@Farhan,
It appears that you do not know your Islamic scriptures.
Do be good enough to see this
''FROM THE HADITH OF SAHIH BUKHARI (2)
Sahih Bukhari, Ablutions (Wudu'), Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234)"
Did Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him prescribe camel urine as medicine?
Note what was advised by the Prophet himself and is a part of the Hadith, which I believe is sacrosanct in your religion!
Partaking in Cow Urine is not a religious prescription, it is a part of Auyurveda.
Let's not:
1. indicate ignorance wherein you do not know your own religion; and that is surprising since it is mandatory for all Muslims to be taught the religious scriptures as a part of being a good Muslim.
2. enter in irrelevance and appear silly when exposed.
More than three million Chinese drink their own urine in the belief it is good for their health, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Friday. Participants at a recent seminar on the practice in the northeastern city of Shenyang were told that urine contains many active ingredients which strengthen the immune system, Xinhua said.
"Urine contains no bacterium and is more sanitary than blood," Yang Liansheng, a professor from the Liaoning Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, was quoted as saying. Engineer Zhu Jinfu told the seminar he had been drinking his own urine since he was 13 and had lived a healthy life for the last 58 years, Xinhua added. Many of his forefathers had also lived to a ripe old age thanks to urine therapy, he said. (Reuters)
Urine Therapy: A cure for all diseases
Also:
Beijing - The daily "South China Morning Post" states: More than
three million rural Chinese drink their own urine daily, because
they suppose it has high nutritive and curative value. This practice
is especially popular in the northern province of Shaanxi, where
there are clinics, specializing in Urine Therapy, and run by
sanitary authorities and specialist physicians of this Urotherapy.
"The Urine Therapy treats all types of illnesses, including Asthma,
Tuberculosis, colds, and cancer", 47 year old Du Ximin who operates
a clinic in the locality of Wuzhuang. In this town of 2,000
inhabitants, which is found on the outskirts of Xian (the provincial
capital), a total of 500,000 people drink their own urine daily,
with the hope that it will fortify the immune system.
According to Professor Du, throughout the years, hundreds of
patients seek his advice about the curative properties of urine, so
much so that he felt obliged to organize seminars to satisfy the
demand and the curiosity of the visitors.
It appears the practice began in Wuzhuang, when a Taoist monk
advised a neighbor to imbibe his own urine, to treat a chronic
disease.

As far as eating exotic animals, I don't think you have to educate the Chinese.
