Xi Jinping’s Had Stroke During Party Meeting !!

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review found the stroke claim misleading: the image showed Xi Jinping sipping tea at the National People’s Congress in March, not at the Central Committee meeting on July 18. It reported no evidence confirming that he was ill during the meeting.

Bij de zoetstof aspartaam werd een naamsverandering naam "amino sweet" goedgekeurd. Deze stof is vergif.

Publisher’s rating: 'AminoSweet' is de merknaam van aspartaam bij het Japanse bedrijf Ajinomoto, het is geen benoeming voor de categorie van zoetstof. Op voeding zal het aangeduid staan met het E-nummer of de soortnaam. De WHO oordeelde dat aspartaam "mogelijks kankerverwekkend" is in grote hoeveelheden.

The review says AminoSweet is Ajinomoto’s brand name for aspartame, not a new general name for the sweetener. It says EU labeling rules require aspartame to be identified by name or by its E-number, E 951.

La porte-parole de la Maison Blanche Karine Jean-Pierre a déclaré ceci : "Nous allons simplement continuer à qualifier le président Trump de « menace pour la démocratie"

Publisher’s rating: Non, Karine Jean-Pierre n'a jamais déclaré que la Maison Blanche continuerait de qualifier Donald Trump de « menace pour la démocratie ». Cette phrase a seulement été prononcée par une journaliste dans la salle comme le montre la retranscription du point presse.
