break the hegemony of the US

by

China no longer chases Silicon Valley in Ia. In certain aspects it has advanced it and the earthquake that Deepseek caused at the beginning of the year was The beginning of the consolidation of a Big 5. After years of dispersion, these five companies have separated from the rest of the Chinese ecosystem to compete directly with American giants developing foundational models. Why is it important. Five Chinese companies have emerged as serious competitors from OpenAi, Google, Anthropic and company. Its strategy combines large investments, international talent and approaches that prevail the open source. The context. Two years ago, China lived a scattered battle, with dozens and hundreds of models and companies experiencing without clear leadership, without important differentiation. Today, the panorama is another: A quintet has developed technologies that rival great Americans. They symbolize the transition from China as a technological imitator to innovative that marks the rhythm. However, their models are not freed from government censorship. In addition, they do not compete internationally at the same level as Americans for a mixture of political, demographic and business model motifs. The five champions. Alibaba, Bytedonce, Stepfun, Deepseek and Zhipu are the new power of the Chinese power. Each has found its own niche: from open source domain to pure research. Alibaba: The King of Open Source Alibaba became one of the great world leaders of open development in AI together with Meta. His QWEN models series Master the open source ecosystem: The ten most popular Hugging Face models are based on secondary developments of Qwen technology. Alibaba’s strategy combines massive investment with radical opening. It will allocate 380,000 million yuan (about 52,000 million dollars) to research in AI and cloud infrastructure over the next three years, a budget at the height of great Americans. This commitment to open source It is not altruistic. By releasing its advances, it alibba accelerates world innovation while positioning itself as the premium infrastructure and services provider. Developers adopt free qwen … … But companies pay for cloud services, support and specific optimizations. The model demonstrated its effectiveness: while Openai and Anthropic maintain their closed systems, Alibaba builds an ecosystem where thousands of developers continually improve their base models. This distributed collaboration network can exceed the speed of innovation of closed laboratories, however well financed they are. Bytedance: giant and massive Bytedance brings to the group something other Chinese competitor possesses: Proven experience in global mass consumption products. The company behind Tiktok moved its knowledge of viral algorithms and user experience to the IA creating Doubaoa conversational platform that exceeds 100 million monthly active users according to the figures released by the company itself. This adoption scale provides Bytedance A unique advantage: large -scale real interaction data. While other laboratories train with static data sets, Bytedance optimizes their models with feedback constant of millions of real conversations, continually refining the behavior and usefulness of their systems. The company complemented its experience in consumer products with technical talent such as Wu Yonghui, who directs its research team in large models. Yonghui was a senior researcher at Deepmindso it brings direct knowledge of Silicon Valley developments. Your programming tool Bring It is oriented to business markets. Use OpenAI and Anthropic models (GPT / Sonnet) as a base, so it follows A pragmatic approach similar to perplexity: Use the best available technology while developing their own abilities. Stepfun: the discrete national team Stepfun is The most enigmatic member of the Big 5 Chinese. His low profile is deliberate. Based in Shanghai and backed by Shanghai State-Wned Capital Investment Co., it represents the most strategic facet of the Chinese national bet in Ia. He won the nickname of “King of Involution” In multimodal models, a recognition of their ability to overcome rivals in Benchmarks technicians Achieved outstanding positions both In Chatbot Arena International like first place In OpenCompassthe most reputed evaluation platform in China. His competitive advantage lies in a technical team led by Xiangyu Zhang, one of the four co -authors of the Paper Resnet. This work, which marked a turning point in the study of deep neural networksholds the record as the most cited article of any field published in the 21st century, something that provides immediate scientific credibility to Stepfun’s developments. State support allows Stepfun long -term research approaches without immediate commercial pressuressimilar to the model that followed laboratories such as Deepmind or Openai in its initial phases. Or Deepseek’s, but we talk about them later. ZHIPU: Pioneer in Smart Agents Zhipu represents the most direct connection between the Chinese elite academy and the commercialization of advanced AI. Incubated in the Tsinghua University, the most prestigious technical institution in Chinacombines academic rigor with business ambition. He wants to become the first Chinese startup of LLMS to go over. It is a pioneer in the development of AI agents. Your concept Phone Use And the launch of agents based on US laboratories demonstrates independent innovation capacity, not only to monitor western tendencies. Your most advanced product, Autogglm Ruminationrepresents what the company classifies as the first L3 level intelligent agent in the world. L3 is in any case an internal categorization of Zhipu, not a standard metric internationally recognized. The Immine Before the end of the year a milestone for the sector is: it will be the first public validation of the market value of the Chinese companies of AI. From there, the market will say. Deepseek: pure research as an advantage Deepseek showed that fundamental research approaches can compete directly with hyperfinanced commercial products. Your model R1 was an earthquake at the beginning of the year. And was achieved by a team of engineers released from immediate financial pressures and focused exclusively on technical efficiency and innovation. The company’s philosophy contrasts with the environment of Silicon Valley: Your engineers are encouraged to improve efficiency from a purely investigative perspectivewithout that financial pressure to generate short -term benefits. This environment is fertile land for risky experimentation and the exploration of unconventional approaches. The success of Deepseek … Read more

