Let's take a look
01
MRI does nuclear radiation cause cancer?
According to the Internet, when doing the examination, the physical examination items involving X-rays, especially the MRI examination, will have a risk of causing cancer due to nuclear radiation.
The truth
Upon verification, this content is found to be inconsistent with the facts. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not use X-rays at all, and there is no radiation risk. As for X-rays, some medical imaging techniques, including CT scans, do involve the use of ionizing radiation, and when examined, there is strict control and management of the radiation dose to minimize the patient's radiation exposure. For most people, the benefits of doing these imaging tests when needed far outweigh the potential risks. In summary, it is not necessary to avoid X-rays or CT scans because of concerns about radiation.

A single hospitalization cannot exceed 15 days, otherwise the medical insurance will not be reimbursed?
It is rumored that the National Health Insurance Administration has issued a provision that medical insurance cannot be reimbursed for a single hospitalization for more than 15 days, which has aroused heated discussions among netizens.
The truth
After verification, this rumor is a rumor. The National Health Insurance Bureau resolutely opposes and welcomes the masses to report to the local medical insurance department, or directly to the National Health Insurance Bureau, for a small number of medical institutions to change the "average" of the medical insurance payment standard to the "limit", and forcibly require patients to be discharged, transferred or hospitalized at their own expense on the grounds that "the medical insurance limit has arrived".

"China's Sky Eye" turned into a "garbage dump"?
Recently, a netizen posted a picture on social platforms and said, "The Tianyan built in the mountains of Guizhou at a cost of 260 million US dollars has become a garbage dump!"
The truth
Upon verification, this content is a rumor. In 2020, such rumors appeared, and the pictures circulated on the Internet were actually pictures of the collapse of the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, USA, not the 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope "China Sky Eye" (FAST) in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, China.

Hundreds of people were injured in the 4.7 magnitude earthquake in Shangri-La City, Diqing, Yunnan Province?
According to the Internet, the news about "a 4.7-magnitude earthquake occurred in Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, and hundreds of people were injured when the building collapsed, and the situation was very tense", which attracted the attention of the majority of netizens.
The truth
Upon verification, this information does not correspond to the facts. The official response was that no casualties were reported on April 9, and local communications, power supply, and transportation were normal. In order to attract attention and gain traffic, some self-media used methods such as piecing together old pictures and videos on the Internet to publish false graphics, texts, audio and video information about the Shangri-La earthquake to seriously mislead netizens.

The raw water source of the Suijiang River in Guangdong is insufficient, and the water supply will be carried out in different periods?
A news about "the raw water of Suijiang River in Sihui City, Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province has ultra-high turbidity, which cannot meet the normal water supply and will be supplied in different times", which caused panic among local netizens.
The truth
Upon verification, this information is a rumor. According to the official, the equipment of the waterworks is operating normally, the tap water source is sufficient, the water quality is in line with the national standards, and can meet the daily tap water demand. However, all information related to people's livelihood matters is subject to the official platform.

If the gas tank catches fire, will it backfire and explode if the valve is closed directly?
Recently, some netizens said that if the gas tank catches fire, it will backfire and explode if the valve is closed directly, so don't operate it like this.
The truth
After verification, this rumor is a rumor. The gas tank is a large pressure vessel, the gas is compressed from the gaseous state into a liquid state and stored in it at high pressure, the internal pressure of the gas tank is much higher than the atmospheric pressure outside, this pressure difference makes the gas spray outward, so there is no problem of going back in. In other words, closing the valve directly will not cause the "backfire explosion" transmitted on the Internet.

Online car-hailing was chased by the transportation department, resulting in 2 deaths and 1 injury?
A short video with the text "A serious traffic accident occurred on Huaqing Road in Xi'an City, and an unlicensed online car-hailing was chased by the transportation administration department and caused a car accident, resulting in two deaths and one injury" spread on social platforms, causing social concern.
The truth
Upon verification, this content is found to be inconsistent with the facts. The official response was that the staff of the Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment rescued a car that had overturned on the side of the road with the people at the scene. Some people used the live video to fabricate and spread false information that "the government chased the car, causing two deaths and one injury". At present, the rumor-mongers have been summoned to the public security organs and placed under administrative detention in accordance with the law.

Do the dried noodles sold in the supermarket really contain glue?
Recently, someone washed the noodles purchased from the supermarket with water, and after washing, a sticky "glue" appeared, and it was not easy to tear off after cooking, so it was rumored that these noodles that were chewy and cooked for a long time were added with some kind of glue.
The truth
After verification, this rumor is a rumor. When wheat flour and products (noodles, dough sheets, dumpling wrappers, etc.) are washed with water, the starch and water-soluble ingredients will leave, leaving a sticky, extensible, and water-insoluble substance, which is actually gluten. After wheat flour is made into dried noodles through the process of mixing, resting, calendering, cutting, drying, cutting, and packaging, the composition of the flour generally does not change, and the gluten still exists. Gluten is the "skeleton" of noodles, if the gluten content in the noodles is too low, the toughness and elasticity of the noodles will be insufficient, and it will be easy to break during processing, and it will be easy to mix soup when cooking. The higher the grade of wheat flour, the higher the gluten content required.

Is it easy to get cancer by wearing black underwear?
It is rumored that it is best not to buy black clothes, and it is easy to get cancer if you often wear black underwear.
The truth
After verification, this rumor is not consistent with the facts. Black is one of the most common colors for textile and apparel products. Black textile and garment products should meet the requirements of Class A for infants and young children proposed in the "National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products", and products in direct contact with the skin should at least meet the requirements of Class B. When purchasing textile and apparel products that come into contact with the skin, you should purchase products that meet the requirements of Class A or Class B from formal channels. Wash newly purchased textile and garment products, especially those that come into direct contact with the skin.

Eat more alkaline foods to lose weight fast?
Recently, there have been many articles on social platforms about eating more alkaline foods if you want to lose weight quickly, which has aroused heated discussions among many netizens.
The truth
Upon verification, this content is found to be different from the facts. Common alkaline foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and milk. Although most of these foods are good for weight loss, it does not mean that eating more will make you thinner. If you eat too much of this type of food, your calorie intake exceeds your consumption, and you will also become fat. For example, coarse grains are essentially starch-rich grains, sunflower seeds, almonds, etc., which are rich in a lot of oil, and excessive protein intake in milk will also be converted into fat. If you want to lose weight, you can increase the proportion of alkaline foods on the premise of a balanced diet, but at the same time, you should also pay attention to controlling the total calories of food intake.
