Formalin in Fruits: Silent Killer Destroying Organs, Boosting Cancer Risk

• Formalin, a toxic chemical, is used to preserve fruits, fish, and vegetables, making them appear fresh.
• Regular consumption of formalin-laced food severely damages kidneys, heart, liver, and increases risk of lung/liver cancer.
• Formalin can harm eye retina and cause deformities or fetal death in pregnant women.
• Dr. Neena Mampilly emphasizes caution, noting formalin is not easily identifiable in nutrient-rich fruits.
• Soaking fruits in a vinegar-water mixture for 15 minutes or lightly salted water for 10 minutes can remove formalin.
