The word poison is really [poison], which makes people uneasy when heard, so rumors always like to talk about it.
If all the friends in the circle [this is poisonous and that is harmful] are true, then Dr. Clove estimates that everyone will not survive this summer.
Today, Dr. Clove has selected 5 [toxic] rumors. Let’s take a look and don’t fall for it.
1. Water spinach is the “king of poison” in vegetables?
Seriously speaking, almost any vegetable can detect heavy metals and pesticides. (Except those that do not need pesticides)
However, the problem is that detection ≠ is harmful. If the amount of these residues does not exceed the standard, then there is no need to struggle with how to remove them.
Besides, the water spinach sold through regular channels is produced in a standardized way, and few pesticide residues exceed the standard.
If you are not at ease with the four words [regular channels], then Dr. Clove has no choice.
2. Is pointed tomato a poisonous tomato ripened by hormone?
The [pointed tomato] [pointed tomato] mentioned by everyone is what is shown in the following figure:
In fact, this kind of tomato is [deformed fruit]. To put it more popularly, these tomatoes are only congenital deformities and have more personality.
However, it is not voluntary for them to grow up like this, such as insufficient light and watering … Many reasons will lead to deformity, but in the final analysis, people are still serious fruits, non-toxic and harmless.
Smart readers may have seen it:
There is no need to spend money to cultivate pointed tomatoes, and of course there is no need to use hormones to ripen them.
Yes, tomatoes that can mature normally are good tomatoes. As long as they are not rotten, everyone can buy and eat them at ease.
If you have to [take fruit by appearance] and only buy tomatoes with excellent appearance, then Dr. Clove has no problem. After all, who doesn’t like good-looking things?
3. Bananas soaked in formaldehyde, toxic?
Rumor has it that bananas are soaked in formaldehyde after picking, and people will be poisoned if they eat them.
In fact, bananas are a special kind of fruit, because after picking, the respiration is very strong, they will ripen themselves, and they will easily turn black and rot. Therefore, after picking, unless they are sold nearby, they must be [soaked].
However, it is banana preservative, which is the [milky white unknown liquid] mentioned in this rumor, and it is not formaldehyde.
In fact, formaldehyde is also very wrong, because it can neither be used as food preservation, and its smell is very strong, so it can be smelled without being close.
If it really soaked in formaldehyde, who would buy it? Businessmen are not so stupid, are they?
4. Litchi is poisonous when soaked in liquid medicine?
The rumor came from a notice from a kindergarten:
Although the kindergarten staff are kind, these words are really-nonsense.
Like the bananas mentioned earlier, litchi is also very easy to break down, so after picking, it should be soaked and cleaned with preservative.
Common litchi fungicides and preservatives include imidazole, prochloraz, turdol, thiabendazole, etc. Their toxicity is not high. As long as it is used reasonably, it will not cause harm to human body.
As for hand-foot-mouth disease, it is an infectious disease caused by a variety of enteroviruses. It is mainly infected through close contact with patients’ feces, body fluids and respiratory secretions (such as sneezing droplets) and contaminated towels, toys and other items. There are more children in places such as kindergartens, so hand-foot-mouth disease is easy to occur.
To deal with hand-foot-mouth disease, the most important thing is to prevent it by washing hands frequently, ventilating frequently and eating cooked food. There is really no need to rely on litchi.
5. Is there [toxic protein] in melted and frozen ice cream?
It has been reported that if ice cream cannot reach the required temperature when stored, it will cause structural changes and even produce harmful substances, such as [soluble toxic protein].
[Soluble Toxic Protein] looks scary, but Dr. Clove has searched all kinds of data and found no word (soluble protein does exist). He has to admire the rumor mongers’ ability to make up lies.
To take a step back, if the refrigerated environment itself is unsafe, the temperature is not low enough, and there are a large number of harmful bacteria, ice cream that is melted and frozen back is harmful, but it has nothing to do with [toxic protein].
As long as the ice cream bought is within the shelf life and the package is not damaged, there is no need to worry.
However, it is too bad for many ice cream to be sold after melting and frozen back, which makes people have no appetite. Dr. Clove suggested that everyone should choose ice cream with good shape and no lack of arms and legs.
Recently, Xinhua News Agency published an article entitled “Black Industry Chain Behind Rumors”, revealing the shady scene of making money by spreading rumors.
It is said that the price for a micro-signal of 10,000 fans to forward a food safety rumor is 150 ~ 300 yuan, and individuals can earn 50 cents per transmission.
It is understandable that the gang is profitable in committing crimes, but it is only a little money for a person to forward a rumor. Dr. Clove can’t help but want to ask:
Is your IQ and dignity worth 50 cents?
