A man named Wang in Hangzhou, China have the habit of eating four mooncakes every day that eventually turned his blood into white color.

On his check-up at the hospital, the medical staff collected his blood for examination and they were shocked when they collected a slow blood flow of thick and cloudy white liquid coming out, that turns to be blood.
The results shoelws the triglyceride level in his bloodstream was 16.6mmol/L which the normal test is less than 1.7mmol/L.
