There was a war in Europe for giving the second -hand digital market and we already have a clear winner: Vinned

by

Percentile, the Spanish startup, of resale of fashion items, has been for two months In a bankruptcy processin search of a lifeguard. Wallapop continues to compete in that market, but without clear leadership in it. And Vinned, meanwhile, sweeps. The resale sector in Spain and in Europe is in a change of cycle. The panoramic. The second -hand clothing is a hypercompetitive market, and Vinted not only survives in it: it is dominating it. It has managed to grow where others are going back or searched for a place where they settle without finding it. To achieve this, Vinned has diversified its catalog and has also done something not so common: to earn money with its activity. The context. Percentile was a pioneer. It was founded in 2012, thirteen years old, and operated in four countries, with almost a million customers and more than a dozen millions of garments sold. However, and despite the heavyweights of the risk capital they invested in it (François Derbaix or Cabiedes & Partners between them), has not resisted the price war of the Fast Fashion. Not even the increase in the second -hand clothing market, increasingly popular and widespread, has been able to compensate for that pressure. And now look for a buyer to avoid disappearance. Between the lines. The Percentile model contributed a lot of comfort to the user, because he did everything for him: collection, classification and sale. But it was more comfortable than profitable. He only accepted half of the garments and offered rather low margins. Now its founders They speak to focus on “higher quality brands”, but maybe it’s too late. In figures. Meanwhile, Vinned in 2024 … It has tripled its benefit before taxes: 95.4 million euros. 813.4 million euros in revenue, 36% more than in 2023. He managed to reach 23 markets … … already the 2,200 employees. It is valued in 5,000 million euros. In detail. A part of his secret is in the invisible: Vinted Go and Vinted Payits own logistics and payments units. Also Vinned Ventures, his investment arm. Vinned’s ultimate goal is not just selling clothes. That is just a part. The idea is to build a complete ecosystem around the resale. Yes, but. Wallapop competes and has millions of users, true. But his generalist approach has not allowed him to emerge in the resale of clothing. It is too broad to compete in a concrete niche, as Vinted does. It has a very large catalog, but its brand is not associated with the style, and that weighs in an environment (sell used clothes) in which trust is key. In addition, Vind has many filters to locate garments (size of any part of the body, color, etc.) of which Wallapop lacks. The alarm signal. As a percentile slid, the sector grows, so the problem does not come from a lower demand. The threat is in the Low Cost from Zara, Shein and company, which have changed the rules. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy new than second hand. Only platforms with a lot of scale, focus and efficiency can survive and be profitable. Percentile is staying the way to see if a new owner can correct his course, and Wallapop resists, but Follow in losses. Who wins is Vind. And now what. Vinned wants more: he has long opened his doors beyond clothes, and now he is going something beyond electronics or luxury. Although it runs the risk of opening so much that Wallapop’s problems to lead in fashion move to it. Predictably, “circular fashion” will continue to grow and European regulations will add pressure to the conventional textile industry. In Xataka | I am a seller with five stars in Wallapop.

The US president has just launched a clear notice to Apple

by

Apple is still looking for how to reduce its dependence on China. In a recent conversation with investorsTim Cook confirmed that most iPhone that will be sold in the United States in the coming months will be manufactured in India. Is another step in the diversification process that the company has started silentlybut already gives results: Half of its iPhone for the US market already leave factories in the country led by Narendra Modi. But the strategy has not been well received on all fronts. During a public intervention in Qatar, within the framework of his Middle East tour, the US president said he had “a small problem with Tim Cook”. His words, Video registered and available on YouTubeThey showed a clear discomfort with the direction that Apple has taken. According to his own testimony, I would have told the company’s CEO: “You will invest 500,000 million, but now I find out that you are building throughout India. I don’t want you to build in India.” The president went further at his presentation. He said that, after years of accepting that Apple built factories in China, now the expectation is that this production is transferred to American soil. “We want you to build here. We are not interested that you continue expanding in India, ”he said in a direct tone that he can mark a new stage in the relationship between the new administration and the Cupertino company, which, by the way, It is one of the largest in the world for stock market. What is not clear, at least for now, is whether this gesture will have an impact on Apple’s industrial diversification strategy. The company continues to produce most of its iPhone in China, and currently does not manufacture smartphones in the United States. According to the analyst Dan Iives, of Wedbush Securities, moving all the production to Apple’s country would be prohibitive for both the company and consumers. In other statements collected by The GuardianEvercore experts also pointed out that the US economy “is not prepared” to mount a mobile production chain: neither has the infrastructure nor has it or has The necessary specialized labor. The commercial board moves (again) In parallel to the tension between Apple and the Executive, the international commercial environment has been altered by the reciprocal tariff regime announced by the US administration on April 2. That frame imposed new levies to imports from several countries, and It came to place tariffs on Chinese products by 145%. However, that regime is currently suspended. After an advance in negotiations between Washington and Beijing, Both governments agreed a 90 -day break in additional tariffs. During that time, a 30 % base rate On imports from China, even superior to that applied to other countries such as India or Vietnam, which pay 10 % under the same pause. Will this relieve the pressure that pushes many multinationals to accelerate the transfer of their supply chains outside of China? Commercial thaw opens a window of opportunity, but also adds uncertainty. Will technological technological ones continue, or will they wait to see how an increasingly volatile scenario evolves? Apple, in particular, must carefully measure your next steps.

