What is corpse oil? Demystifying cremation
Corpse oil: refers to the fat overflow of the corpse when it is highly decomposed. Generally, the deceased is fatter. In most parts of South Asia, it is said that some mages cut off the jaws of dead pregnant women and burned them with white candles. The dripping oil is corpse oil. Corpse oil can be seen on corpses that have not been treated for several days in summer. The corpse seems to have been soaked in oil. There are rumors that some prostitutes will use it, and it can attract men by rubbing it on their eyebrows. It originated in Thailand.
Recently, the editor of WeChat Moments found a news related to crematorium corpse oil, which clearly pointed out that some unscrupulous traders use crematorium corpse oil to make food such as spicy tang and rice noodles. Is this news true or false?

The following is a quote from WeChat Moments:
Title: Where did the crematorium oil go? (TV has been reported, urgent notice, be sure to read it)
What is corpse oil? Corpse oil refers to the fat overflow of a corpse when it is highly decomposed. Generally, the deceased is fatter. Corpse oil can be seen on corpses that have not been treated for several days in summer. The corpse appears to have been soaked in oil.
Where did the crematorium oil go? Our country has many provinces, all Malatang, rice noodle shops have been found to use low prices to buy crematorium oil cooking powder. "
At first glance, the editor of this news article is terrifying. Could it be that someone really uses crematorium oil to cook food?
Exclusive reveal of where the crematorium oil went
The above mentioned a WeChat Moments report on the whereabouts of the crematorium corpse oil. The report also stated: "While they burned the corpse, they used a sharp iron rod to pierce the stomach of the corpse, so that the oil flowed out... Once the oil of the corpse flowed out, it passed through another pipeline and flowed into a large barrel of corpse oil. Generally, the corpse oil in the crematorium is sent to the factory for industrial oil use. If people eat too much, the consequences will be unimaginable, and some corpses that died of disease carried a lot of germs."
So where did this story about the whereabouts of crematorium oil come from? The editor collected some information on the Internet.
(Lianhe Zaobao Network News) The Hong Kong Sun reported that Guangxi has been shocked by the panic of human corpse oil cooking powder! It was reported on the Internet that a chain noodle shop in Hezhou purchased corpse oil at a bargain price from a crematorium to cook local specialty pasta snail noodles; it also quoted a notice from the Guangxi Political and Legal Committee, which was conclusive and caused panic among diners. Many non-staple foods from Guangxi, which is adjacent to Hong Kong, have been exported to Hong Kong, and the news has become a hot topic among Hong Kong netizens. Several government departments in Guangxi came forward yesterday to refute rumors and inspect the relevant food, and the police also intervened in the investigation.
On Monday, a horrific post on the Chinese Internet said that the Guangxi Political and Legal Committee announced that a snail powder chain in Hezhou was found to have boiled powder with corpse oil and had arrested criminals.
If, as mentioned in the article, crematorium corpse oil had become the "seasoning" of snail powder, then who would dare to eat snail powder?
Exclusive reveal of where the crematorium oil went
It is said that corpse oil is generally used in industrial production. In order to save costs, noodle shops buy corpse oil from crematoriums at one-third the price of cooking oil. Online stickers say that corpses that died of illness have a lot of bacteria, which is harmful to health. Others claim that noodles cooked with corpse oil have a unique taste and are unforgettable, so there are many returning customers.
The Guangxi Political and Legal Commission clarified on August 25, 2011 that the notice had never been issued, and no police report had been received. The Hezhou Food and Drug Administration clarified that it had sent staff to check the two branches of the noodle shop, and no discrepancies were found. Samples have been sampled for further testing. The Hezhou funeral home issued a statement saying that it was ridiculous to burn the corpse to retrieve oil, saying that the corpse had been burned at a high temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius for an hour, and only ash could be seen without oil.
Judging from the above news, it was reported a long time ago that crematorium corpse oil had become the "seasoning" of snail powder. Now, after many years, the "caring person" took out the old story and brought it up again. I don't know why?
Judging from a large amount of information collected on the Internet, it is a bit ridiculous to say that crematorium corpse oil is used to cook food. I hope everyone will treat the relevant reports on "crematorium corpse oil" rationally.