Nvidia has to deal with the absolute distrust of several US legislators. His plan in China is in danger

by

The dispute that Eeuu and China hold It is deeply conditioning the business of many Chinese companies, such as Huawei, SMIC or Hua Hong semiconductor, but is also affecting a very important way To some western companies. The Dutch ASML and the American Nvidia They are in all likelihood that are facing the greatest challenges as a result of the pulse maintained by the American and China administrations. The Chinese market is essential for both, but the sanctions that have approved US governments and the Netherlands They prevent them from selling their customers led by Xi Jinping a good part of their product porpholio. Even so, both companies are doing what is in their hand to defend their economic and commercial interests, and dispense with the Chinese market is not one of its options. In fact, Nvidia has officialized His intention to put a specialized installation in the design of integrated circuits in Shanghai (China). Some legislators consider that Nvidia’s plan is a threat to the US The newspaper The Wall Street Journal It has been made with a letter in which the Republican senator by Indiana Jim Banks and the Democratic Senator for Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren are directed directly to Jensen Huang, the general director of Nvidia. In this text these legislators argue that the installation that Nvidia plans to open in Shanghai represents a direct threat to US national security due to the possibility that China acquires the ability to design avant -garde GPU for artificial intelligence (AI). “No American company should be helping the Chinese Communist Party to close the gap in artificial intelligence,” Nvidia has responded immediately. There is too much at stake to take this light attention call. A spokesman for this company has expressed that its purpose “It is simply to rent a new space that the company’s employees can use after the return to work after the Coronavirus pandemic. The scope of work will not change“However, Nvidia’s official justification does not seem convincing for Warren and Banks. In fact, this last legislator has declared that “no American company should be helping the Chinese communist party to close the gap in artificial intelligence.” It is evident that this is an accusation of full -fledged Nvidia. A very serious accusation that complicates the future plans of the company led by Jensen Huang in China if we are in mind that the manifesto is backed at least by a senator of the Republican party and a senator of the Democratic Party. In addition, this claim comes at a very important moment for Nvidia. The engineers of this company have just concluded The development of a GPU With Blackwell microarchitecture aimed at replacing to the H20 chip whose sale in China has been prohibited by the last sanctions package of the Department of Commerce. The Nvidia Plan is that TSMC starts the manufacture of this GPU expressly intended for the Chinese market in June, but at the current situation it would not be surprising at all that the Department of Commerce prevents its delivery to Chinese clients in Nvidia. We will see what happens finally, but the panorama does not paint anything well for the company led by Jensen Huang.