Saudi Arabia wants to become a new power in data centers. Nothing is clear that I can do it

by

Donald Trump has made a unique tour of several countries in the Middle East, and among the agreements that are considered surprising: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar want to invest billions of dollars in the construction of data centers for ia. The question is whether they will do so. Chips for strategic alliances. The Biden administration had largely limited the number of advanced chips from which these countries could access, but Trump’s mandate is changing things. As they point out in The New York Times, AI chips seem now to be a useful argument to strengthen relations with countries with this Trump newspaper “has deep financial ties and business. “Qatar already plans donate a Boeing 747-8 which could end up being used as the new Air Force One. Saudi Arabia on the one hand. Nvidia and AMD have reached an agreement to sell their professional GPUS to Humain. This newly created company – it belongs to the country’s public investment fund – It has the objective to create a large data center in Saudi Arabia. The agreement with AMD raises An investment of 10,000 million dollars in infrastructure in the next five years. Humain will supervise the development of these data centers, while AMD will provide chips and software. Arab Emirates attached to the other. As indicated In Bloombergthe Trump administration is considering reaching an agreement that would allow United Arab Emirates to import a million Nvidia chips. Eau could thus buy 500,000 of those chips per year until 2027. A fifth would be reserved for the G42 firm of Abu Dhabi. Saudi data centers. Nvidia, meanwhile, will sell 18,000 Your GB300 chips To Saudi Arabia. This was announced by Jensen Huang on Tuesday, which will contribute clearly to the Humain projects, which propose with data centers with a joint “1.9 GW” power “in 2030. Those 18,000 chips will apparently be part of the” hundreds of thousands “of which the Saudi project will be nourished. Possible “resale” to China? The United States restricted the sale of advanced chips from AI to China in 2022, and there are those who fear that countries in the Middle East end up serving as intermediaries so that the chips that the US allows you to sell there ends where they should not. G42 theoretically cut ties with Huawei to reach an agreement of 1.5 billion dollars with Microsoft, but the suspicions about the situation persist. Saudi Arabia and its megaprojects. As points The analyst Ed Zitron, countries of the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia have been talking about all kinds of megaprojects for years, but one thing is their promises and another realities. It occurs with the Jeddah Tower, MUKAABhis Pharaonic airport And of course The Line and his futuristic city, Neom. All these projects still have a long way to go, and this new Saudi ambition, although more “contained” in terms of dimensions, is equally complex for a country without experience in this area. There is energy … Countries like Saudi Arabia have abundant energy resources and in fact there are A strong investment in solar energy. Its application to provide power to those data centers, yes, it is not so easy, as they are discovering In the United States. … but no (much) water. The problem is that these data centers dissipate a lot of heat and the desert environment is not exactly the idea for this type of facilities. Extraordinary cooling solutions are needed and the country has scarce water resources. Desalination plants are A pillar of its strategic plan, and innovations may also go into play in the field of refrigeration such as closed circuit systems or Direct liquid cooling.

