Beijing, January 20 (Xinhua) -- "Drinking some red wine every day can soften blood vessels", which is actually a "scientific" rumor. Experts pointed out that the content of resveratrol in red wine is very low, even if drinking 20 bottles of red wine a day can not play a role in softening blood vessels, on the contrary, red wine contains about 15% alcohol, which will have a negative impact on cardiovascular function.
Others said that the radiation generated by "air charging" technology is extremely strong and will endanger health. Experts explain that the discussion of the impact of radiation on the human body must consider the amount of radiation, if the charging power of electronic products is not high, the impact on the human body is negligible. In addition, radio wave air charging technology is transmitted to mobile phones in the form of a very narrow beam of "millimeter wave", and there is no experimental data to show that millimeter wave will bring radiation.
