Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: When you eat or drink, the food travels down your esophagus into your stomach—it does not enter your trachea or bronchial tubes 🫁. If food entered your bronchial tubes, you would be choking/aspirating! Therefore, an orange cannot physically 'disinfect' your respiratory tract. While oranges contain Vitamin C, which supports general immune health, the specific biological mechanism described in this video is entirely false. 🍊
