Rumor that the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway will stop tolling?
Truth: Recently, some netizens posted on the online platform "After 30 years of opening to traffic, one of the busiest expressways in the country, it has decided to stop tolling!", declaring that "the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway will stop tolling". After verification and verification by the China Internet Joint Rumor Refutation Platform with the relevant competent authorities, the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway has not stopped tolling, and the content of the article is false information. The highway photos used in the article are actually edited and cropped on the basis of the news photos of "Guangzhou North Ring Expressway Stops Tolling", and the relevant content is fictitious facts, disrupting public order and misleading the public.

Myth: Can eating toon cause cancer?
Truth: It is said that toon (bud) contains a lot of nitrite substances, which can be poisoned and carcinogenic if eaten simply, and many people have even been hospitalized because of it.
In fact, nitrate and nitrite are widely found in water and soil in nature, so most vegetables will contain a certain amount of nitrate and nitrite substances, but the content is different. In 2002, the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives assessed that the acceptable daily intake of nitrite was 0.07 mg/kg (calculated as nitrite ions). The nitrite content of toon varies from approximately 1.475 μg/g to 2.778 μg/g throughout the growth cycle. According to this calculation, an adult weighing 60 kg needs to eat at least about 1.6 kg of toon to cause nitrite poisoning. Therefore, the statement that "eating toon can easily lead to excessive nitrite, poisoning and carcinogenic" is pure exaggeration and should not be believed.
However, from a health and safety point of view, care should be taken to avoid excessive nitrite intake. The results of some experiments showed that the nitrite content in fresh toon was high, and the nitrite content of toon was different from different sources (origin and variety). After blanching the toon for 1 minute, more than 85% of nitrite can be removed. Therefore, consumers only need to pay attention to blanching with boiling water when eating toons, and at the same time pay attention to eating a small amount at one time, and there will be no problems.
