Time to start checking food labels to see if it comes from China.

“Diethelyne gylcol is a central nervous system depressant. It’s a toxin that can be bad for liver or kidneys,” Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan.

Diethylene glycol, a poisonous ingredient in some antifreeze, has been found in 6,000 tubes of toothpaste in Panama, and customs officials there said that the product appeared to have originated in China. Read here.

DEG is described by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to contain a “low but meaningful risk of toxicity and injury,” although the ingredient can be especially harmful to those with kidney or liver disease. FDA is strongly warning consumers to avoid using any toothpaste labeled as made in China because they have found levels as high as 3-4% of a poisonous chemical, diethylene glycol (DEG), in Chinese toothpaste.

FDA has identified the following brands of toothpaste from China that contain DEG:

The note is believed to have been written in either 1995 or 1996 but did not come to light until excerpts were published in a British tabloid in 2003.

“My husband is planning an accident on my car, brake failure and serious head injury in order to make the path clear for him to marry (former royal nanny) Tiggy (Legge-Bourke),” - Lady Diana.

The extent of her worries were revealed in two notes presented to the inquest, one written by her lawyer Lord Mishcon and the other by the princess to her butler Paul Burrell.

Her laywer said Princess Diana had long-held fears about secret plots by the royal family to kill her in a car crash, the inquest into her death has heard.

The coroner heading the inquest, Lord Justice Scott Baker told the jury of six women and five men that Diana’s fears for her life stretched back about two years before her fatal 1997 car crash in Paris.

A huge crowd of photographers gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice for the arrival of Fayed’s father, Harrods department store owner Mohamed Al Fayed, who alleges that secret services and Prince Philip engineered the fatal crash. “I have been fighting for 10 years, at last I want to have justice,” said Al Fayed.

Coroner Scott Baker told the jury its duty is to answer four questions: who died, when and where they died, and most controversially, how they died.

He said the couple began their romance on July 14, 1997, when Dodi Fayed arrived in St. Tropez, where Diana was vacationing as a guest of his father.

“A famous photo of Diana in a leopard-print bathing suit - often cited as evidence that she was pregnant, because her stomach appears rounded - was taken before Dodi arrived, so she could not have been pregnant by him” - Baker.

Diana died in the early morning of August 31 1997, after the Mercedes she was travelling in crashed at high speed in the Pont D’Alma underpass in Paris.

The food on this street is mostly “conventional” Chinese and great for lunch or dinner.

Anyone got fancy recipes for this?

About 300 monks and activists were arrested across Yangon after braving government orders to stay home, according to an exile dissident group, and reporters saw a number of monks, who are highly revered in Myanmar, being dragged into trucks. Source.

Now, the government is trying to make a diversion. They give 10,000 kyats (around $7) & a set of Thin Gan(yellow robe) to “Swan Arr Shin”(like USDA which the form as a group that to crash down violently to protester) team and make them to pretend as Monks. Then, command to destroy the Islamic Mosque. This intends to become a fight between Buddhisms & Islams. So, if u hear or see the news that the monks are destroying the Mosque, these are not real monks. They are just fakes. As u all know, the real monks have no intention like that. So, give this information to Islams who u know and tell them - ko htike.

Anyone can answer any of these questions, please leave a comment:

1. Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?
2. Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him?
3. Why do doctors, when they ask you to strip, leave the room or close the cubicle curtain while you change? ………… they’re still going to see you naked anyway.
4. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
5. Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough?
