台灣事實查核中心的報告指出，近期有媒體報導稱「食物冰太久、食物發霉不丟、使用材質不明鍋具煮食」是胰臟癌致病原因，然而醫師表示這些行為並非造成胰臟癌的原因，而是導致其他健康風險。營養師也指出這些不良飲食習慣可能導致食物中毒等問題，並非直接引發胰臟癌。因此，將冰箱與胰臟癌直接聯繫起來的說法是錯誤的。

On June 21, 2024, at 5:37 am, after the party caucus meeting, People First Party Chairman Ko Wen-je and Legislator Huang Kuo-chang were interviewed. During his term as Taipei mayor, Ko Wen-je persisted in organizing the Dual-City Forum despite the council's resolution, leaving behind an unpaid 1.07 million debt. Members of the Green Camp have questioned this and demanded that Mayor Chiang hold Ko accountable. Former Taipei Deputy Mayor Huang Shan-shan pointed out that the resolution indicated that if cross-strait tensions arose, the forum should be suspended; however, Huang emphasized that the forum has facilitated city-to-city exchanges for over a decade without political implications. She criticized the current tensions in the Taiwan Strait, questioning the necessity for such standards and whether Chiang Wan-an should participate. Huang stressed that the forum does not compromise Taiwan's interests but fosters cross-strait communication to reduce misunderstandings, urging equal treatment between Ko and Chiang. Ko's wife, Chen Pei-chi, echoed similar sentiments, indicating their willingness to clear Ko's dues if necessary but advocating against dual standards by the mayor and council. If future forums are to be held, Chiang should personally fund them. For more news, read The Taibao. The article covers Chen Shui-bian avoiding prosecution in a corruption case, the rejection of a review, and statements by Legislator Hsu Chih-chieh about Nazi groups in Blue Sky Action without verification, criticized by the Kuomintang for lacking evidence and showing poor conduct.
