- Ethylene is known to cause damage to the neurological system, affects the eyes, skin, lungs, memory and leads to prolonged hypoxia (lack of oxygen supply).

- Ethephon is a plant growth regulator. It promotes pre-harvest ripening in apples, currants, blackberries, blueberries, cranberries, morello cherries, citrus fruit, figs, tomatoes, sugar beet and fodder beet seed crops, coffee, capsicum. Ethephon is easily converted into ethylene and has the same harmful effects.
State Food and Drugs Control Administration (FDCA) has banned the use of ethephon last year, but fruit traders have now resorted to bethylene.

some fruits like apple and guva. if you find them shining more then take a blad and shave them. because wax will be applied to them so that they can be stored for more days. if that goes into our body we may suffer with diseases

The producers and merchants do anything to quicken profits. Artificial ripening is quicker and the producers want to get cash at the earliest. This is true everywhere as all are in haste.

Not only fruits , they even use they even use some insecticides for vegetables. Recently I have prepared a spinach curry. but we couldn't eat it as it is medicine taste. If we consume such food , it will surely cause some ill effects and some time even cancer.

Early ripening techniques are used to complete the population demands but it is playing with health of population.

Friends almost all food products have become poison. We cannot totally avoid it. We can take some remedial steps to avoid its side effect. Keep fruits soaked in cold water for atleast 5 hours. Peel little deep, upper layer of fruits before having it. This can help you to consume less chemicals.

yes today even fruits are not healthy if artificial ripening is done. That is why more and more focus is on organic farming.Very nice and useful information shared.
