i got this thru e-mail... jus sharing it. whether u believe it or not, it's ur say. i hve a question thou. who is this particular professor chew?? but i do agree on the environmental friendly part...

This is a real case, if you happen to have a chance, you can try
soaking disposable chopsticks (usually they gave you when you TA PAO
something) for 3 to 5 minutes in hot water, and you will see bleach detergent
dissolved in the hot water from the chopsticks.

If you can prepare your own chopsticks at your office, it's not only
environmental friendly and it's for your own good.

In a campaign promoting healthy care in An Ning, professor Chew
reminded people not to use disposable chopsticks, as almost majority of them
are made in and imported from China. Before the production, the raw
materials itself already grown with germs that are in multiply colors (fungus),
and the first process was to put in chemical to preserve the materials.

After that they are washed with bleach (which are thousands times over the
standards). And guess what? These chemicals could cause cancer,
Carcinogen. Professor Chew didn't use any disposable chopsticks
anymore since she last visited a disposable chopsticks manufacturing plant 5
years ago. In case she forgotten to bring her own chopsticks, she always
put one in her bag, since it can be reuse again and again.

Professor chew said : if you were using disposable chopsticks in the
past,and you insisted on using them for the rest of your life. Don't come
and ask me why you have cancer.
