increasingly

In search of a audience, RTVE is increasingly similar to Telecinco. The consequences are controversial like Melody’s

by

He Melody’s prick in Eurovision It is generating an unexpected shock wave. The last last place in the Latest edition of the controversial festival He has not caused the diva to adopt the usual low profile in these times, waiting for the chaparrón to pass (or not: who heard again about Morpheus’s dream after his penultimate in 2013?), But we have seen her return at a press conference with attacks on some RTVE partners and public television itself. Derogatory comments. Yesterday afternoon, Melody appeared in Study 6 of Prado del Rey before a hundred journalists. It was an expected return because it was the first official statements of the interpreter of ‘ESA Diva’ after set up to the revolt Already other RTVE programs with which he had commitments after Eurovision. “It hurt that some companions of some chains, and of the same chain, have made a little derogatory comments towards my person and my performance,” he said. Among the most commented on networks of this appearance has been The conflict with RTVEhis Positioning with the conflict in Israel or the Message between lines to sonsoles onega. Broncano in the spotlight. With that comment he referred especially to David Broncano’s program, who saw CANCELADA Melody’s visit at the last minute and had to react with an emergency guest. “Above all is mental health, and there has been some television program in which they have laughed that I went home to see my family and my son and need time, and it doesn’t seem good to me,” he said. He also commented that there have been comments on “other programs of RTVE itself. They have been subliminal messages dedicated to my person who did not stick. I do not speak of anyone’s salary and I do not want to talk about mine.” The inevitable Israel. The great presence of this year in Eurovision has been that of Israel, both for the result of popular votes as for the abundant voices that ask for the withdrawal of the country from the contest while continuing the conflict in Gaza. Israel also brought the most tense moment of the press conference, when the press asked Melody to position themselves, after he did This year’s own winner. Melody replied that he would not pronounce because “once I did the Benidorm Fest, I am required by contract not to make political comments.” RTVE Demiente. RTVE has rushed to Defer that point on social networksensuring that “at no time has any representative of Spain in Eurovision be prohibited in Eurovision to make political comments. It is the rules of the UER that establish that the songs, and only the songs should not include political content.” Remember that Israel’s own participation is on the table in the European Broadcasting Union for next editions. They looked for him. For a few months, it could be said that RTVE is facing a series of controversial decisions that are generating conflicts even within the entity and that they move it away from the traditional image of public television, traditionally more moderate and oriented to the public service. Historically, there were objectives on public television (impartiality, public service, absence of advertising) that contrasted with those that could be seen in private (search for audience, spectacularization and conflict). The two borders, however, are blurring. The audience above all. On the one hand, the search for audiences has led to the signing of stars that in some cases are giving good results (‘the revolt’, although far from defeating the unbeatable ‘El Hormiguero’) and in others not so much (‘The family of TV’, which Does not find its space in the afternoons). Significantly, in both cases the programs are supported by the conflict, with Pablo Motos in the first case, which has led to some hostilities rarely seen in that strip; And with the DNA of ‘Save Me’, controversial and missed by definition, in the second. Closer to private TV. Melody’s anger, then, is the result of this reorientation towards proposals more typical of private television. It is detected, for example, in all the treatment that TVE is giving the controversy, managed and fed from the same chain: the press conference -especially tense with the presence of María Eizaguirre, communication director of RTVE-, ‘La Revuelta’ and, of course, ‘The family of TV’. A strategy similar to when ‘Save Me’ commented on the programs of The Telecinco de Vasilecreating a kind of self -sufficient world that feedback itself. All this has given rise to an evolution of RTVE that has caught the attention of Critical means with management of the current president of RTVE, José Pablo López. A manager accustomed to controversy and accused of politicizing the platform And that has motivated that at the moment the question about the table is: do these contents attract new audience or erode confidence in the chain?

Eating fermented col can seem an unpleasant idea. Science is increasingly clear that it is excellent for your diet

