Claim: Foods such as Pop-Tarts, cake mixes and ice cream contain antifreeze (Viral Video, 2023-05-17)
Evidence (2023-05-17): There is no evidence for the claim. While some food contains small amounts of on of the ingredients used in antifreeze, it is considered safe for consumption, an FDA spokesperson confirmed in an email to Check Your Fact.
Claim: Foods such as Pop-Tarts, cake mixes and ice cream contain antifreeze (Viral Video, 2023-05-17)
Evidence (2023-05-31): Are Pop-Tarts FDA-approved killers, or do they just get a bad rap? Let's take a look at the ingredients list and see. [...] That said, the world would not come to a cataclysmic end if manufacturers took the dyes out of Pop-Tarts (and many other foods). They are probably harmless at the levels of exposure an occasional snacker would encounter. But they are also useless, except for selling more products. The world would soon adjust to orange soda that didn't look like it glows in the dark, or salsa, applesauce, hotdogs, or cereal that doesn't look as vivid. [...] No one has ever claimed that a steady diet consisting only of Pop-Tarts will give you eternal youth. But it seems that the things are unfairly singled out as rectangles of death, possibly because they do not resemble any life form, current or extinct, that has ever inhabited the planet. But if you look at their 31 ingredients it becomes clear that they're not any different from what you might encounter in ice cream, Oreos, yogurt, soup, salad dressing, low-fat foods...many more. In other words, they're just like most everyday foods in the American diet. There are healthy ingredients, thoroughly harmless ingredients, and a few that will be debated forever.

Evidence (2019-04-10): Ultra-processed foods include carbonated soft drinks; sweet or savoury packaged snacks; chocolate, candies (confectionery); ice cream; mass-produced packaged breads and buns; margarines and other spreads; cookies (biscuits), pastries, cakes and cake mixes; breakfast ‘cereals’; pre-prepared pies and pasta and pizza dishes; poultry and fish ‘nuggets’ and ‘sticks’, sausages, burgers, hot dogs and other reconstituted meat products; powdered and packaged ‘instant’ soups, noodles and desserts; and many other products (see online supplementary material, Supplemental Table 1).
Claim: Foods such as Pop-Tarts, cake mixes and ice cream contain antifreeze (Viral Video, 2023-05-17)
Evidence (2022-10-19): According to ChillN, liquid nitrogen (at -320 F) is used to flash-freeze traditional dairy ice cream or non-dairy ice cream. The result is smaller ice crystal development and a smoother consistency than traditional ice cream, as well as an eerie foggy scene for the molecular gastronomy nerds out there. There is no obvious odor, color, or flavor to this ice cream creation — so you may not know that it would have even been infused with liquid nitrogen. Plus, you can customize the nitrogen ice cream to fit your favorite toppings and flavors because it is made to order. Although nitrogen ice cream has its scientific and culinary merit, handling liquid nitrogen requires diligence and precision (aka, do not try this at home). If liquid nitrogen is not handled properly, it can cause skin and internal organ damage. Inhaling the vapor from liquid nitrogen (the coveted "dragon's breath") is especially risky for folks with asthma.

Evidence (2022-12-17): Many manufacturing industries also add it to their products, such as solvents, brake fluids, thinners, etc. About 97% of the seasoning and flavors we add to food and snacks contain propylene glycol. The food authorities, especially in the United States and European countries, have announced its safety for consumption in foods. [...] Different common foods contain propylene glycol, either in large or small quantities and many people are ignorant of this fact. Manufacturing industries use this propylene glycol to increase the lifespan of their processed foods. Propylene glycol can serve as food addictive or preservation. Foods that contain propylene glycol include the following: [...] Furthermore, we mustn’t forget to mention that the food grade one is formulated exclusively for human consumption, and it is frequently used as a humectant, solvent, or stabilizer in goods such as ice cream, cake mixes, and salad dressings. In contrast, industrial grade one is not intended for human consumption and is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as the manufacture of polymers, antifreeze, and coolants.
Claim: Foods such as Pop-Tarts, cake mixes and ice cream contain antifreeze (Viral Video, 2023-05-17)
Evidence (2021-12-13): The ingredients listed on some food products may sound as though they belong in a chemistry lab rather than in grocery store goods. Propylene glycol is one such example, found in thousands of products from salad dressing to dog food, cosmetics and antifreeze. This synthetic chemical, generally regarded as safe for food use, helps products maintain their moisture, consistency and texture, which is why it’s commonly found in packaged consumables and household products. [...] Many foods containing a laundry list of ingredients also contain propylene glycol. Some of the more common packaged foods containing it include dried soups and seasoning blends, marinades and salad dressings and baking mixes for products such as cakes, pancakes and muffins. In the beverage world, soft drinks, flavored teas, powdered drink mixes and alcoholic beverages may also contain propylene glycol. It is also used in some flavoring extracts for baking, as well as in some types of food coloring. Propylene glycol is also quite common in fast foods, bread-based products, highly processed snack foods, flavored popcorn and cake frosting. Pre-made, mass-distributed baked desserts such as brownies, cakes and cupcakes may also contain this chemical. Even some ice cream flavors contain propylene glycol.

