Eating is a big deal for us people. The people live on food. But food safety, an area closely related to each of us, is always messed up by rumors. At the 15th China Food Safety Forum, China Economic Net and the Chinese Society of Food Science and Technology came up with a "China Food Safety Rumor Refutation List", which immediately debunked 8 common rumors in daily life. This is a great thing to justify food safety.
Let's just say MSG. Beginning in 1968, it was miserably messed up by some propaganda from the West, and the MSG industry had to be reorganized. Experiments have long proved that there is no harm in eating MSG reasonably for a long time. But rumors, once they spread, are like thorns in people's hearts, and they are difficult to pull out. After so many years, the situation has only improved a little in the past two years.
Lard too. In the past, people used to say that it was unhealthy, but it was slowly replaced by refined oil. In fact, the laboratory found out that there was nothing wrong with the lard. The facts are all there, but the rumors are like ghosts, and it will take a lot of time to get rid of them completely.
Pickles have also been reported to cause cancer. In fact, when pickled vegetables are pickled, the nitrite content will change, and there will be no harm at all when eaten normally. On the contrary, sodium benzoate, a food additive, is more likely to cause cancer.
The milk market is also in turmoil. Some merchants sell "milk-flavored drinks" as "milk", isn't this a deception to consumers? This is the same as selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, so that consumers will be fooled in a daze.
There are also claims such as "vegetable spraying formaldehyde preservation", "farmed shrimp soaking medicine" and "contraceptive pill fish farming", which have not been confirmed. These rumors are like a cancer, exuding bad effects in a food safety environment. The relevant departments in various places can do a good job of testing and testing to remove these food safety hazards, but we can't let our food be "poisoned".
We people have to eat every day. If you are always affected by these rumors, you don't dare to eat it, what is the fun of life? How uncomfortable it is to face a table of delicious food, but worry that this one is poisonous and that one is harmful. And these rumors can also affect those regular manufacturers and merchants, causing them to lose their business. is like a manufacturer of monosodium glutamate and lard, the product is fine, but it is rejected by everyone because of rumors, and it is wronged.
We have to believe in science, in the facts that have been proven by experiments. When you hear a statement about food safety, don't believe it, but learn more about it. Those who spread rumors, stop creating these unfounded panics. We all want to enjoy food in peace, and we don't want to eat in fear.
In this era of information moving particularly fast, rumors run faster than the wind. But we can't let the rumors blindfold us, we have to be like Sun Wukong, who can see through the disguise of rumors. Only in this way can we truly protect the safety on the tip of the tongue and let our taste buds enjoy the happiness brought by food freely. It is necessary to let reliable food safety knowledge shine like sunshine to every corner and drive away all the shadows of rumors.
In ordinary life, we must also learn to distinguish between true and false information. When you see a message about food safety, let's see where it came from. If it is issued by a formal institution, it will have a high degree of credibility; If it's gossip, be careful. In this way, we can eat at ease, eat happily, and let life be full of happiness brought by food.
Therefore, this matter of refuting rumors must be done all the time. It is necessary not only to refute rumors on such large-scale forums, but also to spread the news of refuting rumors more widely and farther. It is necessary to let more people know the truth. For example, through community propaganda and school education, everyone can know what is rumor and what is fact.
In addition, there must be corresponding penalties for those who maliciously spread rumors. They cannot be allowed to spread rumors without paying a price. Only in this way can the generation of rumors be reduced at the source. Our food safety environment can get better and better, and everyone can really eat with peace of mind.
