Today's Refutation of Rumours (8 February 2024)

Rumor can you pay to take the VIP channel to cross the sea in advance?

Truth: Recently, the Haikou Port Terminal Police Station in Hainan Province received a report from the public, saying that when they were browsing a short video platform, they saw someone marking "paying the benefit fee can cross the sea in advance through the VIP channel". After the informant contacted the person, he handed over 1,000 yuan, but the account was blocked. After the Haikou Port Wharf Police Station intervened in the investigation, the suspect Lao was quickly arrested and sentenced to 10 days of administrative detention. We would like to remind you that all passengers and drivers should purchase cross-sea ferry tickets from regular channels, and there are risks associated with any non-ticketing platform purchase.

During the Spring Festival, whether it is a reunion of relatives and friends or a trip, it is inseparable from the company of food. Starting from the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the "Today's Popular Science" column will focus on the topic of food safety and health, and conduct a series of popular science on food matching, nutrition and health, food safety, scientific health and other content that netizens are concerned about, clarify misunderstandings, and protect the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the masses.

Myth Red meat is a Group 2 carcinogen, and processed meat is a Group 1 carcinogen?

Truth: A few years ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) under the World Health Organization (WHO) released an assessment report on red meat and processed meat products, which assessed processed meat products as Group 1 carcinogens and red meat as Group 2A carcinogens. However, IARC's classification of carcinogens is not based on who is more capable of causing cancer, but on the degree of conclusive scientific evidence. The more clear the evidence of carcinogenicity, the higher the grade, and the ability to cause cancer is not necessarily related to the grade. It can be understood that the risk of bowel cancer in people who do not eat meat is 1%, and the risk of people who eat it is 1.18%, and the overall risk is still very small. The IARC report also notes that for individuals, the risk of colorectal cancer from eating processed meat is still small and almost negligible. The cause of cancer is very complex, and genetics, lifestyle habits, dietary habits, etc. may all have an impact, and the cause cannot be simply attributed to one food. The mainland dietary pagoda recommends that the average person eat about 40-75 grams of livestock and poultry meat per day, as long as it is eaten normally, everyone does not have to worry too much about eating meat to cause cancer.