Evidence (2022-04-21): Unlabeled propylene glycol, a form of antifreeze, lurks in commercial ice cream, risking health issues for those that consume it. [...] Antifreeze, then, is simply ice cream manufacturers’ answer to hard as a rock ice cream and the ice crystals that inevitably form as it is shipped long distances and moved between many different freezers before it finally makes it to your supermarket.

Claim: Foods such as Pop-Tarts, cake mixes and ice cream contain antifreeze (Viral Video, 2023-05-17)
Evidence (2021-01-27): A recent trend is ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. One shop in San Francisco, Calif., aptly named Smitten Ice Cream, has a viewing area where customers can watch ice cream being made with liquid nitrogen, accompanied by the impressive plume of fog that is released. Liquid nitrogen, which boils at –196 °C, will freeze ice cream almost instantly. Because the ice cream freezes so quickly, the size of the crystals is small, resulting in a creamy texture. And because it boils when it hits the mixture, the ice cream is aerated during the process. The popular Dippin’ Dots are also made using liquid nitrogen. It is no exaggeration to say that ice cream made with liquid nitrogen is the coolest ice cream around!

Claim: claims Ancient Greek philosopher Plato once stated, "Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." (Viral Quote, 2019-06-30)

Evidence (2024-08-16): The Republic, one of the most important dialogues of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, renowned for its detailed expositions of political and ethical justice and its account of the organization of the ideal state (or city-state)—hence the traditional title of the work. As do other dialogues from Plato’s middle period, and unlike his early or Socratic dialogues, the Republic reflects the positive views of Plato himself rather than the generally skeptical stance of the historical Socrates, who had been Plato’s teacher. ("Socrates" is the main character in most of Plato’s dialogues.) The middle dialogues are literary as well as philosophical masterpieces, containing sensitive portrayals of characters and their interactions, dazzling displays of rhetoric, and striking and memorable tropes and myths, all designed to set off their leisurely explorations of philosophy.

Evidence (2023-06-16): The Athenian philosopher Plato (c. 428-347 B.C.) is one of the most important figures of the Ancient Greek world and the entire history of Western thought. In his written dialogues he conveyed and expanded on the ideas and techniques of his teacher Socrates. [...] Plato was born around 428 B.C., during the final years of the Golden Age of Pericles’ Athens. He was of noble Athenian lineage on both sides. His father Ariston died when Plato was a child. His mother Perictione remarried the politician Pyrilampes. Plato grew up during the Peloponnesian War (431-404) and came of age around the time of Athens’ final defeat by Sparta and the political chaos that followed. He was educated in philosophy, poetry and gymnastics by distinguished Athenian teachers including the philosopher Cratylus. [...] Plato is credited with coining several phrases that are still popular today. Here are some of Plato’s most famous quotes:
Claim: claims Ancient Greek philosopher Plato once stated, "Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." (Viral Quote, 2019-06-30)
Evidence (2023-04-11): Plato maintained that one cannot simply believe or do as one wishes and maintain that this is the right way to live; one should instead work to discover what the right way to live actually is and then try one's best to live that way. Through his four-act drama, Plato provides a role model in Socrates for others to emulate and this drama relies completely on one's acceptance of the Theory of Forms; a world of ideal, objective, truth which exists independently of one's individual belief system. [...] In his drama of the last days of Socrates' life, Plato provided the world with the ultimate role model of the philosopher who lives his belief in these higher truths and in the unseen realm from which they originate and gives his life for that belief. Even if one does not accept the claims Plato articulated, one cannot help but admire his vision of a greater, better, world which one draws closer to simply by believing it exists.

