Chemicals in grapes!

The Dhaka Times Desk This time there was news of giving chemicals to grapes. Most of the grapes are imported from different countries including India. Some unscrupulous traders of our country are doing this crime after bringing those grapes!

The fruit that we go to visit sick people, almost everyone takes more for it and that is grapes. Relatives or friends of the patient think that the fruit is delicious and will be good for the patient. But do they know exactly how much chemicals are added to these grapes? Basically, as soon as the grapes come to the country after being imported, traders spray different types of chemicals.

Fruit Importers Association (Fruit Traders Association) President Haji Md. Salim told the media that grapes and other imported fruits from abroad contain a small amount of chemicals. It is science and healthy. Grapes are imported from some countries including India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia. After the fruit arrives in this country, it is kept for a long time and is sprayed with formalin and chemical compound solution to prevent rotting. A class of arat owners and importers do this.

It is known that there is no store in the country suitable for keeping fruits for a long time. So the traders import the fruit and mix it with different chemicals and formalin and spray the solution and keep it in the warehouse. Even if the fruit is kept for months, it does not rot and the fruit remains fresh.

Quoting fruit traders, a daily said, many people do not have a scientific understanding of adding chemicals to domestically produced fruits. In that case, agronomists can make fruit growers aware of the use of chemicals, said Haji Salim. Mobile Cote has conducted frequent raids and found evidence of high levels of formalin and chemicals in grapes, among other fruits. Even though hundreds of businesses involved in the destruction of grapes containing large amounts of chemicals and jail fines have already been imposed, they have not budged.

Children, gynaecologists, cancer, kidney, liver and nerve disease experts said that eating poisonous grape fruit is more likely to cause cancer, kidney and liver diseases. Director of Dhaka Children's Hospital in Sherebangla City Professor Dr. Dr. Manjur Hossain and director of Mohakhali Cancer Institute. Gholam Mostafa said that a little chemical in any fruit, including grapes, is enough to damage the human body. Any chemical including formalin is a serious threat to health.

So the fruit that we take as food for patients in Nirbhava is actually inedible! If this condition continues, there is no doubt that the patient will get sicker, far from getting better. In this regard, everyone should come forward, including the law enforcement agencies of the country. Experts feel that it is now necessary to enforce strict laws along with increasing public awareness.