Toyota is very clear about how sports have to be and why they don’t believe in an electric one

by

Is it possible to jump into the electric car when your CEO does not finish believing in it? This is what they should ask in Toyota’s bosom, with the company looking for the right strategy to be competitive in the electric car while their mandamás does not stop launching slogans that point to immobility. For a long time, the company has been launching contradictory messages on the future of the electric car. In 2021the Japanese company assured that would launch 30 electric models In the coming years. However, the arrival of TOYOTA BZ4X It has been marked by problems. First because it was a car too expensive for the autonomy offered. Then because The wheels could fall In an emergency braking. From then on, the statements of the company’s managers and ads seem to go in opposite directions. Aky Time will prove them and that the demand for electric will never exceed a third of sales Total worldwide. It is true that the company has redefined its plans and that will produce a third less of expected electric cars. But it has also presented a new generation of batteries and has confirmed that it will continue to pushing to jump into the electric car where regulations push them to it. That is: Europe. Among the last releaseswe will have a totally electric Toyota C-HR, a new lexus and a small Yaris Cross with the same technology. Be that as it is, the truth is that Hybrid has continued to give excellent results To the company. Their sales fired in the United States last year, remain very fortunate in Europe and in Japan it seems that they do not even consider the change to this technology. Toyota last year recorded the best numbers in its history. And in the middle of this strategy to continue increasing the offer of electric cars, a product that seems to divide the company: a sports car. “Noise and smell of gasoline” A few months ago, at the end of 2024, we knew that Toyota was developing a sports car completely electric. There was even talk that he could recover a mythical name for the company: MR2 or Celica. It would not be the first time that Toyota looked up at the past to look to her future. That they tell the Toyota supra. Since then, the Rumors They have been unleashed and as on so many other occasions the true sportsmanship of such a model has been questioned. Move the sensations of combustion engines to electric models is being a real headache and brands such as Mazda have also presented their doubts Given this possibility. The problem for Toyota is double. The company has spent many years being bored branded. Akio Toyoda, at the head of the company, wanted to completely turn this speech. To the point that we have seen almost unique cars in the market like the Toyota gr yaristhe Toyota Gr86 or the supra. And now, with an electric sports car on the way, we also know that the company looks for solutions to Continue offering combustion engines. To the point of trying Inject hydrogen. Toyoda seems to live its own crusade for saving this type of vehicles. “There will always be people in Toyota passionate about the development of electrical sports. But for me, as an expert pilot, my sports definition is something with the smell of gasoline and a noisy engine.” The words are from Akio Toyoda in a recent interview of Automotive News. It has made clear one thing: they will not offer an electric sports car as long as it is not economically viable. And it won’t be until they get “affordable batteries”. The reason, for Toyoda, is that a competition electric car “is not exciting. Because you cannot turn the circuit around for more than an hour. The races in which I participate are mainly resistance, so with current electric vehicles, it will not be a car race. It is a cargo time race, battery change or something like that,” he stressed. When will we see a Toyota electric sports car? The group’s CEO seems to have cooled expectations. In the last Brussels Motor Show, our companions of Motorpasion They had the opportunity to talk to Hideaki Iida, prototype designer Toyota ft-sebut he already warned that the car was in a very early phase of development. However, in 2023 Toyota did talk about offering solid state batteries on the market that would yield 1,000 kilometers and went from 10 to 80% of autonomy in 10 minutes. This is what they called batteries High Performance and? They dated between 2027 and 2028 although they warned that they would put themselves in the street only in cars of very high benefits because they were very expensive to produce.