by

The Germans call it Sauerkraut and the French Choucroutea term that usually is castelling as sauerkraut. It is a fermented col, a typical preparation in various European countries where it is used as accompaniment in dishes of different kinds. A beneficial preparation. We have been indicated that this traditional preparation could contribute important benefits to our health. Now, a new study by two researchers from the University of California, Davis has found new tests that Chucrut can help our health through digestion. According to the study, the fermented col can help maintain the integrity of our intestinal cells. Good news is that this beneficial effect occurred both with the Homemade Chucrut as with which we buy already prepared. “It doesn’t matter, in a way, if we do Sauerkraut at home or if we buy it in the store; both types of Sauerkraut They seem to protect the intestinal function, ”Maria Marco, co -author of the study, explained in a press release. Three elements. The team compared three elements related to the chucrut and its fermentation process: the “raw” vegetable, the brine extracted from the fermented product, and product itself, the Sauerkraut. Team efforts They focused on the study of metabolites present in this food. Metabolites are compounds that occur when biologically decomposing food and its compounds. When passing through a fermentation process, the chemical changes that occur in a food can be important, hence its flavor and aroma, but also its nutritional value. Nutritional changes. The chemical analysis by the team showed changes in the nutritional profile of the Col after fermentation. They found beneficial metabolites, including lactic acid and amino acids, but also observed a lower carbohydrate contribution. Some of the metabolites found were identical to those generated by the intestinal mcirobioma. The changes found, the team stands out, could explain the digestive benefits often attributed to fermented products. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Applied and Environmental Microbiology. More than probiotics. The study conducted in the laboratory is one more indication in favor of the idea that fermented colm is a healthy food that we can include in the context of a balanced and varied diet. Fermented foods are not just a contribution of nutrients metabolized by the microorganisms responsible for fermentation, they can also contribute to us as Probiotics beneficial bacteria that perform similar processes in our digestive system.

Your participations are increasingly problematic and there is no good solution

by

It may be The voting systemit may be the opposition of some rebel televisions, but what is indisputable is that Eurovision has a problem with Israel. A hot potato that generates controversy and division between fans and is the main reason that this year, a couple of days after the celebration of the contest, we have stopped talking about music. However, the history of Israel and Eurovision goes back far back in time. Why does Israel participate in Eurovision? Israel is not a European country and yet Participate in full in the contest. This is due to the fact that it belongs since 1957 to the European Broadcasting Union (URU), the organization that produces and regulates the festival, an international corporation of broadcasting of ownership and public service, but without linking to the European Union. Countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Australia participate under the same conditions. A long history. Israel debuted in the contest in 1973, being the first non -European country to do so. Since then, he has competed more than fifty. They have won in four: 1978: Izhar Cohen & The Alphabeta with ‘A-Ba-Ni-Bi’ (157 points). 1979: Gali Atari & Milk and Honey with ‘Hallelujah’ (125 points). 1998: Dana International with ‘Diva’ (174 points). 2018: Netta with “Toy” (529 points: 212 of the jury and 317 of the Televoto). Thanks to this they have had the opportunity to celebrate the contest three times, in Jerusalem (1979 and 1999) and Tel Aviv (2019). They resigned to do so in 1980, for coinciding the festival with the day of the memory of the Jewish holocaust. His career is especially remarkablereaching Top 10 on twenty occasions. Comparisons with Russia. Israel’s presence in Eurovision has been criticized since 2023, when The war started in the Gaza Strip. The first thing that was accused of Eurovision was of a certain hypocrisy for not expelling Israel as it had done in 2022, vending Russia After the invasion of Ukraine. The justification of Eurovision was that the contest is a competition between public broadcasters, not governments, and that Israeli public television (Kan) continues to meet the requirements of editorial independence and public service that, however, considers that Russian public chains have lost. Songs with problems. Already that same 2023, the song with which Israel participated in the contest, ‘Hurricane’, played by Eden Golan, He gave problems because it was suspected that its lyrics contained evening allusions to the attacks of October 7. The lyrics and the video clip used metaphors that reminded the young people fleeing from the attack at the Nova Music Festival, where Eden was one of the survivors. Finally, Israel maintained its participation after threatening to retire Yes ‘Hurricane’ was disqualified. Too many interests. But if your participation is so problematic, why don’t Eurovision exclude Israel? This is a network of interests where the sponsorship and financing of the festival stands out: since 2020, the main Eurovision sponsor is Moroccanoil, a company of cosmetics of Israeli origin that performs 80% of its production in Israel and has a continuous presence in the contest, from its appearance in all the curtains and scenarios to the styling of the artists. The brand has been accused of manufacturing in occupied Palestinian territories. Different sources point out that Moroccanoil would withdraw a very juicy sponsorship if Israel was expelled from the contest. The Eurofans protest. Next to the controversial votes, in social networks A series of videos have been seen that they result in the idea that the televoto has little to do with the desire of the authentic fans of the contest: constant boos In Israel’s performance, Palestinian flags that they have not been able to be hidden by realization, expulsions of spectators In essays … the contrast between Eurofans (even among those who advocate The impossible: that the contest is apolitic) and the televoto mediated by pro-Israeli media and organs is more pronounced than ever. It has its fans. But of course, there is the other side of the equation: we cannot forget that, despite the protests of many Eurofans, Israel has won the contest with authentic classics. Especially notorious was Dana International’s performance in 1998, which was a step forward in the LGTBI representation in Eurovision, giving to a large extent the contest we know today. Eurovision is largely its LGTBI audience, and Israel took a giant step in its day in that direction, something that many followers still remember and thank. It is also unfair to say that the entire televoto, however broken the system, was mediated by political interests: the trajectory at the Israel Festival demonstrates that their themes have genuine defenders: the controversy of its presence only dates back a couple of years ago, but historically Israel has gone well stopped the voting since the seventies. The protests of Spain and Belgium, in short, are exceptions: most European governments support Israel’s policy, and that also influences the positioning of their voters in Eurovision.

