Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: The commercially used salt water for making bean curd was analyzed and it consisted of calcium and other salts without harmful heavy metals. We induced a similar phenomenon by experimental application of commercial salt water on guinea pigs. CONCLUSION: Bean curd is used as a food commonly in the Far-East, allowing a greater chance of exposure to salt water accidentally or occupationally. Bean curd is becoming more popular even in Western countries. To confirm causation, we induced a similar phenomenon in guinea pigs by experimental application of commercial salt water.
