correct, China is not the top one for stomach cancer. however, it is still at #5 out of all the countries. gutter oil, imitation egg, walnut stuffed with cement, industrial salt sold as table salt, plastic rice, etc, certainly doesn't help

I believe the fake eggs are a myth as real eggs would be cheaper than anything else you can cook in ways similar to real eggs.

But it is definitely contested, as this quora posts show [1]. I am inclined to believe the idea that these are eggs from unhealthy chickens or stale or frozen eggs or combinations of that.

If you actually read the article, it says those myths are basically all bullshit.
