The false propaganda about what Snow Bird's Nest is originated from a soft copy forgery between a businessman and a newspaper in 2003, which fabricated Snow Bird's Nest as the pistil juice of the snow lotus flower. This claim is too much to be scrutinized. Firstly, as a traditional medicine, Chinese people have been consuming snow lotus for more than 1,000 years, so why is it that snow bird's nest has only been around for 15 years? Secondly, people who have eaten Snow Bird's Nest know that Snow Bird's Nest has bark and other impurities, Snow Lotus is a kind of grass, how can there be bark? Thirdly, there are many pictures of snowdrops all over the net, why is there not a picture of snowdrops secreting snow swiftlet?
The false propaganda of snow swallow is because the sellers do not know the source, fabricated falsehoods. Unlawful merchants also make up nonsense about ingredients and efficacy, disregarding food safety and seriously jeopardizing consumers' health.
In fact, many consumers have found that the Snow Bird's Nest is not secreted by the snow lotus flower, but the real source of it is completely unknown, and even considered to be synthetic and chemically manufactured, and then give up eating Snow Bird's Nest.