Heat ends, but storms arrive

by

The heat is being the undisputed protagonist of this week at the weather. However The warm episode He has his days (or his hours) counted in much of the Peninsula: as of today the extreme heat will live with rains and storms: some communities will have to alert for very different phenomena. Variopintos phenomena. Meteorologists foresee that the warm episode that affects the peninsula will fade in the next few days and that at the beginning of next week the instability will be the dominant tonic. The transition will not be simple: during the next few days some areas will see the arrival of rainfall and storms while others Taguada vs. dorsal. Let’s put some context to understand what is happening at the atmospheric level. A few days ago we saw an arrival of an Atlantic anticyclone and an associated dorsal. The dorsal are areas of high pressures that extend from a high pressures center lengthening the scope of anticyclonic time. The stability associated with high pressures, along with other factorscontributed to a high insolation that warmed the air of the peninsula until it brought us to the current situation. However meteorologists They announce now that a trough display in the next few days the dorsal. That is, from a situation we move on to the opposite, with a region of low pressures associated with a storm changing the meteorological panorama. A heat pause. And how this translates: then that instability will take possession of peninsular meteorology. Some areas will begin to see storms today, but it will be from Sunday, with the arrival of the dorsal, which these are generalized. Heat warnings and storm warnings. The peculiar transition between two weeks marked by opposite phenomena will leave A singular notice map of the State Meteorology Agency (Aemet), a map in which yellow and orange warnings coexist due to maximum and storm temperatures (and also yellow notices for rains). In this sense, today it will be the most unique: 14 autonomous communities (all peninsular except Murcia) will see active notices throughout the day. Of these highlight orange notices due to temperatures of up to 40º Celsius in the Sevillian countryside; and orange warnings for storms inside the Cantabrian cornice, from the Asturian southwestern to the inner Bizkaia. In unknown terrain. Spring is a transit station where changes in the atmospheric situation are not entirely strange. However, we can talk about an anomalous season in terms of meteorology: from a drought we spend some of the months with more rainfall than we have record. Now we return to one more panorama in the tonic of recent years: with a summer that is advanced leaving us extreme heat during the last week of May. To know what will happen during the real summer we will still have to wait a few weeks. In Xataka | The reservoirs are almost 22% above the average of the last decade.

If something did not need the Ukraine War it was to enliven the conflict in an occupied nuclear power plant. Russia thinks different

