There are some Chinese websites that teach you how to earn around €70 by making and selling your own fake eggs. They are made using gelatin, hydrochloric acid, and other chemicals.

Many of these ingredients can be harmful, and consuming these eggs can lead to memory loss and dementia.

It is a popular natural medicine that has been used for thousands of years in China. The last few decades it has become a global phenomenon particularly for people who consume natural products. This has led to skyrocketing prices, creating opportunities for some sellers to cheat their customers.

A common practice today is to cook the root in sugar to make it weigh more. Ginseng has 20% sugar but these altered ginsengs contain 70%. Also, boiling them makes them lose their medicinal properties.

3- Black pepper
