Recently, an urban myth has been circulating online, suggesting not to refuel after an earthquake due to the violent shaking of oil tanks stirring up sediment. However, CPC responded that post-earthquake inspections focus on machinery functioning and are unrelated to oil quality. In reality, earthquakes have minimal impact on oil quality as there are filtration processes from the inlet to the fuel dispensers. Taiwan FactCheck Center has debunked myths related to gas stations, clarifying that underground oil tanks have insulation, refueling in liters or amounts may slightly vary due to rounding, and refueling to a whole number still means adding oil, not air.

Dr. Kurihara Tsuyoshi, director of Tokyo Nihonbashi Kurahara Clinic, highlights the importance of eating slowly to promote protein absorption and reduce fat. Chewing food slowly stimulates saliva production, aiding in protein breakdown in the mouth before full digestion in the intestines. Slow eating allows pancreatic enzymes and bile to effectively break down proteins in the intestines, helping muscle growth. Eating too quickly hinders complete nutrient absorption and can lead to overeating. The ideal meal duration is around 20 minutes, allowing time for satiety signals to reach the brain. Dr. Kurihara suggests a method of putting down chopsticks after each bite, chewing 30 times, to overcome fast eating habits. Other habits like watching TV while eating may aid in slower consumption. This article contains valuable insights on the benefits of slow eating for health and weight management.
