Did Huang Ju die from toothpaste?!?
Yes… it could be true! Zhongnanhai has confirmed this morning that all state-run media have been instructed to refrain from giving Huang’s cause of death, which is widely believed to be cancer.
The concern stems from recent stories about China sending shipments of tainted toothpaste overseas. The toothpaste contained a chemical widely believed to cause cancer. And… just what if… Huang Ju had been using that kind of toothpaste? What if using tainted toothpaste killed Huang Ju? The story was too sensational for China’s Propaganda Department, which issued an edict ordering newspapers, radio and TV stations to refrain from giving Huang Ju’s cause of death.
One can never be too careful.
I believe he used Colgate or Oral-B stuff. One can’t be a scrooge on its toothpaste. :p
