In this era of information, Internet rumors are like ubiquitous air, and you and I may inadvertently inhale these harmful substances. Some rumors even put on it".ScienceLet us mistake us for true knowledge.
The most typical of these are the pseudoscientific claims about diet and health. For example, have you ever heard of the saying "what you eat to make up for what you eat", the panic of food restraint, or the fact that carrots can protect your eyes?

This claim lacks scientific basis and ignores the complex nutrient absorption and metabolic processes of the human body. In fact, although there are some components that are beneficial to anemia, excessive consumption can increase cholesterol and may cause cardiovascular disease.
While it's true that some food combinations are not recommended, many times the harm is exaggerated and not true. For example, the saying that prawns and oranges produce arsenic is actually only possible in extreme cases. As long as it is not a large and frequent inappropriate combination in our daily diet, the impact on health is minimal. The blind pursuit of perfect food pairings can lead to unbalanced nutrition.
There are many products on the market that attract consumers with the label "aphrodisiac", such as:Leeks claim to have significant men's health effects.

Such rumours are not only misleading to consumers, but can also delay the correct disease**.
There are also many misconceptions about MSG. Many people think that MSG is a chemical product that is harmful to health when consumed for a long time. In fact, the main ingredient of monosodium glutamate is monosodium glutamate, which is found in natural foods, such as corn, wheat, etc. Under the premise of moderate use, it is a safe food additive. And the claims that MSG causes hair loss or cancer lack scientific basis.
Talking about it".Diaphoresis**This is an old but misleading way. Some people believe that by sweating profusely, it is possible to ** disease, especially when there is a fever. However, this method is not only not effective in aggravating the disease, but may also aggravate the patient's condition. The real ** should be based on scientific medical knowledge, not superstition.

Instant noodlesAs a common fast food, it is often labelled as ".Junk food”。However, in reality, this is not the case with instant noodles. Its nutritional content and hygiene standards are in compliance with the regulations and should not be simply labelled as negative. It is perfectly acceptable to eat it in moderation and with other foods reasonably.
Lard has a place in the traditional diet, but some rumors exaggerate its health effects and even associate it with ".Oriental traditional culture"Connection. In fact, whether it's lard or vegetable oil, moderate intake is key. Excessive consumption of any type of fat and fat has the potential to cause adverse health effects.
In addition, about carrots".Eye-care mythsAlthough carotene can be converted into vitamin A and has a certain health care effect on the eyes, it cannot **myopia or other eye diseases. Excessive consumption of carrots may lead to problems such as yellowing. Maintaining healthy eye habits is more important than any so-called "diet".
There are also some claims that claimMosquitoes prefer to bite blood type Oof people. However, there is no scientific basis for this claim. Mosquitoes do not choose who to bite based on blood type, but on a variety of factors, such as body temperature, the amount of carbon dioxide exhaled, etc. Such rumours are not only unfounded, but can also mislead people's perception of mosquito prevention measures.
The spread of these rumors not only shows people's desire for health knowledge, but also reflects the urgent need for science popularization. On the road to health, we should be guided by science, be cautious of all kinds of claims on the Internet, and avoid being misled. By continuously learning and improving our scientific literacy, we can better distinguish between authenticity and protect the health of ourselves and our families.
While certain food combinations may produce unhealthy chemical reactions, this can only happen under certain conditions, such as extreme intakes. In everyday life, these situations are almost unlikely. Therefore, excessive panic about food restraint is actually a misinterpretation of scientific facts.
In the age of information, we should learn to think critically, not to believe unverified information, and to face various health and dietary issues with a scientific attitude. Only in this way can we protect our health and our knowledge system from being eroded by rumors.
