Is there really a food that gets thinner the more you eat?

By Defranco ZaltzPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

Human beings always have some seemingly illogical wishes, such as "fewer things, more money and close to home", and "just eat not fat".

Is there food that gets thinner as you eat?

"No diet, no rebound, I learned to eat thinner and thinner" "binge eating not fat, a month easy to lose 20 pounds" ...... try to ask which is trying to lose weight have " The "fat" young people see such slogan can not resist not to point in it? The more you eat the more thin gimmick food, also called by some people "negative energy food", refers to eat not only will not give the body increased energy reserves but can consume energy, the more you eat the more weight loss food. But is there such a good thing?

The answer may disappoint you, the real "negative energy food" does not exist.

We know that food can provide energy to the body, and the body needs to consume energy when eating and digesting. So only in theory, if the energy consumed is greater than the new energy, people can indeed "eat thinner". But just like "turning stone into gold" does not exist, scientists have not found any kind of food that can be called "negative energy food".

Currently on the market with the "eat more thin" gimmick of food, most of them are not easy to raise blood sugar and satiety of fruits and vegetables, grains and other foods, the essence of which is actually to reduce the total amount of food intake to achieve weight loss by increasing satiety, but is not equal to "negative energy The essence of these foods is to reduce the total amount of food intake to achieve weight loss by increasing satiety, but it is not the same as "negative energy. This type of food, as long as you eat enough, more than your consumption, as well as fat. The fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular items.

Keep your mouth shut, open your legs

The mosquitoes are the best.

Background.

After mid-autumn, the weather turns cooler, in the evening under the cool breeze walking a bend is a pleasant thing, which thought "autumn mosquitoes as fierce as a tiger". Many friends joked that the park's roadside should be planted full of pigweed, both to repel mosquitoes, but also not need to fertilize, how good wow. So, the pigweed can really "mosquito" it?

The truth.

pigweed

The pigweed does have the ability to eat insects. Many people know, pigweed on a long similar bottle of the cylindrical structure, insects once into the "bottle" inside, due to the "mouth" near the very slippery, and "cap" can Once inside the bottle, the insects will gradually slip into the "digestive juices" at the bottom of the bottle until they are digested and absorbed by the hogweed.

But why do insects "voluntarily" fall into the trap of pigweed? Some of them can secrete "sweet-smelling" honeydew to attract sugar-loving insects, such as ants, while others have special "bottle tops" that are resistant to UV light. "very special, with a special ability to reflect ultraviolet light, can trap some insects rely on ultraviolet light to find food, such as flies, butterflies and so on.

However, mosquitoes? As we all know, male mosquitoes mainly feed on plant sap, in principle, being trapped by the attraction of hogweed is possible. But the problem is, we hate the love of blood-sucking female mosquitoes, it is looking for bite objects that rely mainly on carbon dioxide and infrared, pigweed is good at the common "lure enemy skills" on the female mosquitoes are not attractive. Not only that, some reports show that some mosquitoes can also use the pigweed secretion of "digestive juices" to lay eggs, incubate and even fledge.

As you can see from the above, the idea of eliminating mosquitoes through pigweed is too much to be taken for granted.

Is black navel soybean genetically modified?

Background.

At present, China allows the commercial cultivation of genetically modified crops only cotton and papaya, many people's knowledge of genetic modification is still in the state of "only hear its voice, not its people". This half-understanding has led many people to wonder "if is this genetically modified" when they see new and strange-looking crops, such as the "black navel soybeans are genetically modified soybeans" that circulate online from time to time. So, can genetically modified crops be identified by their appearance?

The truth.

The scientific methods used to determine GM crops include molecular testing, but they cannot be identified by mere visual observation or comparison.

China has a history of growing soybeans for more than 2,000 years and is recognized as the world's original producer of soybeans. Not all soybeans are the same as the common "soybean".

Soybeans

Common Soybeans

For example, Jiangxi's "Gan Dou 6", Hubei's "Jin Dou 626", Anhui's "Lu Dou 1" and Xinjiang's "Shawan Black Navel". They are also not genetically modified soybeans.

There is no necessary connection between the appearance of the crop and the GM technology, and the GM crops need to be judged by molecular testing and other means, and cannot be identified by their appearance. Moreover, GM soybeans are not allowed to be grown in China, and imported soybeans are only allowed to be used for feed and oil extraction, and are not normally seen.
