SOUTH KOREA CRACKS DOWN ON HUMAN FLESH PILLS!

South Korea is going after smugglers who peddle capsules from China containing the flesh of dead babies.

Korea Customs Service had found 35 cases of capsule smuggling from August 2011 to March 2012. About 17,450 such capsules were disguised as stamina-boosters and were sought after because they’re believed to be a panacea for diseases.

The disturbing practice was brought to light last month on the Korean TV program, “Lee Yeong-don’s Food X File,” South Korean newspaper Dong-a Ilbo said Monday.

“Since human flesh capsules are confirmed to contain ingredients lethal to humans, including super bacteria, we will preemptively curb their smuggling at borders to protect public health,” customs authorities told the newspaper.

The flesh is taken from fetuses and babies from northeastern China who died shortly after they were born, according to the report.

Smugglers have tried to dupe customs agents by mixing the capsules with vegetable extract or putting the pills into packaging of other products.

Korea’s Yonhap News Agency said customs is looking at packages in particular coming from the Chinese cities of Yanji, Jilin, Qingdao and Tianjin — where the flesh capsules are believed to be produced. It's made from the flesh of dead babies? SOURCE