Apple has a very clear option not to be left behind in AI: Buy Anthropic

by

The recent association between Apple and Anthropic to develop a platform of “Vibe-Coding“, as he said Bloomberg, It could be much more than a simple technological collaboration. It is the first act of what should become a much deeper union: a complete acquisition. Apple is at a historic crossroads in the AI ​​race. Your association with Anthropic to integrate Claude Sonnet In Xcode it is an implicit admission that its internal development of AI does not advance with the necessary speed. Swift Assist, announced but never releasedIt remained as a symbol of Apple’s difficulties to compete in this field alone. While OpenAi, Google and Anthropic advance by leaps and bounds, Apple runs the risk of being relegated in the largest technological revolution since the smartphone. And that risk is growing. The acquisition of Anthropic would be a tectonic movement for both companies. For Apple, it would mean ensuring one of the most sophisticated language models in the market, particularly highlighted in programming tasks. For Anthropic, he would represent the support of one of the technological giants with the greatest financial capacity and global distribution. The combination of Excellence in Apple hardware and integration with the avant -garde in Anthropic (whose product quality is far ahead of its distribution capacity) would create a difficult synergy to match. Historically, Apple has prospered when you have acquired key technologies at key momentsintegrating them deeply into their ecosystem. The purchase of PA SEMI in 2008 laid the foundations for Apple Silicon chips. The Beats acquisition It was not only for the headphones, but by the streaming technology that would become Apple Music. Now, AI represents another turning point, where staying halfway between their own developments and external alliances would lead to a permanent disadvantage position. The price of acquiring Anthropic would be great, probably in the range of tens of billions, a magnitude in which Apple has never moved, used to much smaller purchases. But he has not done so does not mean that he cannot do it: he has more than 150,000 million in cash and would be a key strategic investment. It is not only a matter of acquiring technology, but of ensuring the future of its entire platform. While Tim Cook speaks of a hybrid approach with “certain own models”, the truth is that the real power will be in those who possess the best fundamental models. For Apple, Anthropic should not be only a temporary partner, but a permanent piece of his vision for the future of computer science.

After announcing his withdrawal, Warren Buffet is clear about what to do with his immense inheritance

by

In a little less than five months Warren Buffetthe “Oracle of Omaha” will fulfill nine and a half decades of life. The years nevertheless have kept their acuity, interest and especially their ability to amaze intact. He has demonstrated this weekend, when after the massive share of shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway and for pasmo from his team (including who his successor will be) advertisement His intention to leave the position of CEO of the holding company At the end of the year. The position will pass to the current vice president, Greg Abel. Warren Buffet did not mention his other responsibility, that of President of the Council, which A priori will happen to his son Howard; But the announcement recalls one of the maxims shared by the famous Omaha investor: his rejection of the long “dynasties”. So much is in fact that, beyond the Berkshire Shareholders Board, Buffett has already left it All tied so that the enormous fortune that adds its actions in Berkshire is destined for philanthropic work. “The time has come”. Throughout his extensive and brilliant career as a investor, Warren Buffet has done more than earning billions of dollars and becoming the fifth largest fortune on the planet, according to The list Forbes. It has also become a respected voice. And feared. It was clear on Saturday during the massive share of shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway held in Omaha (Nebraska) with the assistance of thousands of people. There, in addition to talking about the accounts of the holding companyconfirm your Huge volume of liquid In full stock storm and launch some other Indirect with political reading, buffet gave the big surprise, “the news of the day”, in His own words: The veteran investor advertisement His desire to leave the position of executive director of Berkshire Hathaway. He will do it at the end of this year, when he passes the reins of the current vice president, Greg Abel (62), whom Buffett chose as his successor four years agobut that Saturday was not aware of the last plans of the businessman. In fact Buffett had only shared them with his children. Click on the image to go to Tweet. What exactly will it do? “The time has come for Greg to become the CEO of the company at the end of the year and I want to communicate it to the directors and give that recommendation,” Buffett explained. In his announcement he referred exclusively to the position of CEO, not that of President of the Council, responsibility that he also holds. According to revealed in January The Wall Street Journalthe succession plan goes through his son Howie Buffett (70 years) who assumes the role of non -executive president of Berkshire Hathaway. Your mission will be to maintain the corporate culture of the holding company. Even if the reveo to Greg Abel is going to spend, Buffett explained that he does not have “No intention” To sell his participations from Berkshire Hathaway, he will remain as a shareholder and assured that he will continue “around there”, although he guaranteed that the responsibility of the CEO will fall on his successor. “I think Berkshire’s perspectives will be better under the direction of Greg than under mine.” The Holding CEO will have the challenge of taking over from a legendary figure of finance that Berkshire Hathayway turned into a giant investor with a market capitalization that has grown in a form practically constant From the 90s and it is one of the great US companies, just behind the “Big Tech.” The future of his fortune. It is not the first time that Warren Buffett clears what will be the future of his legacy. In November 2024 The investor published A letter aimed at the shareholders in which he already gave some clues about what he planned to do with his fortune, which was then valued in 149.7 billion of dollars and Forbes places now in around 168,200. His desire happens because much of that wealth is destined for philanthropic causes, a commitment assumed by buffet himself in 2006. In the Charter he shared in fact his decision to convert 1,600 of his class A actions into 2.4 million class B shares, with less right to vote, to distribute them among family foundations. Most of them was dedicated to Susan Thompson Buffetta beneficial organization created in 1964 and is named after Buffett’s first woman. A 56% cut in eight years. “The donations I make today reduce my class A actions from Berkshire to 206,363, 56.6% less than in 2006,” he detailed in Your letter At the end of 2024, in which another key fact owes: at his death, his children will be responsible for “gradually distributing” all their participations in the holding, which they represented at that time around 99.5% of their entire heritage. The tycoon therefore leaves his children the task of distributing everything possible to beneficial causes. In case it does not give them time in life (he is between 67 and 71 years old), the mission will go to three anonymous trusts that would replace them. “I have never wanted a dynasty”. Buffett’s letter is interesting for something else: in it the investor shares reflections on the future, legacy and family. And it is pronounced redhead against long business lineages. “I have never wanted to create a dynasty or pursue any plan that extended beyond the children. I know all three well and fully trust them. Future generations are another issue,” reveals. “Who can foresee the priorities, intelligence and fidelity of successive generations to deal with the distribution of extraordinary wealth in the midst of what can be a very different philanthropic panorama? Even so, the enormous wealth that I have gathered can take longer to deploy than what my children live. And it is likely that the decisions of the tomorrow take better three brains buffet trench Before announcing the designation of three successor trusts, younger than their children, who arrived at the time would be … Read more

