What are pseudoscience in our general cognition?

In our life, we often hear some so-called scientific knowledge that seems alarmist, but it is actually deceptive. If you lack scientific knowledge, you are likely to be cheated.

Let's take stock of things that often happen in life. For scientific knowledge.

First, there have been rumors that eating things heated by microwave ovens will cause cancer. Those who spread this rumor absolutely lack scientific knowledge, because as we all know, the process of cooking food in microwave oven is actually that microwave vibrates with water molecules in food to generate heat to cook food, which is absolutely safe, non-toxic and harmless. How can it cause cancer? The so-called carcinogenesis means that human cells become cancerous after receiving radiation and eventually develop into cancer. However, if you eat food heated by a microwave oven and there is no so-called radiation in the food, people will naturally not get cancer.

Second, there have been rumors recently that eating cucumbers and seedless watermelons with thorns is easy to make people infertile. In fact, this is also a rumor. As we all know, the reason why the top flower of cucumber has thorns and watermelon can be seedless is actually the result of auxin, and there is no auxin receptor in human body. After auxin enters the human body, it can only be excreted through metabolism, and there are even fewer auxin residues on cucumbers and watermelons, which simply cannot reach the concentration that has side effects on the human body, so it will not cause human infertility at all.

Third, we all know that facing the computer for a long time may produce some radiation, which is actually bad for the human body. So some people say that putting a cactus next to the computer or washing your face after using the computer can effectively prevent radiation. I mean, this can only be bullshit. The so-called radiation is actually the energy emitted to the surroundings in the form of particles and waves. Even if you put a cactus next to the computer, you can only absorb the radiation of the cactus.

Fourth, some people say that it takes a month to detoxify after eating a pack of instant noodles. In fact, instant noodles are considered as unhealthy food, because they are high-calorie fried food and their nutrition is not enough to support human needs. If people eat instant noodles for a long time, they will consume too much energy in a state of unbalanced nutrition, which will lead to puffiness and have a bad influence on their health, not because instant noodles are toxic.

In fact, in our life, there is still a lot of pseudo-scientific knowledge that we have heard but don't realize. Some of these pseudo-scientific knowledge comes from people's wrong cognition, and some are maliciously spread by some people, which requires us to distinguish carefully with our eyes wide open.
