The gutter oil looks like normal oil, and it is also in a liquid state, with the same color and yellow, but from different sources. The source of waste oil is the garbage flowing quietly in urban sewers. Amoy processed it and turned it into "cooking oil" on the table.

Every day, they fished out a large amount of dim, turbid and slightly red paste from there. After only one night of filtration, heating, precipitation and separation, these stinking garbage could be turned into clear "edible oil" and finally returned to people's tables through low-price sales.

This kind of three-no-products, called "waste oil", is still mainly composed of triglycerides, but there are many more toxic substances that cause disease and cancer than real edible oil.

Hazards of gutter oil:

1. Indigestion

In the process of cooking gutter oil, a series of chemical changes, such as rancidity, oxidation and decomposition, occur after pollution of animal and vegetable oils, resulting in substances that are highly toxic to human body; Arsenic is one of them. Once people use the "waste oil" with a huge amount of arsenic, it will cause symptoms such as indigestion, headache, dizziness, insomnia, fatigue and discomfort in the liver area.

2. Diarrhea

3. Abdominal pain

Waste oil is mixed with a lot of sewage, garbage and detergent. After being extracted in the open air in underground workshops, bacteria and harmful chemical components cannot be removed at all. It is an indisputable fact that all "gutter oil" will contain lead seriously exceeding the standard, and eating food made of "gutter oil" with excessive lead content will cause severe abdominal cramps, anemia, toxic liver disease and other symptoms.
