 &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; At the rate of RM 2/- a dozen, death is being sold now-a-days in our  markets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; My request for everybody is to be vigilant.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; Friends, we all love bananas and we eat a lot of them, but the  bananas&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; available in the market are forced ripe by dipping in water mixed with&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; Carbide.  The consumption of these bananas is 100% sure to cause Cancer or&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; some other infection in the stomach.  Therefore, such type of bananas are to&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; be avoided.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; But, how does one recognize the bananas ripened with the help of Carbide?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; Bananas which are ripened naturally are dark yellow and there are&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; small black spots here and there on the bananas and the stalks are black.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; While those which are forced ripe with Carbide are lemon yellow and their&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; stalks are green and morover they are clear yellow without any black  spots.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; You can compare the pictures attached, which will make things more clear. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; Now, what is Carbide and how is it harmful?  Carbide is a chemical&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; which if mixed with water, emits heat and the heat emitted by a Close tank&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; mixed with Carbide is even more than that emitted by a LPG Cylinder, so much&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; so it can be used for Gas Cutting (which means the calorific value is so&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; high that it can replace LPG gas).  In the same way, when the bunch of&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; bananas are dipped in the water mixed with Carbide, the gas gets absorbed&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; into the bananas and they get ripe.  However, the banana vendors are not&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; that literate and so they do not know the exact proportion of Carbide to be&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; used for a dozen of bananas.  As a result they end up using excess quantity&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; of Carbide which gets absorbed into the bananas and ultimately enters our&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; stomach.  Due to this excess use of Carbide, Tumours can be formed in our&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; digestive system.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; &lt;b&gt;So, next time you purchase bananas, make sure you select the naturally ripened ones.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;b&gt; or buy raw ones and let them ripen at your home itself.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt; Please pass it on to others for whom you care.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;font class="Apple-style-span" face="&amp;#39;trebuchet ms&amp;#39;, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
