Are the nutrients found in rice dangerous for you?

Recently, Anchor Girjesh Vashisht of Knocking News (YouTube News Channel) has made a shocking disclosure about fortified rice. In the disclosure, the government hastily and for the benefit of some special people and to pat themselves on the back, put the fortified rice in the market. Now, in the analysis of the loss and benefits of these rice in the public, only losses are visible.


Fortified rice means rice kini (very small pieces of rice) which are generally used by poor people or as animal feed. Grinding the same kini, adding chemical nutrients or medicines to it, they are re-shaped into the shape of whole rice by machines and mixed with normal rice and used. But right now, in many rural areas, rice made from which is being sold does not contain any kind of nutritious substance. Which most people also call plastic rice.
Girjesh Vashisht has directly raised questions about the intention and haste of the planning of the Modi government. In which, citing the report of the government’s own commission like Niti Aayog, it has been told that how the government, ignoring the advice of its own departments, 80 crore Indians who got the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana and the rest of the middle class and the class who bought rice and ate it. Fortified rice and machine-made rice is being sold mixed with their rice.
The purpose for which fortified rice was made. to show up. Malnutrition will reduce with fortified rice. Now government figures are telling that wherever fortified rice was being eaten, there is even more malnutrition.
According to the report of Reporter Collective (Reporter Collective is an international independent reporter’s organization), the report of the pilot project being run by the government for fortified rice also clearly stated that no positive results came out from fortified rice in any form. Is. Although their side effects were not investigated under government pressure. After the lab test of any new type of food and drink material, it is necessary to study the effects on a small group of people using that particular material. And happened too. But in the haste of the government or in the stubbornness to give special benefit to a particular person, the government turned away from these studies.


Girjesh Vasistha gave an example and told that the way iron tablets are distributed to girls in government schools, many of them suffer stomach pain and health problems. This news has been published in many newspapers. But now when the same iron element is reaching such children through rice which is already sensitive to it. Now they will not be able to know what is the reason for their deteriorating health. Research in many countries has revealed that fortifying food is not right. This especially affects the health of children.
Fortified rice and other fortified food products have always been suspect. Usually they are brought to meet the deficiency of the nutrient. Mostly diseases of deficiency or excess of the same element are seen in the life of common people. It is not about Modi government, it is about all the governments till now. Earlier, iodine was added to the salt. When a foreign study found that people of Indian origin have iodine deficiency and due to this swelling of the throat and retardation in children increases. Today, every salt in the country is iodine-rich, so have retarded children stopped being born? Have the patients related to thyroid reduced now? Iodine gets destroyed in high temperatures. We Indians do not have the habit of adding salt after cooking. Many foreign corporations somehow manage to make the government understand that this is right for the citizens of your country or it is not right at all. There are many such examples. For example, Vitamin D3 deficiency can happen to some but not all. There are different results depending on the state, region, yet in India since Corona, Vitamin D3 is written on every slip of the patient.
  Administration and power are in the hands of the government. But will the government decide who has to eat what? and what not?
