The 10 most common misconceptions about fruit

Nowadays, when people hear about genetic modification, they are too scared to touch anything. Fruit is our daily contact food, which some misconceptions are blindly exaggerated or promoted, this article gives us the most authoritative explanation. 1, sage fruit, is the tomato genetically modified to get? Far in the Andes Mountains of South America, there is no human footprint, the sainted fruit is thriving. With Yuan Longping academician’s hybrid rice, as well as after continuous crossbreeding selection, before the emergence of the back of a larger tomato. So, the truth is actually, the saint fruit is the tomato’s father. 2, long black spots of bananas, can eat? The epidermal cells of bananas contain oxidizing enzymes. When the epidermal cells break down after a long period of time, the oxidizing enzymes come into contact with oxygen and oxidize into black chemicals, which gives rise to black spots. In fact, the black spots are a sign of banana ripening. Mature bananas are not only rich in vitamins and minerals, but also contain anti-cancer substances that can stop the expansion of cancer cells and induce apoptosis, as confirmed by the research of Haruyo Iwasawa’s team at Teikyo University in Japan. As long as the flesh is not rotten, long black spots of bananas, you can safely and boldly eat. 3, eat more papaya, can breast enlargement? Chest is mainly composed of breast and fat, mainly affected by three factors: (1) congenital genetics. It will determine the location of the distribution of body fat, resulting in some people will be more fat gathered in the chest, so the same height and weight of people, some chest big, some chest small. (2) Human hormones. For example, during pregnancy, under the joint stimulation of estrogen and progesterone, the mammary glands increase and fat also increases, resulting in significantly larger breasts. Folk science recommended “papain” and “vitamin A”, can not lead to an increase in human hormones, no use for breast enlargement. (3) Fattening! Fattening! Fattening! Eat more papaya, fat, fat increase, there may be a real chance. 4, inside the plum, there are worms? Prunes do tend to have worms inside: fruit fly larvae! Eating it does not make people grow parasites, because the human stomach contains strong acid that can easily kill it and break it down into protein. If you really don’t want to eat it, you can use salt water to soak it for fifteen minutes to force the worms out, and then wash it with water. 5, seedless watermelon, with birth control pills? Again, like Yuan Longping’s hybrid rice, seedless watermelon is a natural variety bred by crossbreeding. The use of 4-ploidy watermelon crossed with 2-ploidy watermelon, producing 3-ploidy watermelon, become sterile varieties, so that there is no seed. In addition, the contraceptive pill is for animals and has no effect on plants. 6. Large strawberries with enlargement agents can cause cancer? First of all, some strawberries have large heads, strange shapes, and hollow inside, which are mostly caused by the breeding method. Secondly, some farmers do give strawberries with expanding agents, but there is nothing to worry about. The scientific name of puffing agent is chlorpyrifos (CPPU), which is a plant growth regulator that can increase the division speed of plant cells and make them grow bigger, but it is not harmful to animal cells and not as scary as carcinogenic. Internationally, bulking agents have been widely used in watermelon, grapes, kiwi, eggplant… Crop. 7.Apple peel with wax, can I eat it? Many fruits, including apples, plums, pears, grapes, etc., have natural wax on the skin, forming a barrier to prevent water loss. Before entering the fruit store, a dust layer and soil is usually cleaned, which causes the natural wax to be removed. To prevent water loss, another wax is applied manually, but don’t worry, these are also edible natural waxes, from plants or animals such as Brazilian palm and beeswax. If you are a Virgo, still a little tangled inside, can be peeled and eaten. 8, the fruit is divided into male and female, the female is sweeter? Perhaps you have heard a lot of picking fruit tips, especially the difference between male and female. For example, navel oranges, the bottom navel is large for the female, navel eye is small for the male, must pick the female, will be sweeter. In fact, all fruits do not have a biological sense of male and female. The size of the navel is a variety of different growth factors caused by the difference in the skin, and the taste of the flesh has no relationship. 9, eat fruit after meals, can lose weight? Many families are accustomed to a large fruit plate after meals, and even think that eating fruit after meals, can cleanse the intestines and help to lose weight. In fact, eat fruit immediately after meals, because the food is fermenting in the stomach and intestines and affect the digestive function, especially the elderly and pregnant women, eating fruit after a long meal is likely to lead to constipation. It is recommended to eat fruits at least one hour after meals. Or eat before meals, which can increase satiety, reduce the intake of other foods, to achieve weight loss effect. 10, diabetic patients, can not eat fruit? The American Diabetes Association provides dietary advice, the first one is to eat more fruits and vegetables. Because the fruit is mainly fructose, fructose to raise blood sugar effect is less than glucose, most of the fruits of the glycemic index is not high, diabetics can eat. At the same time, fruits contain a lot of dietary fiber, which has the effect of reducing the blood sugar response. The key is to control the intake of total carbohydrates, and to reduce the intake of staple foods after eating fruits (200g of fruits ≈ 25g of rice). In addition, diabetics should not consume fruit juice because dietary fiber has been largely lost in fruit juice, and the blood sugar response will be higher than that of fruit.