by

The paradox of the largest nuclear power plant in Europe is that it has been closed for three years and everyone wants to “open.” Without going far, the United States was the last nation to hint that it would be delighted to restart her. The problem is that it is in Ukraine, although Taken by Russiaand in the middle of a war whose end does not stick. Moscow knows that he has an energy pressure tool, but some satellite images have revealed much more. The space betrays. The story took this week The New York Times. Through new satellite images analyzed by Greenpeace and verified by the American environment, it has been revealed that Russia is building more than 80 kilometers of electric lines in the south busy of Ukraine with the aim of connecting the Zaporiyia nuclear plant to its own energy network. Covert reopening. This maneuver, until now without Russian official confirmation, represents the clearest signal until the intention of Moscow’s intention to reactivate and exploit the largest central in Europe, forcibly in the first bars of the invasion. Although its six reactors were gradually turned off (the last in 2023) for security reasons and due to nearby fightingRussia seems determined to return it to operationchallenging the warnings of international experts that consider that operating it under these conditions would be a nuclear risk first order. The Russian Plan seeks surround the current damage In the old 750 kilowol lines that connected the central with the Ukrainian network, two of which are going through areas under Kyiv control, and two others that have been useless or deteriorated by the war. Unprecedented use. If specified, this would be the First time in history in that a power at war restarts and uses an occupied nuclear plant for its own energy benefit. Russia, through the state Rosatom, has openly shown Your ambition: its general director He said recently that the dream of reactivating Zaporiyia is still alive and that there is already a technical plan to return the plant to full capacity. The Russian intention does not seem to maintain territorial control of the complex, but to integrate it directly into the national electricity network, possibly and According to the Timesconnecting it with the Russian region of Rostov, which would require even more infrastructure. As we said at the beginning, the United States proposed a peace plan that included the return of the plant to Ukraine under international management (specifically American), In an attempt to avoid its use as a geopolitical tool. Russia He rejected sharply said option. Various risks. No doubt, we don’t talk about simply pressing the “ignition” button. In fact, the possibility of reactivating the central has awakened alarms Among nuclear experts. Since his shot, much of the Ukrainian technical staff has fled, leaving the plant No qualified operators. In addition, the Kajovka dam hole months ago (widely attributed to Russia), it eliminated the main source of water from the reactor refrigeration system and spent fuel, raising thermal and fusion risks in case of a failure. For its part, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine He warned that any Russian unilateral attempt to restart reactors could have unpredictable consequences. To all this is added The possibility of sabotage, military attacks or operational failures in a plant already located in an active combat zone. The consequences of a nuclear escape would not be limited to the region: the impact on the environment, human health and the energy stability of Europe would be unpredictable (and possibly devastating). A high voltage piece. As we have coming countingthe status of the Zaporiyia plant has become a power sheet in the peace negotiations. While Russia progresses (slowly) in her Technical reconnectionThe United States and its allies press to include their status in the terms of any future solution. The satellite images Recent, which reveal transmission lines advancing near the town of Shevchenko and towards a key substation linked to the complex, confirm that Moscow not only wants to retain control, but to turn the plant into a Active source of energy for your network. If you want also, snapshots from space reveal a deeper strategy: to consolidate the economic and energy control of the territories occupied as part of a Possible post -stroke. However, any attempt by Moscow to reactivate the plant without international consensus not only defies the rules of war law, but also brings us an unpublished threshold of nuclear insecurity.

We have been confusing celiachy and gluten intolerance for years. The difference is important but invisible to the naked eye

by

