【フェイクニュース】イタリアで🍋レモンジュースがコロナに効くというデマが蔓延

3. The lemon juice myth
Misleading information about other ways to prevent the virus has also been circulating on social media.

This includes a researcher said to be from Zanjan University in China, saying you should take as much vitamin C as possible to protect yourself from the virus.

This was published in a news portal known as Viralmagazine.it, whose metrics say their article has been viewed over 576,000 times and gathered over 30,000 shares.

The post also quotes a "Professor Chen Horin CEO of the Beijing Military Hospital" as saying that a hot drink with lemon can curb the spread of the virus.

But there are several things that are not right:

the Chinese name of the researcher looks fake as it translates into English as "what is your name"
Zanjan University does not exist in China
the professor referred to has appeared before in misleading health advice about cancer
And to be clear – there's no evidence at all that lemon juice or large doses of vitamin C will stop the virus.

レモンジュースの摂取くらいで効果あるんだろうか
