Rumors that pedestrians have traffic accidents, 30,000 compensation outside the zebra crossing, 300,000 compensation within the zebra crossing?
Truth: Recently, some netizens posted a video saying, "If a pedestrian is involved in a traffic accident, if he is hit on a zebra crossing, he can compensate 300,000 yuan, and if he is hit outside the zebra crossing, he can only compensate 30,000 yuan." In this regard, the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security issued a Weibo response on the 2nd, "The statement in the online video is not rigorous, after a traffic accident, the traffic police will determine the responsibility of all parties according to the illegal behavior of the parties, and at the same time, the compensation amount for the traffic accident is calculated according to the degree of personal damage and property damage caused by the accident, not the difference between 300,000 and 30,000 as reported on the Internet."

Myth: Red dates and shrimp skin will be poisoned when eaten?
Truth: The rumor that red dates and shrimp skin cannot be eaten together is actually a "copy" of seafood and fruits; The so-called "scientific basis" of the rumor is nothing more than "the vitamin C contained in jujube can chemically react with arsenic in seafood to form arsenic". But in fact, most of the organic arsenic in seafood such as shrimp skin is stable, and trace amounts of inorganic arsenic are quickly metabolized in the body, so they do not react with the vitamin C contained in fruits such as jujube to form arsenic trioxide (commonly known as arsenic), which can lead to food poisoning. Even if arsenic in seafood such as jujube and shrimp skin can react, there is still the question of how much to dose. Taking shrimp as an example, according to the mainland standard, the inorganic arsenic content in each kilogram of fresh shrimp does not exceed 0.5 mg, even if the inorganic arsenic content of fresh shrimp reaches 1 mg/kg, it is necessary to eat more than 10 kg of shrimp at a time, and then ingest a large amount of vitamin C, it is possible to be acutely poisoned. So, talking about toxicity aside from the dose is completely alarmist. (Source: China Consumer Daily)