We are increasingly sure that Mars hides a lot of water underground. The last track has been given to us an earthquake

by

There was a remote time in which Mars, today desert, had rivers and seas. We know some of the remnants that have remained, such as the Jezero river delta that explores the Rover Perseverance But that water may have been more than mere traces. A lot more. New tests. A geological study conducted thanks to the propagation of seismic waves on the red planet has obtained new evidence of the existence of water on Mars. Although the study itself does not imply a definitive test, it joins the list of studies that indicate that the neighboring planet is not as dry as it seems. A wet past. The Martian oceans had a short duration In geological terms. According to estimates, these would have disappeared between 4,100 and 3,000 million years ago (our solar system has about 4.6 billion years), in periods called Noeic and Hesperic. The lower gravitational attraction and the lack of a magnetic field that protect the Martian seas of the solar wind left Mars without superficial oceans. But from that water there was more than a handful of marks in the geography of the red planet: the water in solid state lasts ice -shaped either Integrated into its minerals. The enigma of the missing water. Some researchers detected a problem, and it is the difficulty that the sum of evaporated water, frozen or embedded in minerals could represent the total water that was once on Mars, they explain In an article for The conversation Hrvoje Tkalčić and Weijia Sun, co -authors of the recent geological study on water on Mars. Insight, to the rescue. In his recent study, the team took advantage of the data captured by the seismometer that the probe Insight He kept operating on Mars during his activity. During this period, Mars suffered an earthquake and received the impact of several meteorites, events whose seismic waves were recorded by the instrument aboard the now deceased probe. Studying the spread of these leads, the team identified an “anomaly” in a layer of the Martian subsoil located between 5.4 and 8 kilometers under the surface. It is a “low speed layer” that, according to the hypothesis proposed by the equipment would correspond to a layer of porous rock stuffed with water, “like a saturated sponge” or “something similar to the aquifers of the earth.” A lot of water. This layer could hide a significant amount of water, enough to house the water that dfalta in the accounts of the experts. “We have calculated that the ‘aquífera’ in Mars could house enough water to cover the planet in a global ocean of a depth of between 520 and 780 m, several times more water that keeps the Antarctic ice layer.” The details of the study will be published In an article In the magazine National Science Reviewbut for now we have to settle for a draft. Tests accumulate. This It is not the first time that we get evidence of the existence of vast amounts of water in the Martian subsoil. A little over a year agoa study conducted from the data of the European probe Mars Express reached a similar conclusion, that of the existence of huge amounts of water, enough to create an ocean of several hundred meters deep, in the Martian subsoil.

