了 (Don't buy frozen fish BASA)
Don't buy this fish: BASA. This is a scary stuff.
冷凍龍利，在超市、凍肉舖、加國大統華有賣的。
竟然就是這種魚欸！BASA, Pangasius, produce of Vietnam.....
沒錯，。。。
還有好多餐廳的炒班塊，炒魚片，炸魚排，魚片粥，都是用這種的欸！！！ 請大家留意，
This fish is being sold in Canada. We saw it recently on the buffet at the Fallsview Casino!
Many are snatching up the fish at supermarkets as they are very cheap.
The fish looks good but read the article and you will be shocked.
This product is from Vietnam.
Do you eat this frozen fish called BASA? ( Pangasius, Vietnamese River Cobbler, White Catfish, Gray Sole )

Industrially farmed in Vietnam along the Mekong River, BASA or Pangas or whatever they're calling it, has
only been recently introduced to the French market. However, in a very short amount of time, it has grown
in popularity in France. They are very, very affordable (cheap), are sold in filets with no bones and they
have a neutral flavor and texture; many would compare it to cod and sole, only much cheaper. But as tasty
as some people may find it, there's, in fact, something hugely unsavory about it. I hope the information
provided here will serve as very important information for you and your future choices. Here's why it is
better left in the shops and not on your dinner plates:
(Embedded image moved to file: pic29510.jpg)
1. BASAS or Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria. (industrial effluents, arsenic,
and toxic and hazardous by-products of the growing industrial sector, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), metal contaminants, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs),
hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) ).
The reason is that the Mekong River is one of the most polluted rivers on the planet and this is where
basa/pangas are farmed and industries along the river dump chemicals and industrial waste directly into
it. Avoid eating them because they contain high amounts of contamination. Regardless of Reports and
recommendations against selling them, supermarkets still sell them, knowing full well that they are
contaminated.
2. They freeze Basa/Pangas in contaminated river water.

3. BASA/Pangas are raised in Vietnam .. Pangas are fed food that comes from Peru ( more on that below ),
their hormones ( which are injected into the female Pangas ) come from China . ( More about that below )
and finally, they are transported from Vietnam to other countries
4. There's nothing natural about Basa/Pangas - They're fed dead fish remnants and bones, dried and ground
into a flour (from South America), manioc ( cassava ) and residue from soy and grains. This kind of
nourishment doesn't even remotely resemble what they eat in nature. But what it does resemble is the
method of feeding mad cows ( cows were fed cows, remember? ). What they feed basa/pangas is completely
unregulated so there are most likely other dangerous substances and hormones thrown into the mix. The
basa/pangas grow 4 times faster than in nature, so it makes you wonder what exactly is in their food? Your
guess is as good as mine.

5. Basa/Pangas are injected with Hormones Derived from Urine. They inject female Basa/Pangas with hormones
made from the dehydrated urine of pregnant women, the female Pangas grow much quicker and produce eggs
faster ( one Basa/Panga can lay approximately 500,000 eggs at one time ). Essentially, they're injecting
fish with hormones ( they come all of the way from a pharmaceutical company in China ) to speed up the
process of growth and reproduction. That isn't good. And also consider the rest of the reasons to NOT eat
BASA.
6. You get what you pay for - and then some. Don't be lured in by insanely cheap price of Basa/Pangas. Is
it worth risking your health and the health of your family?
7. Buying Basa/Pangas supports unscrupulous, greedy corporations and food conglomerates that don't care
about the health and well-being of human beings. They are only concerned about selling as many basa/pangas
as possible to unsuspecting consumers. These corporations only care about making more money at whatever
cost to the public..
8. Basa/Pangas WILL make you sick - If you don't get ill with vomiting, diarrhea and effects from severe
food poisoning, congratulations, you have an iron stomach! But you're still ingesting POISON not
"poisson".
Final important note: Because of the prodigious amount of availability of Basa/Pangas, be warned that they
will certainly find their way into other foods like imitation crab sticks, fish sticks, fish terrines, and
probably in some pet food too. Just check the Ingredient List to see if Basa is one of the ingredients.
Good Luck.
You have been warned !!!