We are increasingly clear that our microbiome is key to our health. Our protein sources can also alter it

by

Little by little We started realizing Of the importance of our microbiota, especially as regards the microorganisms that inhabit our digestive system, our gastrointestinal microbioma. Aspects of our health that in principle They would not seem connected To what happens in our intestines seem to have some kind of correlation with that flora of fungi and bacteria that coexists inside us. Different proteins, different microbiome. A recent study has observed That the food source of protein can alter the composition and structure of our intestinal microbiome, that is, of the set of microorganisms that inhabits our digestive system. The experiment, conducted with mice, observed important variations in the microbiota associated with changes in the diet. “The composition of gastric microbiome changed significantly every time we change the protein source,” pointed in a press release Alfredo Blakeley-Ruiz, co-author of the study. “Protein sources with the greatest functional effects were integral rice, yeast and egg whites.” A variety of sources. Proteins are a key nutrient that gives us essential amino acids with which our body is able to synthesize its own proteins. Foods of animal origin such as meats, fish or eggs are usually seen as the main source of amino acids, but they are not the only one. The existence of alternatives implies the possibility of diverse effects on our health and well -being. Through, for example, of the microbiome. Metabolizing amino acids. The team resorted to its study to the use of high -resolution mass spectrometry and the combination of metagenomic and metaproteinomic. Everything to find how the intestinal microbiome of mice whose diet was altered so that each week they received their single source proteins that was changed after seven days .. They observed that some of these sources were associated with important changes. These changes, Explain the teamthey manifested in how the mice metabolized the amino acids, but also in the way in which their digestive system degraded complex sugars, something that was not so intuitive. Diets such as those based on the integral rice and the clearing of the eggs, continue to explain the equipment, increased the degradation of the amino acids, which would imply that the microorganisms of the digestive system of the mice were breaking the proteins to obtain their own amino acids. The details of the study were published recently In an article in The Isme Journal. An environment (too much?) Controlled. The team responsible for the study admitted That there are some limitations to consider, and one of them is the complexity of the diet. In a laboratory environment, the team altered the diet of the mice radically (causing them to have a single source of protein). Beyond the fact that studies with animal models are not always transposed identically in humans, it is expected that forceful changes in the diet of these animals entail important changes in the structure of their microbiome. A more varied diet, with diverse sources of proteins, would logically imply more dim effects.