In recent years we have seen that celiacía or celiac disease and gluten intolerances They were visible. Although today society is more familiar with these terms, the fact that the element that unleashes both adverse reactions of our body is the same, gluten, implies possible confusion between one disorder and another. Let’s start with the basics: What is gluten. Gluten is a protein that we can find in the grains of some plants, among which we can highlight wheat, rye or barley. Gluten can even be extracted and used as an additive to give some texture and flavor. However, in the supermarket we will also find products that highlight in its packaging the absence of this protein. The reason is that many people feel adverse reactions to their consumption. These reactions have different origins but similar symptoms, which makes many people not familiar with the differences between these two disorders. Celiacy It is an autoimmune disorder. When celiac people consume buttocks, their immune system is unleashed and damages intestinal villi. These are microscopic projections that are part internal lining of the intestine, fundamental when absorbing nutrients. The damage caused hinders precisely the absorption of nutrients after the autoimmune reaction is unleashed. We do not know of the existence of a cure for this disease and it is little that we know of its origin. We do know that there is a hereditary component: people with celiac relatives are more likely to suffer from this disorder. Among its symptoms, abdominal pain, gases, constipation, apparently inexplicable weight loss, among others, can be found. Gluten intolerance, gluten sensitivity or Non -celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) is also unleashed as a reaction to gluten consumption and presents some similar symptoms to celiac disease. However, in these cases, experts are not clear about the intervention of the immune system because antibodies are not detected in our body’s response to protein consumption. This adverse reaction can also make symptoms arise in our digestive system, including gases, diarrhea or constipation; as well as symptoms of other types such as headache, joint pain or rashes. Little by little we study this type of problem, but there is still little we know about this intolerance. Similarities and differences The fundamental difference between gluten and celiacan intolerance is what makes the latter a more serious disorder, and it is the damage that appears in the intestine and that can affect how our body absorbs our body nutrients. This damage does not occur in intolerant people. He Autoimmune origin It can also be seen as an important difference. Both disorders share some symptoms but it is also important to cut the gluten of diets also leads to a rapid improvement of these symptoms. So how is each condition diagnosed? When we feel that gluten feels bad for us We can submit to some tests that tell us if we have celiacy. A Antibody test You can tell us if our body is generating an autoimmune reaction by processing gluten. We can also make a genetic test that tells us if our genes are related to a propensity to suffering from the disease. Finally, a biopsy can indicate if we present intestinal lesions of celiacism. If the tests do not indicate the probability that we suffer from this disease but our symptoms refer by ceasing to consume gluten, it is likely that the diagnosis is NGCS. “Celiac disease is a disorder of the immune system that damages your small intestine even when you eat a small amount of gluten. Celiachy also runs in the blood,” Explain Alberto Rubio Tapiaof the Cleveland Clinic. “(Non -celiac gluten sensitivity) is a digestive disorder, not an immune system problem. NGCS does not damage your intestine and does not tend to repeat itself in families.” As if this were not enough, there is another disorder that can sometimes lead us to confusion. Celiacía and intolerance should not be confused with food allergiesespecially with the Wheat allergy. Being wheat, an important gluten source, falling into this error can be easy. A not very severe food allergy can cause similar symptoms that could be confused with those of celiac disease or with gluten intolerance. Other symptoms of allergies, such as itching in the eyes or respiratory problems can help us distinguish this third problem. Distinguishing between the three conditions is more important than it seems. The most severe food allergies can put our lives at risk, but celiachy is also related to serious health problems that can occur in the long term. Celiac people tend for example to present a Greater risk of suffering from intestinal cancer, lactose intolerance or type I diabetes.