diurnal solar surpluses, night spikes … and increasingly cheaper batteries

by

For years, conversation about the future of Spanish electricity has been reduced to fear of two words: “China photovoltaic”. Panels cheap and reasonably efficient. But the final weapon is not arriving in containers from Shanghai, but increasingly frequently in the van of a neighborhood installer: lithium batteries packs that allow reducing the dependence of the conventional electricity grid. Cut the cable. Or, at least, loosen it. The cheaper that changes the rules Past, present and future of the storage price: 2015: Storing a kilowatt-Hora cost more than 1,100 dollars/kWh. 2024: according to Bloombergnefthe average price of the pack was at 115 dollars/kWh (about 105 euros/kWh), after a 20% drop in the last year. 2026-2027: By then, the same consultant estimates that the psychological bar of the 100 dollars/kWh will be broken. With these prices, Storing domestic energy costs less than the term valley of the PVPC ratewhich now ranges between 0.11 and approximately 0.13 euros/kWh. That makes the battery the natural complement of any roof with panels and a direct enemy of the demand managed by the distributors. To understand the impact of this cheaper on the accounts of the companies in the sector, you have to understand how they earn money. Iberdrola. Its 2024 ebitda, According to its annual resultsit was almost 17,000 million euros, broken down like this: Networks: 6,423 million euros. 38% of the total. Generation and customers: 10,425 million euros. 62%. 52% of Iberdrola’s investment goes to networks, its most stable and regulated segment. Endesa. Its 2024 Ebitda reached 5,300 million euros, with a similar distribution: Electric distribution: 1,750 million (approximately 33%). The rest comes mainly from generation and marketing. Naturgy. With an Ebitda of 5,400 million in 2024: ELECTRIC NETWORKS AND GAS: They represent approximately 45% of the business. The company has increased its investment in this segment by 15% compared to the previous year. For all these companies, Each kilowatt-hora that does not circulate through its networks directly impacts its profitability. Today, the threat is hypothetical, but tomorrow it will be arithmetic. Battery and panel: the combo that takes off According to data from Auto: In 2021, only 2% of residential facilities included battery. In 2024 that figure reached 71%. And they are not just coastal chalets, hybrid kits reach peripheral single -family and even communities of pioneering neighbors. With subsidies and 2.0TD rateamortization drops between 6 and 8 years, and energy self -sufficiency touches 80% in optimal conditions. Electric grid as electron pipe begins to stagger. And not only because of the fall in the demand managed, but because the flow is reversed. In the moments of sun and low demand, thousands of homes are beginning to return energy to the network or simply not need it. For a company that invests billions in transport and distribution infrastructures, that is a problem. But the regulatory framework is starting to move. And your address is not clear. The CNMC has on the table The new toll methodology for the period 2026–2031. Among the Options in consultation: Move part of the fixed costs of the network at the end of power, and begin to remunerate flexibility services, such as storage or coordinated discharge of domestic batteries. They are two changes with opposite consequences: The first penalizes the self -consumer with drums, although he barely consumes. The second rewards it, if your battery helps to balance the network at critical moments. Everything will depend on how normative design is related. And who is heard more. But for now, the government Last the arrival of aid for energy storage through 700 million Feder funds. This transformation is not an isolated case. Several European and American electricity have understood the message before the Spanish. And they have begun to move. Nextera has already hired 81 GW from Solar With storage for 2027, with a good part behind the accountant. That is, in homes. Enel x He has launched virtual power plants pilots (VPPS) In Italy and agreements to display regulated batteries. EDF He is exploring flexibility markets in the United Kingdom and France. In Spain, Endesa has timidly begun to explore this land with its project FlexiCy In Malaga. The background logic is clear: The network will remain necessary, but less as a unidirectional route and more as a smart platform for exchange and balance. And the interesting thing It is not so much the exact point in which we are, but the slope of the curve. According to The International Energy Agencyto meet the objectives set in COP28, world storage capacity It must be multiplied by six before 2030. Of which 1,200 GW must come from batteries. Spain, with its diurnal solar surpluses and nocturnal peaks of consumption, is one of the most fertile land in Europe for that transition. Despite the fear of these years to the threat that came by boat – Chinese plates – the real threat is the one that arrives in a van. In lithium, phosphate and iron packages that allow each home to keep their own energy. In that context, The network business is focused on a transformation: to bill kilowatts to offer guarantees of energy continuity. And there is the key: whoever adapts to the new model will not only resist better. You can also lead it. In Xataka | We have second to second the data on the great blackout in Spain.

