Rumors Chongqing Jiangbei Guanyin Bridge arrest traffickers?
Truth: Recently, some netizens posted a video of the crowd watching the on-site disposal of the police in the Guanyinqiao business district in Jiangbei, Chongqing, with the caption saying "arresting human traffickers", which aroused social concern. After verification, the information was a rumor deliberately made up by netizens for Bo Eyeball. The content of the video is actually a picture of the police mediating a family in front of a shopping mall in Guanyin Bridge, Jiangbei Province to educate their children, not the police arresting child abduction and trafficking suspects as reported on the Internet. At present, the Jiangbei police have imposed administrative punishments on rumor-mongering netizens in accordance with the law. (Source: "Chongqing Refutation of Rumors" WeChat public account)
Myth: Can reheating rice cause cancer?
Truth: This statement is incorrect. Properly preserved rice will not cause cancer when reheated. When we reheat the rice, the essence is to re-evaporate the water in the rice and gelatinize the starch through the action of heat energy. In this process, the ingredients in the rice do not undergo carcinogenic transformation due to heating. On the contrary, proper heating can kill bacteria and other microorganisms that may be present in the rice, improving the safety of food.
There are two versions of the rumor behind the claim that "rice can produce carcinogens when reheated twice". One is that the rice that is reheated contains acrylamide and the other is that the rice that is reheated contains Bacillus cereus. Among them, acrylamide is mainly formed during the cooking process of high-carbohydrate food heating (above 120 °C), especially in the temperature range of 140 °C-180 °C, while the ordinary heating temperature of rice is low and short, and it is not easy to produce acrylamide. Bacillus cereus multiplies in large numbers between 28°C and 35°C, so when cooked rice is not refrigerated for a long time, it is susceptible to this bacterium, not due to secondary heating.

Before eating moon cakes, check whether their appearance is normal, whether there is any peculiar smell and mildew, and once you find any abnormality, do not eat it again.

The consumption of moon cakes should vary from person to person, and special groups such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia, even if they eat "sugar-free moon cakes", they must strictly control the amount of consumption and not eat more.
In addition, in order to avoid waste and environmental damage caused by excessive packaging, and to protect the rights and interests of consumers, the No. 1 amendment to GB 23350-2021 "Requirements for Restricting Excessive Packaging of Commodities - Food and Cosmetics" stipulates that the number of layers of moon cake packaging produced shall not exceed three layers, and the moon cake packaging shall not use precious metals and mahogany materials, nor shall it be mixed with other products.
