There are many food hoaxes circulating about the Coronavirus, and social networks are an amplifier to these false beliefs. In this way, people are induced to engage in dangerous behaviors, both for themselves and for others.

Unfortunately they also reached me (one on copper), as well as questions from the readers of Dcomedieta. Which prompted me to write this article about all the food hoaxes that are circulating on the net about Coronavirus .

ALL FOOD BUFFALO ON CORONAVIRUS

1. Drink warm lemon water .
   There is no drink that can help us heal or avoid being infected with the Coronavirus. Drinking lemon water can make people with intestinal regularity drink, and clearly lemon has many nutritional properties, including the fact that it contains vitamin C. But it does not kill a virus, nor does it protect the body from contagion.
2. Introduce hot / boiling liquids to kill the virus.
   We know that the virus is sensitive to high temperatures (+ 70 °), but this does not mean that burning the mouth and esophagus with a hot liquid can protect us from infection.
3. Drink every quarter of an hour.
   Like the previous ones, this hoax also turns like a Chinese doctor’s confession that the powers that be do not want us to know. You do not become immune to the virus or defeat it by drinking more water “to rinse the virus out of the esophagus”.
4. Take colloidal silver.
   A book can now be written about colloidal silver to treat a series of diseases, and also in this case of the Coronavirus it turns out that colloidal silver can heal or avoid the risk of contagion. WHO and the FDA have disproved the story of “healing” colloidal silver.
5. Avoid tap water.
   There are no reasons why tap water can be a vehicle for infection.
6. Do not eat animal products.
   Apart from the fact that it is better to eat them cooked and not raw, or subjected to pasteurization (egg whites, milk), eating a vegan diet does not protect us or heal us from Coronavirus. Foods can hardly be a vehicle for Coronavirus infection.
7. Drink bleach and alcohol or drink mouthwash.
   Alcohol and bleach are useful for disinfecting surfaces, they do not kill the virus in our body if introduced by mouth. Such behaviors are only very dangerous.
8. The government will close all supermarkets.
   Provisions are used to avoid going out and thus increase the risk of contagion, also because outside the supermarket there may be queues where you risk not respecting safety distances. However, supermarkets are neither closing nor will they close. The situation is different for other businesses.
9. Eat garlic.
   As I wrote here, garlic and onion are antimicrobial, but there is no food capable of preventing contagion or cure us if we are infected.
10. Make a specific diet.
    On the net there are sales of diets capable of defeating the virus. A dietician was reported. There is no diet that can prevent infection or cure us of the virus. If anything, there may be a diet that is more supportive of the immune system. However, this does not mean becoming immune to the virus.
11. Drink a specific supplement.
    Some companies offer supplements that can avoid contagion, such as syrups or amino acid solutions or others. Don’t fall into these traps.
12. Take oregano essential oil. Use sesame oil. Oregano oil
    has strong antiseptic properties, so it is used in some protocols for those with intestinal disorders. It does not cure or protect against the virus. I don’t know how the sesame oil came out. Perhaps because being used in Chinese cooking it seemed plausible as a hoax.