The world seemed not to be prepared for the end of cash. The digital euro makes it clear that yes

by

The unknown about Why datáphones worked in full blackout He brought another question: if the end of effective money made sense or not. Without operating offline TPVs, the cash It was the only form of payment. But not having a connection and having an alternative payment method does not evide on digital alternatives. This is something that Europe was raised with the digital euro more than two years ago The digital euro. After years of study, the European Commission approved in 2023 the First legal framework For him Digital euro. As its name indicates, this will be the digital version of our currency. It is born as an alternative and not as a replacement, at least with the information currently available. The ECB has everything thought. The European Central Bank detailed in that first framework that the digital euro would operate offline to guarantee privacy. The technical details have not yet transcended, since this is a development currency, but the transactions without connection will be one of its bases. Both cards and smartphones will temporarily store the funds, synchronizing with the central system when recovering the connection. A blackout that has not demonstrated so much. Although the blackout left on the table that without TPV there is no way to pay that is not cash, it has failed to show the need for physical money to respond to the need for payment. If the digital euro manages to operate offline, it will be possible to make transactions even in scenarios such as the one lived this week. The methodology. Without too much technical depth, the ECB advanced that short -range technologies (Bluetooth, NFC, etc.) are used to make connections between devices, imposing certain limits for transactions in order to mitigate fraud risks. “The Eurosystem has no interest in collecting data from individual user payments, or in monitoring payment behavior or sharing of those data with government agencies or other public institutions.” While the ECB stated that privacy will be one of the pillars of the digital euro, with a certain degree of anonymization (intermediaries will not be able to access concrete details about transactions), Spain, a ticket country. In countries like GermanySurveys collect that half of the population is not willing to use the digital euro. If we focus on Spain, a study by the IPSOS agency evidenced that 65% of respondents were comfortable with current payment methods and would not use this alternative. Payments are still linked to the private, especially in Spain. According to data from the Bank of Spain 65% of the population used cash in 2023, being the main payment method for purchase in physical stores. Europe wants to have the digital euro ready in the short term (two years ago there was already talk of 2025 and 2026). You won’t have it easy.

A crossover with sharp lines, high connectivity and a clear nod to the new generations

by

The immediate future of omoda goes through radical forms. In Wuhu, China, the Chery group brand has revealed The new omoda 3, a crossover compact that adds to your global offensive. It will arrive from October 2025. We have been there to know it in person: a model that, even without a confirmed price for Spain, could be placed in a fork between 23,000 and 27,000 euros – although this is, for the moment, pure speculation. Omoda 3 technical sheet Omoda 3 Body type Five seat SUV-B Measures and weight Not specified (about 4.4 meters long) TRUNK not specified Maximum power not specified WLTP consumption not specified Environmental Distinctive Not specified, but there will be electrical and plug -in versions, so “0 emissions” is expected Driving aids (ADAS) Mandatory Adas Aid by the European Union. OTHERS Own software compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Compatible with Nintendo Switch. Interior design inspired by a spacecraft. Electric hybrid Yes, planned (there will also be 100% electric and combustion versions) Plug -in hybrid Yes, planned electric Yes, planned price and launch To confirm, as of October 2025 (global launch) A lot of information has not yet been revealed, we understand that for the remaining months until its commercialization and for the possible regional variants that are to be defined. Design that everyone does not seek to like, but to make a difference Image: omoda. With about 4.4 meters long (exact figure to be confirmed but places it in segment C, although the first impression is b), omoda 3 is strategically located below the Omoda 5and share with him the Modular T1x platform. However, its stylistic proposal is not limited to a simple lower step: it is a declaration of intent. Sharp lines, a front that reminds more of a Concept Car than a production SUVand a treatment of optics – stakes, torn, aggressive – that seeks to leave visual mark. Image: omoda. The comparison that many made in the run around him is not accidental: his grill and design language evoke models of much higher rank such as the ELECTRE LOTUS or even the Lamborghini Urus. A risky bet, yes, but consistent at the same time, because omoda 3 does not want to like everyone. He wants to seduce those looking for something different in a saturated market of clones. Its interior, baptized as “Starship Cockpit”, follows the same futuristic philosophy. In the center, a large format vertical screen acts as a connectivity center: compatible with Nintendo Switchwith inspiration graphics SCI-FI and configurable atmosphere, including even a “spaceship” sound mode. Of course, we couldn’t see it live, only in the video: the model was cordoned off. Angular, provocative, generational Image: omoda. In the most equipped versions, the details reach an unusual theater in their category: The boot button is hidden under a red -style red lidit has environmental in abundance and seats, cutting Gaming, They have been baptized as “Starship Commander.” Everything wants to be space here. Modularity will be another asset. Although omoda still is silent on the engines, we know that 3 will have 100% electric versions, plug -in hybrids and traditional combustion. Flexibility is total, but the emphasis will be in technological experience, radical design and a customization package that we had not yet seen in omoda: “Racing Packs”, official vinyl and a range of accessories Customize each unit. Beyond its aggressive design and futuristic winks, omoda 3 also wants to be an emotional extension of those who drive it. The brand does not speak only of benefits or style, but – continuously – to build a genuine connection with a generation that not only buys cars, but also identity symbols. In that aspiration, omoda 3 is not sold as a vehicle: it is presented as a kind of vital ally, a piece of a lifestyle that transcends displacement. Indeed: ways of living. The movement is not improvised. Chery knows that, To compete outside China, it is not enough to offer a price. You have to conquer imaginary. And omoda 3, with its video game aesthetics and its promise of differentiation, is launched just for that generation for which to conduct is also a statement of identity. It will not be a car for everyone. But neither does it pretend. And in that – in a world of increasingly interchangeable products – it may be precisely its great opportunity. Of course, you will have to see the price that hangs from your label.