The great debate about whether iOS is safer than Android, myths and realities of ‘Breaking Bad’ and much more in 1×09 crossover

by

Can anyone manufacture your own drugs How did it happen in ‘Breaking Bad’? To tell us about the myths and realities of that series and many other things, he has accompanied us In this 1×09 crossover A very special guest: Breaking Vlad. This well -known scientific disseminator is also an original content creator because of his way of talking about chemical experiments, and in the interview we have been able to do, he answers striking questions about the radiation of phones or about the future of hydrogen cars. Presented as sowing by Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia, in this episode the collaboration of Xataka serves to reactivate an old and controversial debate: If iOS is safer than Android. Both platforms have been really reliable for a long time, and perhaps the problem, as the interview reveals, is another. It is also necessary to separate that debate from another in which Apple does take advantage of Google. One thing is security – things are balanced – and another very different privacy, where Apple’s business model – which is not focused on advertising – allows the company to give more guarantees. In 1×09 crossover there is also a place to make a fun debate about false news that we have seen these days – a Chromecast with integrated Tinder? -, and as we always expect your comments and ideas to improve in upcoming episodes.

Thousands of ASUS routers have been committed to an intrusion campaign: restart them does not eliminate the threat

by

A new intrusion campaign has put several models of ASUS routers. According to GraynoiseSpecialized in cybersecurity, at least three different devices would be exploited by an actor “highly trained and with sufficient resources.” Sophisticated threats are usually aimed at very specific objectives, but this campaign has a broader pattern. Researchers have already detected about 9,000 committed devices, and ensure that the number continues to increase. It is believed that the foundations could be laying for a future botnet, Key piece for DDOS attacks. Persistent access without malware The attackers get initial access through brute force techniques And the use of evasion strategies that still do not have an identifier Cve. In cybersecurity, a CVE (acronym for common vulnerabilities and exposures) is a standard reference that is used to catalog known vulnerabilities publicly. {“Videid”: “X801AZU”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “How to protect your Android from viruses and malware: tricks and advice”, “tag”: “”, “duration”: “271”} After that first step, cybercriminals take advantage of a specific vulnerability already documented, identified as CVE-2023-39780to execute arbitrary commands and modify the router configuration from within. The objective is not to install a traditional spy virus or software, but something more subtle: open a remote rear door. To do this, they enable SSH access in a specific port (TCP/53282) and insert their own public key into the NVRAM memory, a type of internal storage that It is not erased by restarting the router nor when updating your firmware. In this way, the attacker’s access persists in time, without leaving obvious signs. The researchers have replicated the attack on several specific models, including the ASUS RT-AC3100, RT-AC3200 and RT-AX55. It is not an official list of committed devices, but a clue to which they could be in the spotlight. At the moment, it is not ruled out that there are other models also exposed. Greynoise has not officially attributed the campaign to any specific group. However, he points out that the techniques used (the use of legitimate functions of the system, the deactivation of the activity records and the absence of visible malware) are usual characteristics of Very elaborate attacks and long -term planned. These types of operations are usually linked to the calls APTacronym in English of Advanced Persistant Threat. These are cyber -cyber -acting groups that act with advanced technical means, great discretion and very defined objectives, often related to strategic or governmental interests. The finding occurred the past March 18thanks to SIFTan analysis tool developed by Greynoise. The publication of the details It was intentionally delayed to facilitate coordination with public agencies and companies in the sector before making it public. How to know if your router has been committed Asus has corrected vulnerability CVE-2023-39780 In a recent firmware update. However, if the device was compromised before applying that patch, remote access can remain active. Greynoise offers a series of steps that can help detect whether a router has been affected, although it is true that some of them They can be complex for those who are not familiar with technical concepts or do not handle with ease in the advanced device configuration. Even so, it is convenient to meet them: Access the configuration of your router and verify if the access by SSH is enabled in the TCP/53282 port. Check the file called Authorized_Keyssince it could contain an unauthorized public key. Block these IP addresses, associated with the campaign: 101.99.91.151, 101.99.94.173, 79.141.163.179 and 111.90.146.237. If you suspect that your device is affected, perform a complete factory restoration and configure it manually. In Xataka Openai has just demonstrated that the AI ​​no longer completely obeys: O3 sabote its own shutdown to continue working The scale of the attack and its ability to stay hidden reinforce a key lesson: the safety of domestic routers should not be taken for granted. Although in this case malware has not been installed, the attackers They have left an open door. We have contacted Asus to request comments on this campaign and know if they plan to offer new additional measures or recommendations. This article will be updated if we receive an official response for its part.

No one understands why the former Google CEO has bought a rocket company. He says it: Datacenters in space

by

If the New Space is full of something, it is from Billonario Technological CEOS, but what Eric Schmidt Shopping Relativity Space He caught the sector by surprise. He has offered an explanation. Context. Whatever it was Google CEO for a decade He surprised the space sector two months ago acquiring a majority participation in the Relativity Space rocket company. The Californian startup has never reached orbit, but made a test launch of a 3D printed rocket, Terran 1, and It is developing a partially reusable commercial rocketTerran R. After the acquisition of the company, Eric Schmidt assumed the role of CEO, a position he did not occupy since he left the Mountain View giant in 2011. Data centers in space. Eric Schmidt is obsessed with the amount of energy and computing capacity that will need to move artificial intelligence. It was the journalist Eric Berger, from Ars Technicawho joined the points. The idea of ​​displaying data centers in space, feeding them with solar energy and keeping them cold without using water “probably explain why Schmidt bought relativity space,” Berger commented on X. The next day, Eric Schmidt responded with a monosyllable: “Yeah.” The unprecedented scale of AI. In an appearance before the Energy and Commerce Committee of the United States Congress, Schmidt put some figures on the table: “10 gigaw data centers are being raised, when an average nuclear power plant in the United States generates 1 Gigavatio. One of the estimates that I think is most likely that data centers will require 29 additional energy gigawatts by 2027, and 67 more gigawatts for 2030. These things are industrial to a scale that I have never seen in my life.” The money is in the datacenters. Since no country is prepared for such an energy escalation, Schmidt has in mind to get the databases from the Earth. Although incredibly ambitious and challenging, the hypothetical space data centers could make sense if energy is a bottleneck on earth. With reusable rockets to launch satellite constellations, photovoltaic solar energy always available for part of the constellation and dissipation of heat in the emptiness of the space, they could even be profitable or safer than the Earth Data Centers. But everything is about to demonstrate, from cheap throws to heat dissipation. What state is Relatity Space. The reality is that far from competitors such as Spacex, although it is a much younger company. He had bet in full for 3D printed rockets, but removed Terran 1 after his debut flight, in which he could not reach orbit. Terran R is designed to be a direct competitor of Falcon 9, with the capacity to launch 33.5 tons to the low terrestrial orbit in disposable mode and 23.5 tons with a first reusable stage. Although its development has been erratic, capital injection and leadership of Schmidt, whose fortune is estimated at 20,000 million dollars, could revitalize the project and bring it closer to a first launch planned by the end of 2026.

