The ignorant Indians are always cheated and fooled by the multinationals. There was a time when they propagated that coconut oil is full of cholesterol and is very dangerous to health. Under that pretext they procured large volumes of coconut oil for the soap industry. Foolish Keralites thus avoided coconut oil totally and coconut cultivation has gone down by more than 60%. These fools did not know that lauric acid is the main content in it and is very good for health Now they are doing the same on mangoes. Calcium carbide is manufactured by heating limestone and carbon in a kiln at a very high temperature wherein if at all any volatile material if present will be driven off. Calcium carbide is very sensitive to moisture resulting in the formation of lime and acetylene. Acetylene gas , a hydrocarbon generates anthocyanins and flavons and the fruit appears ripened outside. Neither lime nor C2H2 is arsenic more
