All the social security funds in mainland China are managed by foreign-funded institutions?

Can't you eat sugarcane before and after Qingming Festival?
There has always been a saying that "Qingming cane poisons snakes". It aroused heated discussions among the majority of netizens.
The truth
After verification, this claim has no scientific basis. What is really toxic is the mildewy sugar cane. Due to the warmer weather and increased precipitation before and after the Qingming Festival, the fungus of Arthrospora multiplies and produces sugarcane mildew, which produces the toxin 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) that damages the central nervous system, which is also the main culprit of edible mildew sugarcane poisoning. Therefore, when buying sugarcane, you should choose fresh ones, while discolored, soft, odorous, long-haired, red-hearted, and unripe sugarcane are not recommended to buy.

Myopia when you are young, can you "counteract" presbyopia when you are old?
It is rumored that although myopia is uncomfortable, it is beneficial to stay up until you are old, because people who are short-sighted will see things more clearly when they are old, and they are not easy to presbyopia.
The truth
After verification, this rumor has no scientific basis. As people age, people who are previously nearsighted may be able to read near objects more comfortably when they are not wearing glasses, because myopia can alleviate the effects of presbyopia to some extent, but this does not mean that the two can be completely offset. It is advisable to have regular eye exams and appropriate vision correction measures as recommended by the ophthalmologist.
