15. Use of polished rice in human diet causes the following disease [U.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 2019]

Correct Answer: (a) Beriberi
Solution:White rice is milled rice that had its husk, bran, and germ removed. After milling, the rice is polished, resulting in a seed with a bright, white, shiny appearance. The milling and polishing processes of polished rice both remove nutrients. A diet based on polished rice leaves many people vulnerable to the neurological disease beriberi, due to a deficiency of thiamine (Vitamin B₁). Adopted over brown rice in the second half of the 19th century because it was favoured by traders, white rice has led to a beriberi epidemic in Asia (Including British India).

18. The ‘blue baby’ pollution disease is due to the excessive presence of which of the following in drinking water ? [R.A.S./R.T.S. (Pre) 2010, U.P.P.C.S. (Spl.) (Mains) 2004]

Correct Answer: (c) Nitrate
Solution:Blue baby syndrome is an illness that begins when a large amount of nitrates in water (or food) are ingested by an infant and converted to nitrite by the digestive system. The nitrite then reacts with oxyhaemoglobin to form methaemoglobin, which cannot carry oxygen. If a large amount of methaemoglobin is formed in the blood, body tissues may be deprived of oxygen, causing the infant to develop a blue coloration of their mucous membranes and possibly digestive and respiratory problems. This condition is also known as methaemoglobinemia.

19. Excess of which of the following in the blood causes the ‘Blue Baby Syndrome’ disease ? [M.P.P.C.S. (Pre) 2014]

Correct Answer: (c) Methaemoglobin
Solution:Blue baby syndrome is an illness that begins when a large amount of nitrates in water (or food) are ingested by an infant and converted to nitrite by the digestive system. The nitrite then reacts with oxyhaemoglobin to form methaemoglobin, which cannot carry oxygen. If a large amount of methaemoglobin is formed in the blood, body tissues may be deprived of oxygen, causing the infant to develop a blue coloration of their mucous membranes and possibly digestive and respiratory problems. This condition is also known as methaemoglobinemia.

20. ‘Blue baby syndrome’ is due to the presence of which of the following in the blood ? [U.P. P.C.S. (Pre) 2021]

Correct Answer: (b) Methaemoglobin
Solution:Blue baby syndrome is an illness that begins when a large amount of nitrates in water (or food) are ingested by an infant and converted to nitrite by the digestive system. The nitrite then reacts with oxyhaemoglobin to form methaemoglobin, which cannot carry oxygen. If a large amount of methaemoglobin is formed in the blood, body tissues may be deprived of oxygen, causing the infant to develop a blue coloration of their mucous membranes and possibly digestive and respiratory problems. This condition is also known as methaemoglobinemia.
