In March, everything revives. All kinds of rumors have also come to "confusing people's hearts". Yew soaked in water to prevent cancer, Eight Treasure Porridge is made of sponge, new regulations are issued for driving license exams, and planes are spreading medicine to treat white moths... The endless rumors are unpredictable. The "Truth Seeking" column has launched a list of rumors in March to reveal the true face of the rumors.
Food rumors frequently occurred in March. Meng Wei, a researcher at the Institute of News and Communication, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the Internet New Media Research Office, pointed out in an interview with the "Truth Seeking" column that "the emergence of food rumors such as 'sponge eight treasure porridge' also reflects the high attention to food safety issues, distrust mentality and scientific literacy of ordinary consumers. The counterfeit and inferior products of black-hearted enterprises in the market have made people hate them, causing some consumers to have a high psychological tension. Some people's lack of understanding of food scientific knowledge and food safety supervision knowledge has also led to their lack of discrimination in the face of rumors. For example, they are not familiar with the effective means of qualifications and credit certification, QR code detection, and their use value and practical knowledge of daily life. When they have doubts but cannot be directly tested, they will become uneasy and sarcastic. Rumors The outbreak of the incident once again reminds the public that everyone is responsible for food safety supervision. Relevant departments should increase the intensity of food safety supervision. The media should strengthen scientific communication and popularization, expand depth and breadth. While enhancing their awareness of prevention, consumers should also consciously improve their scientific literacy, cultivate their ability to actively use new online media to serve real life, improve their ability to analyze rumors and false information, and make rumors self-defeating.

[Truth] . In an interview with the media, the person in charge of the manufacturer of Babao Porridge Manufacturer said, "The phenomenon that occurs in the video can basically be determined as the flocculation formed after continuous low temperature and freezing after starch precipitation.

In response to this statement, the "truth-seeking" column conducted a freezing test of Babao Porridge to observe the state of Babao Porridge after being frozen. The Babao Porridge that has been frozen for 24 hours appears as frozen solid. After the thawed Babao Porridge is poured out, there are condensed blocks.

2. " yew can prevent cancer by soaking in water "
[Rumor] " paclitaxel " extracted from yew yew is of great efficacy for a variety of advanced cancers. Soaking in the stems and leaves of yew can prevent cancer.
[Truth] The statement that "paclitaxel" can fight cancer is true, but the "paclitaxel" anti-cancer substance extraction technology contained in yew is very complex and the processing procedures are very strict. Moreover, "paclitaxel" is completely insoluble in solvents such as water and alcohol, so using yew to boil water and drink it in wine has no anti-cancer effect. Moreover, yew itself is toxic, and eating too much may cause poisoning. As early as 2002, the former Ministry of Health had included yew on the "List of Banned Items for Health Food". In 2006, the announcement was issued again, "The production and operation of food containing yew" was strictly prohibited. The announcement stated that "scientific research shows that yew is very toxic. Without the guidance of a doctor, long-term consumption may cause serious toxic side effects such as inhibiting bone marrow hematopoietic function and falling white blood cells."
3. " food incompatible, and eating white frost on fruits and vegetables will cause poisoning "

Teacher Fan further emphasized that in fact, some institutions have conducted clinical trials on various "food incompatibility", and the theory of "incompatibility" does not actually exist.
The main ingredients of white cream on fruits and vegetables are actually non-toxic and harmless natural wax, as well as a small amount of sugar and other organic matter. The real pesticide residue is trace substances that are rarely seen with the naked eye.

[Truth] As early as January 20, 2016, a Weibo account called "@Onion Daily" posted this picture. In the self-introduction of the Weibo account, it is marked "Anyway, our news is all fake news."

The owner of the car in the video is a friend of the woman in red. He originally wanted to drive to take Ji, a drunk woman in red, home, but Ji was unwilling to drink, so the pulling phenomenon occurred in the video.
After the police investigated, there were no illegal acts such as robbery, sexual assault, etc. that night. The situations rumored by netizens that "a woman was robbed and a man was a human trafficker" are inconsistent with the facts. The video has been circulated many times, and it has evolved into "a female college student in a university who was forcibly kidnapped" and "a robbery of people in a van late at night". On March 26 and 27, Guangdong Qingyuan Internet Police and Zhanjiang Public Security Bureau all refuted the rumors through Weibo.