Believing that the healthy lasts less is changing how we eat (and how much we waste)

by

Today, knowing how much a food really lasts has become almost a mystery. How much does a pepper in the fridge endure? Why does that apple have been in the fruitman for a week and nobody eats it? Have you spoiled or simply believe it? This confusion could be causing something else, an unnecessary increase in food waste. Short. Many foods come with labels such as “consuming preferably before”, “expiration date”, or even “packaged the …”, which has always been interpreted as a deadline for food security. However, According to EFSA (European Food Security Agency), this type of labeling does not mean that food is not safe after that date, but could lose quality, not security. There is a study behind. Between 2018 and 2024, more than 3,500 consumers from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and South Korea participated in an academic study in eight parts, Published in the Journal of Marketing Research. The objective of research was to understand how the perception of “healthy foods” affects their management and consumption. In one of the experiments, scientists asked participants to classify six products (cereals, snack bars, protein bars, yogurt, cookies and fried potatoes) in two categories: those who considered healthier and those who believed they would expire faster. The majority assumed that the food considered “healthier” were the ones who thought they would spoil before. Jeehye Christine Kim, professor at the University of Virginia and co -author of the study, explained it as follows: “This is due to the lack of knowledge about the deterioration of food. Consumers apply what they know about fresh fruits and vegetables to packaged foods, even when it is not logical to do it.” But there is something else. Research has shown that consumers were more likely to throw healthy food as their expiration date approached than to discard less healthy products in the same situation. However, researchers have given him a name: Heuristic Health. An automatic assumption that leads to think that, if a food is healthy, it must also be more perishable. That belief is born from the real experience with fresh fruits and vegetables – which are spoiled quickly – and is erroneously applied to packaged products such as yogurts or bars. To that is added another factor: the fear of making mistakes. As we do not always know how to identify whether a food is still safe or not, and since the labels do not help, we prefer to discard it “just in case.” But that “just in case” has a cost: more wasted food, many times without need. A search to waste less. Researchers suggest that one of the keys to solve this problem is on labeling. As explained by Brent McFerran, professor at Simon Fraser University and Co -author of the study, to The Wall Street Journalboth the food industry and governments must act, since “many perfectly healthy and safe foods for consumption usually throw themselves in the trash due to ignorance of how long they can be consumed without danger.” For its part, EFSA promotes information campaigns so that consumers learn the difference between expiration labels and preferred consumption, and drives manufacturers to improve the clarity of their containers. Beyond choosing healthy. Eating healthy should not mean throwing more food. But while confusion persists on what a date printed in a container really means, thousands of perfectly edible products will continue to end in the trash every day. Understanding what the labels mean, demanding clarity and rethinking our perceptions can have a real impact, not only on our health, but also on the planet. Because choosing healthy should also include taking care of what is not wasted.
