Can you believe the words of expertsZhang Baotong 2018.1.9

In the past, I was convinced of what I saw in the press and on television about the experts. However, later on, I found that there were many contradictory and even implausible statements between experts and experts. For example, about UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). I don't know how many books, magazines, movies and television I watched growing up, but I still can't figure out whether it exists or not. Some people say that it exists, citing a lot of evidence, including photographs, witnesses, and film and television footage, that makes it impossible to believe it. However, there are also those who say that UFOs are a hoax, and there is a lot of evidence, and the most convincing thing is that there is no physical object to prove its existence so far.

In our lives, the words of experts are also guiding all aspects of our lives, and sometimes, without experts, we don't know what to do. Take our daily diet and health as an example, some experts claim that "eating fruit in the morning is gold, eating fruit at noon is silver, and eating fruit at night is garbage", but I usually eat fruit at night. Because I work at work in the morning and at noon, I only have time to eat fruit in the evening, so I also follow the guidance of experts, saying that eating fruit after dinner helps digestion and cleanse the intestines. For this reason, some colleagues said that I was wasting resources and ignoring health by eating fruit at night.

His wife is weak and cold, and she likes to put some ginger in her dishes. However, her colleagues all sent her WeChat, saying, "Eat ginger ginseng soup in the morning and ginger arsenic cream in the evening." And in the words of experts, it is explained that ginger can enhance and accelerate blood circulation, stimulate gastric juice secretion, stimulate the stomach and intestines, promote digestion, and have antibacterial effects. Eating a little ginger in the morning is good for your health. It can be eaten at night, because ginger is originally hot, which will make people angry and hurt their lives, so it should not be eaten. In order to prove whether this statement is substantiated, I also looked up a lot of information on the Internet. That's what many experts say. But the question is who eats ginger for breakfast? And Chinese generally don't have ginger in their breakfast. On the contrary, you see that Chinese restaurants are open at noon and in the evening, and ginger is found in many dishes, but not all of them are eaten. Even now, I wonder why ginger is still ginger in the morning, why does it become arsenic in the evening? Our family eats ginger every day at noon and at night, and we don't see anything abnormal.

In terms of health, the most talked about and most evil is the detoxification of the human body at night. The content is that the human body sleeps from 11 o'clock at night to 7 o'clock in the morning, and every two hours will be the detoxification time of a certain important organ, and the detoxification schedule of various organs is also listed. However, during this time, people are sinking into dreams, how can they still detoxify? If they are really detoxifying, they should also have some results or performance. As we all know, the human body generally excretes waste from the body in a timely manner through feces, urine, sweating and other ways. One of the most obvious manifestations is that if a person does not have a bowel movement for a few days, toxins will work in the body, causing bad breath or sores. At night, the body does not detoxify. People who don't sleep at 11 p.m. feel sleepy, and that's because the biological clock is at work. The biological clock dominates the biological habits of our daily lives. This is the reason and outcome of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Biology and Medicine. They illustrated that once the biological clock is disturbed, it takes 1 week for the brain and 2 weeks for the liver and stomach to recover. Frequent disturbances in the body's circadian clock can easily induce diseases. There are two reasons why we get a certain disease: one is genetic inheritance, and the other is that we have bad habits in life.

This morning I saw such an article on a very famous website, called "Don't panic if you have cancer, eat these 4 snacks every day, you can starve cancer cells alive". I read the article in great detail, and the four foods are pistachios, bitter melon, pears, and grapes. It is said that pistachios contain γ tocopherols that can reduce the risk of lung cancer, the anti-cancer effect of bitter gourd comes from a quinine-like protein, the carotene contained in pears, vitamin B2 and vitamin C have certain anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects, and the anthocyanins and resveratrol contained in grape skin are natural oxidants. After reading this article, I thought to myself: if the medical community could develop these four foods and make anti-cancer drugs, and use this kind of gastronomic therapy to replace the surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy that make patients extremely painful, how much good would it bring to cancer patients! But the question is why doesn't the medical community do it?

In fact, the news looks more like an after-dinner chatter or an advertisement for the distributors of these foods. There may be a lot of fruits and vegetables that have anti-cancer effects, but can they be used to cure cancer? These are obviously two different propositions. Eating more fruits and vegetables like this can prevent cancer, but if we really have cancer, we can't be cured by eating these foods. Because eating these foods alone does not starve cancer cells, it will delay timely treatment because they are misled.

There is even more bizarre "real" news, which is the article I saw on the same website today, "Men say they have superpowers, they can hovering freely in the air without resorting to anything". You can't believe it, because the whole news is a video, a man in his 30s went up to the top of a very tall building, put his feet together, his arms outstretched, and then slowly rose from the ground like an American F35B fighter, to a place of about 20 meters, and then stood still in the air for dozens of minutes, and there were many pedestrians on the street downstairs watching and filming with their mobile phones. If you saw this video, would you believe it was true? I think you would, because no one would't believe their eyes. But is this science? I wonder if this guy really had this magical function, why wouldn't he play basketball or be an acrobat? Back then, when Michael Jordan won the Bulls' first Finals in 1991, he jumped from the edge of the free throw arc and swiped over the heads of three players, including Magic Johnson, and the ball fell from his right hand to his left hand, and before hitting the ground, he made a layup with his left hand and put it into the basket. It's a marvel that has been amazed and incredible all over the world. If this man gets on the court, he is many times more brave than Michael Jordan.

After seeing some unbelievable news and events, I realized that sometimes news can be made up, and it is made up seamlessly, exactly like the real thing. If I were to write an article on "Sugar is a Drug" and list how eating sugar is addictive and harmful, it would definitely convince many readers and think that I am a professional health expert. If we think about the fact that Shanghainese people like to put some sugar in their cooking, they don't know how much sugar they have to consume in a year, but they have the highest life expectancy in Chinese mainland. When you think about it this way, you should know that sugar is not a drug.

People say that eating more sugar will make many people gain weight if they eat meat. However, are the people of Shanghai fat? Are the people of Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang fat? Are the inhabitants of Iceland and Greenland fat by fishing and hunting, and eat meat at all meals? In fact, the life expectancy of both Shanghainese and Icelanders is very high. It's not that eating sugar, meat and salt is harmful to the human body, it's that we have bad habits. We now see many Americans and Chinese obese because they eat too much sugar and meat, because they eat too much and move too little. If they were like the people in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Greenland, would they be able to get fat?

Because people have different physical conditions and genes, many of the admonitions from doctors and experts may be appropriate for some people and not for others. Many studies and statistics claim that smokers are more than 20 times more likely to develop lung cancer than non-smokers. However, some people have cancer, some people don't, and some people don't have lung cancer. In addition, some people will not grow meat no matter how much they eat, but some people will gain weight when they drink cold water. It's the adaptation in our body that comes into play. If our body is accustomed to alcohol, we will not get drunk after drinking a lot of alcohol, and if our body is not used to alcohol, I am afraid that if we take a sip, we will feel drunk.

The fact that so many examples are given is not to discourage you from trusting the experts. We still have to believe the words of experts, but we must understand and grasp ourselves, and use our basic scientific outlook and perception of right and wrong to distinguish between real science and pseudoscience, and not follow the crowd and hear from others, and do not regard fake things as true, thus misleading our lives and audio-visuals.