Evidence (2019-09-09): A post shared on Facebook alleges that ancient Greek philosopher Plato once stated, "Only the dead have seen the end of war." [...] Plato and other ancient Greek philosophers are popular targets of apocryphal quotations. This statement, while often attributed to Plato, seems to fall into that category. (RELATED: Did Plato Say, ‘Be Kind, Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Hard Battle’?) An internet search reveals a number of blogs debating the origin of the quote, though none credibly link it to the ancient Greek philosopher. The Daily Caller News Foundation found no record of the expression in Plato’s complete works.

Evidence (2024-05-25): Plato (Πλάτων Plátōn; c. 427 BC – c. 347 BC) was a Greek philosopher from Athens during the Classical period in Ancient Greece, founder of the Platonist school of thought and the Academy (Akademia), the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. [...] - Attributed to Plato in No Ordinary Moments: A Peaceful Warrior's Guide to Daily Life (1992) by Dan Millman. It has also been wrongly attributed to Philo. It is a variant of the Christmas message "Be pitiful, for every man is fighting a hard battle," written by the Scottish preacher Ian Maclaren (also known as John Watson) in 1897. [...] - This quotation, often attributed on the Internet to Plato, cannot be found in any of Plato's writings, nor can it be found in any published work anywhere until recent years. If it really were a quotation by Plato, then some author in the recorded literature of the last several centuries would have mentioned that quote, but they did not. The sentiment isn't new, however. The ancient Roman Seneca, in his work on "Morals," quoted an earlier Roman writer, Lucretius (who wrote about the year 50 B.C.), as saying "we are as much afraid in the light as children in the dark." (Seneca was paraphrasing a longer passage by Lucretius from De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), Book II, lines 56 et seq.)

[...] Two experts also confirmed in emails to the DNCF that the quote does not come from Plato, with Cornell University professor Charles Francis Brittain writing, "As quoted there’s no way that’s by Plato."

Evidence (2024-09-22): - This statement actually predates Socrates, and was used as an Inscription at the Oracle of Delphi. It is a saying traditionally ascribed to one of the "Seven Sages of Greece", notably Solon, but accounts vary as to whom. Socrates himself is reported to have quoted it in Plato's dialogue Alcibiades, where he described it as "the Delphian inscription". According to Diogenes Laërtius, Thales was the one who first stated it. [...] - Presented as a full Socrates quote by various sources like this page, the first sentence of the quote is indeed attributed to Socrates in Plato's dialogue The Apology, but the second sentence is a description of Socrates' beliefs by Robert C. Solomon in his 1989 book Introducing Philosophy: A Text With Integrated Readings, from p. 4 (the comment is in the last paragraph on p. 3 of the 2012 edition which can be rented from archive.org). [...] - The Greek philosopher Socrates (470/469–399 BCE), who was the master, teacher, and inspirer of Plato, as well as the main character in so many of Plato’s seminal dialogues, considered philosophy chiefly as an education to the truth and called it "maieutic," which literally means "midwifery," or the art to help a mother to deliver her child.

Evidence (2020-07-21): (Plato, Protagoras 1996b, 343). [...] Plato famously proposes that one’s social status within the city should be determined by one’s innate talents: some people are simply predisposed from birth to be trained as guardians. Moreover, certain ethnic groups, according to the philosopher, have a greater propensity for developing one of the three elements of the soul. Thus, for example, Thracians and Scythians have a more pronounced spirited element which predisposes them for extraordinary martial courage (435e4–436a2). [...] Two centuries earlier, Heraclitus bore witness to the extraordinary power of human θυμός when he observed: "It is hard to fight with one’s θυμός; whatever it wishes to get, it purchases at the cost of soul (life)" (Burnet 1969, 140) = (Diels and Kranz 1948, fr. 85).

Evidence (2022-12-07): I recently heard the following quote from Greek philosopher Plato "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle". This insightful phrase made me reflect on both my professional and personal life. In my professional life I have had the honor of meeting so many hard working, kind individuals in my 23 years on my job. These are folks who live in our rental housing, have become homeowners with our help, have staved off foreclosure, and are students at the Normandy schools, our community members and many more. They lead lives not unlike mine in their aspirations, their hopes, but face many more battles than I do. I worry about paying for my children’s college education, not am I going to be able to pay for my rent since my car just broke down and I have to fix it to get to work. I worry about having enough time to get my workout in not am I going to lose my home. I worry about, actually I don’t have to worry about much while those we serve have the stress of so many things on their shoulders each and every day. I can only imagine the mental and physical stress this causes. My life is easy compared to so many that we serve. Given all this I try to remember Plato’s admonition, be kind. [...] I ask you to remember the people you pass, meet and interact with everyday are going through some kind of battle, maybe a similar battle to yours, so be kind.
