News India Live, Digital Desk: Can you believe that the milk that you and your children are drinking to improve their health can be ‘white poison’ that spoils their health? Recently, the Food Safety Department of Uttar Pradesh has taken a major action and seized 5300 liters of synthetic i.e. fake milk, which has once again drawn everyone’s attention towards the dangerous adulteration in milk.
This fake milk is made from dangerous chemicals like urea, detergent, refined oil and caustic soda, which are extremely harmful for our body. It looks exactly like real milk, so it is very difficult to identify it.
But now the question is whether the milk coming to our house is real or fake? How to know this? Don’t panic! Today we are telling you some easy home methods by which you can check the purity of milk in minutes.
How to identify real and fake milk at home
- Try rubbing it on your hands: Take a few drops of milk on your palm and rub it with the other palm. If your hands feel greasy like soap and foam starts forming, then understand that the milk is fake. No special smoothness is felt when real milk is rubbed.
- Recognize by smell: When synthetic milk is smelled, it smells strange like soap or chemical. Whereas real milk does not have any such artificial smell.
- Try heating: This is one of the easiest methods. Put milk in a vessel and boil it. If the color of milk turns light yellow when boiled, it is a sign of it being synthetic. Real milk remains white in color even after boiling.
- Identify by taste: If you take a sip of milk and it tastes bitter or strange, then it may be adulterated.
By adopting these small and easy methods, you can save your family from this ‘white poison’. Next time whenever you buy milk, definitely check it using these methods, because nothing is more important than health.
