Kurkure contains plastic and if you do not believe it then burn it and see for yourself.



Many time I have received in my email id and whats up a message from my relatives, friends and my benevolent that Kurkure contains plastic and if you do not believe it then burn it and see for yourself. These messages end by asking them to forward to all your loved ones. But consumers should know whether the particular message is true or it is a fake one before forwarding them. So I decided to do a little research about the various messages. Because each coin has pros and cons hence I start analysis as I also like to eat Kurkure. First I asked from my familiar Doctors (Homeopathy, Allopathy as well as Aurvedik)

Doctors states that Kurkure is prepared from normal consumable products such as rice, wheat, maize and grain. Till date, there is no proof of any such laboratory tests or scientific studies done to support this claim, the message came from nowhere. Rice and some other grains contain starch (Like rice bran oil is prepared from rice) that some grains contains oil in form of starch. When we use starch on cotton clothes we can find the shiny thing when starch dries. If you use starch on cotton clothes then you must differentiate it. When we burn kurkure, the plastic thing we see is nothing but starch as kurkure is made with normal consumer products such as rice, wheat, maize and grain etc.

I had fully satisfied with Doctors answer as I have used starch on cotton clothes to make them hard after wash, but my research is not stop here. I start searching on internet and found that many of the web site have analyze and explain about this issue. I have checked many website and all website states that Kurkure is safe for health. Even the Kurkure site has clarified that there is no
plastic in kurkure.

I have also discuss this message with my friends and comes to know that generally competitors companies are bringing and publishing this types of messages to create panic among the people, and people change their test.

This message has gone viral a lot and forced Pepsico Company to send their people to search internet and find such links. Plastic is not edible and you can not fry kurkure , it is a fried item. The ingredients include rice meal, corn meal, gram meal, salt, spices, seasonings, etc. and the chances that your kitchen has these in much greater quantity than the packet of Kurkure is pretty huge.
Kurkure does melt when you burn it, but again most of the salty snacks do the same. It burns because it contains carbohydrates. The plastic like substance that you see in kurkure is nothing but starch. The shiny plastic like look of kurkure is that of dried starch, which is not dangerous for health. It is the same thing that you can see over starched cotton shirts, or on rice cookers after the water dries on the side of the vessel.
Apparently Kurkure also released a caution notice against such activities and they can use legal actions if you are found guilty. Please see the below link

Therefore, these messages claiming "Kurkure contains plastic and if you do not believe it then burn it and see for yourself" is a kind of Joke. This is a fake message.

Finally all these viral messages end by asking them to forward to all your loved ones. Hence, I also humbly request to you, please forward this post to all your loved ones so that they remove their panicness.

Do not buy the cotton ear buds that are sold in the traffic signals because they use the cottons which was used in general hospital.


The ear buds that we buy from road side are recycled or bleached ones .They are cotton used in hospital and using this may cause Herpes Zoster Oticus. Once you hear the name you will become deaf because you may be using the low cost ear buds .

The disease is caused by a virus called varicella-zoster that causes chicken-pox. Our immune system has the ability to eliminate the virus. The disease is not considered an epidemic and no medical journal has established that it caused by the use of ear buds. It has been clearly stated that it cannot be transmitted to another person.

On the other side, if we want to reused cotton, then its cost is to be too high due to bleach and clean them. Raw cottons are much cheaper. So there is no need for reused cotton. It may be possible that cottons used to prepare buds are of low quality but but we cannot say that it is used cottons.
Hence this viral message is fake not believable.

Using left ear when talking on your mobile phone is much safer. When you use your right ear it will directly affect your brain. It has been proved by Apollo medical team

Using left ear when talking on your mobile phone is much safer. When you use your right ear it will directly affect your brain. It has been proved by Apollo medical team.

Well it was proved wrong a very long time. There was no evidence that left ear would receive less signal than the right and this statement has been proved wrong a very long time. As because there is  a connection between the phones antenna and the signal on continuous basis. It has nothing to with which ear you use.
Consumers do not believe everything you read. All information should be confirmed before you use it. Sender of this message is advice to take advise or consult with ENT Doctors.

Do not forward such rumor or fake messages thinking you are saving your loved ones. You are just creating panic among people.


Now requesting you please forward this message to not only your loved one but to all of whom you know.

Do not drink Appy Fizz. It contains Cancer causing agent.



Many time I have received in my email id and whats up a message from my relatives, friends and my benevolent that Do not drink Appy Fizz. It contains Cancer causing agent. But no one explain why, when, how much quantity or otherwise. Because each coin has pros and cons hence I start analysis as I also like more and more Appy Fizz. First I asked from my familiar Doctors (Homeopathy, Allopathy as well as Aurvedik)

Doctors states that Appy Fizz is fruit juice prepared from Apple and it is safe. Till date, there is no proof of any such laboratory tests or scientific studies done to support this claim, the message came from nowhere. However in following exceptional situation not only appy fizz but any fruit juices are dangerous for health-
1. If useful life of juice has been expired.
2. Juice prepared by using unusable fruits.
3. Adulterated Appy Fizz purchased from market.
4. Daily limited crossed that is daily taking more than 500 ML.
5. If taking in a empty stomach
6. Appy Fizz is a sugary beverage with 1.9% Apple juice concentration. This is only demerit in APPY juice can for many and especially for diabetics patient is that it contains very high amount of Sugar. It contains around 212 gm of Sugar in just 160 ML of the beverage. As you are not a diabetics patient please go ahead and drink  if you are thirsty.


I had fully satisfied with Doctors answer but not stop my work here and start searching on internet and found that many of the web site analyze and explain about this issue. I have checked many website and all website states that Appy fizz is safe for health.

I have also discuss this message with my friends and comes to know that generally competitors companies are bringing and publishing this types of messages to create panic among the people, and people change their test and searching herbal (Ayurvedic) etc.

 Appy Fizz is an apple juice which is carbonated along with water, and it contains some preservatives and coloring agents, which most fruit drink products have. Below is the list of Appy Fizz ingredients these all approved:
  • Water
  • Reconstituted Apple Juice
  • CO2
  • Sugar
  • Malic Acid
  • Citric Acid
  • Permitted (Class II) Preservatives (E211, E224)
  • Ascorbic Acid
Above ingredients are common and generally used in most of the fruit juice and these are not harmful to health if use in limit.

Therefore, these messages claiming Appy Fizz contains cancer causing agent is a kind of Joke. This is a fake message and it is not required to trust on this types of fake message.

Finally all these viral messages end by asking them to forward to all your loved ones. Hence, I also humbly request to you, please forward this post to all your loved ones.