France has put the soy in the spotlight. Science is not so clear that it is a good idea

by

Soy has become one more element in our kitchens. Soja drinks, for example, are no longer a simple substitute for milk used by vegan people, but as one more drink. However, soy has also aroused the suspicions of some, generally focused around one of its components. Now those who have just paid their food in this food have been the French health authorities. Advise against. A few weeks ago, ANSES, the National Agency for Health Security of Food, the Environment and French work, issued a recommendation in which soybean products were advised in collective restoration. The motive wielded is in the isoflavones, but Not everyone is convinced in which it has been a good idea. Soy and isoflavonas. The Isoflavonas They are estrogen -like substances (hormones linked mainly to female reproduction) that are produced by some plants. Among the plants that produce these compounds are soybeans, and also to a lesser extent in other legumes and vegetables. The impacts on the human health of these compounds have generated interest in the community, scientific, not only for the risks that could entail but also for potential benefits. Since these compounds can be “coupled” to our hormonal receptors, the possible risks associated with the consumption of these phytoestrogens usually associate with their impact on our hormonal system, especially in that of children and adolescents, even in the growth stage. Avoid excessive consumption. According to details Radio France Internationalthe new measure is focused on avoiding excessive consumption, through the recommendation to eliminate soy products from collective restoration. This includes from nurseries to elderly residences, as well as other teaching centers and the canteens of companies. The new guide of the French agency establishes toxicological reference values ​​(TRV) by ingestion that try to delimit the safe consumption of these compounds (those that are below the value), of which they could begin to suppose a risk. According to the agency, these values ​​would be 0.02 mg per kg of body mass and day in the general population, and 0.01 mg/kg of body mass and day in pregnant women and children. Doubts. The measure has generated some skepticism. As It is explained from Sincthe new limits are based on studies conducted with animal models. While this type of studies represent a fundamental pillar when studying the impact of some substances, extrapolating its results to humans is not always simple. There are at least three factors that could alter these results continue to explain the article. The first, metabolic: mice metabilize these compounds less efficiently, which causes them to accumulate more easily in their body. Secondly, because some of the studies would have been using high doses that would not correspond to those we absorb when we consume isoflavones orally. Finally, the intestinal microbiota could also play a fundamental role in our absorption of these compounds. And in this sense, the gastrointestinal microbioma of humans and mice differs too much to be able to perform reliable extrapolations. And in humans? As they detail from Sinchumans do not yield especially alarming results. Rather on the contrary. These studies, including A technical review published in 2022 In the magazine Critical Reviews in Food Science and NutritionThey tend to point out that endocrine disruption tests associated with soybean consumption or its isoflavones are not detected. Controlling food concentration. Although the recommendations to collective restoration have focused the debate of the new French recommendations, these also pay attention to soy producers and food manufacturers. Not all soy varieties and not all products of this legume contain comparable isoflavone concentrations. That is why It is recommended To these sectors choose plant varieties, agronomic techniques and elaboration processes that minimize the presence of these compounds.
