Sensationalizing magic potions irresponsible

A RECENT TV REPORT about muskmelons in Lanxi county, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, found that a sweetening liquid is injected into the melons, sparking public concerns. Li Baoju, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, comments on Beijing News:

Many worry that the "sweetening liquid" might contain harmful chemicals. As a result, people have said they will hesitate before buying the muskmelons in the future.

That's a total misunderstanding. The "sweetening liquid" contains nothing but micro-elements, amino acid, potassic fertilizer, which do little harm to human bodies. However, the report did not explain that clearly.