In favor and against an increasingly international and ‘desestationalized’ diet

by

Yesterday There were creeks in the supermarket. Round, orange and bittersweet, the fruits of the loquat of Japan are one of those little miracles that gives us May. And I know it is an anecdote: a handful of thousands of tons of an absurdly seasonal product distributed by the supermarkets of five or six Spanish provinces. But it made me smile, first; And frown, later. Because yesterday, looking at those two bars in the middle of the ocean of fruits and vegetables, I realize that we almost always eat the same. Yes, a varied and balanced diet: provided we do not get out of the same 20 or 30 fruit and vegetable references. There is a battle in the world of distribution forever, let’s eat the same; so that our diet is the most standardized the same; so that there are no media in the supermarket. It may seem exaggerated, but there are examples to thousands. If we think about it, the idea of ​​being able to go down to the store and find avocados whatever the time of the year is almost magical. Avocado flowering in Spain It occurs in April. Also in March and May, but especially in April. The collection and marketing, on the other hand, goes from October to March. What happens in the spring and summer months? Where do the avocados that fill the shelves of the supermarkets come from? The answer is that of Peru. Of other sites, but fundamentally from Peru. The market and globalization has achieved something incredibly difficult: to be able to have seasonal products throughout the year. Sometimes, bringing them from other areas of the world (as in the case of avocado); Other times, looking for macrovarities that allow their cultivation throughout the year. That is what happens with potatoes (extra -time, early, half -season and late) and tomatoes. The Jungle Law. In this sense, international trade and international coordination select products with the ability to generate sufficient demand to ensure its supply during the year is profitable. As not all products allow it, nor all consumer groups are large enough: the current result is that many traditional products can only be found at the local level and those of great consumption The shelves of the supermarkets fill half the world. In our pantry there is a fierce knife fight from which only the most suitable products for these plethoric market societies come out. Is such a standardized diet ‘a good idea? Without a doubt, it has positive things. For the love of God, we can eat avocados at any month of the yearHow are you not going to have positive things? For thousands of years humanity has had to eat what it touched, but now we are very close to simply eat what we feel like. And that, even in a subject so crossed by cultural, social and personal factors Like food, it limits the future of gastronomy: it unifies it little by little, it makes it less diverse and more insecure. But, without a doubt, more appealing: a breakfast buffet in a hotel of many stars: the best – the most popular – of each kitchen in the world. While science fiction writers imagined a future with astronaut food, A kind of Soylent with steroids. What we are discovering is that the diet is changing, yes; But towards the promise that in the end We will all eat more or less the same.

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.

Male routines are increasingly rare

by

They are almost four in the morning. While most are still asleep, there are those who believe that is the perfect time to begin to conquer success. It is not just waking up early, it is to follow a millimeter routine that mixes extreme discipline, self -care and sport. A man has taken him to the limit, and his video has gone viral. The new sensation. On X/Twitter, the @Tipsforenx account has published a Reel which has become a viral sensation on that network. However, the Original video I accumulate in Tiktok more than 8 million like and has been displayed more than 99 million times. In it we can Ashton Halla influencer Fitness, carrying out an extreme morning routine where he gets up at 3:52 in the morning to start the day. The routine The clip shows Hall taking off the Mouth Tapingwashing his teeth and prowling before exercising on the balcony. Then decide to read (two minutes, because the whole video is marked by times), write or manifest (a usual practice in these routines) and watch some videos on the mobile. Then, fill a bowl with water with gas from the blue bottle that always carries. Once ready, immerse the face in that bowl, and then we dress to train. Finally, he returns home, where a banana is shower and eats, which restrges the peel by the face. It’s already 9:00 in the morning and, again, put the face in ice with ice And, later, he is seen preparing what appears to be a podcast while preparing breakfast. @ashtonhall forgicial Day 191 of The Morning Routine That Changed My Life 3:50 am to 9:30 am without Lives Late at night .. If you’re dealing with a Weak Mind, Bad Decions, Or Lack of Productivity Go To Sleep Early. 4:00 am – 8:00 am not’s calling or distracting your productivity .. they are located. 8:00 pm – 12:00 am is the opposite. Just Try 30 Days .. Send This to Your Partners. It’s time to do Better. ♬ Original Sound – Worthy Supps “Morning Skincare Routine”. The morning routines of self -care began to become very viral in Tiktok, especially among womenwho showed their morning with a Morning Sheds followed by A little one Vlog With your exercise routine and personal care. In fact, these practices, when not taken to the extreme, can be beneficial for both physical and mental health, according to He explained Andrew Huberman, neuroscientist from Stanford University. However, this phenomenon has gained popularity among men, who seek to project an organized, productive and successful life, aligned with the constant pressure of optimizing every minute, as we can see in the video of Ashton Hall. In other words, the desire to maximize personal performance, but also a pressure on the physical and image. The cult of the body. The male aesthetic pressure and the obsession with appearance have been driven by the phenomenon of the looksmaxxingwhich implies the effort to achieve a “perfect look” through rigorous physical training routines, aesthetic surgery and personal care. As has detailed in Newtralthis type of culture reflects an obsession to maximize personal attractiveness, which leads many to invest in their image as a way of obtaining social and economic validation. In Xataka We have analyzed How this movement is not only related to fitness, but also to extreme self -care, reflecting a desire to meet aesthetic ideals imposed by social networks To achieve the status of “alpha”. Self -care, accompanied by strict exercise routines and habits such as skin care or supplements, has become essential in this approach to success. Influencers and investors They make their image A reflection of its financial success, associating aesthetic perfection with personal and professional achievement, in a cycle promoted by constant productivity expectations and social validation. The viralization. Ashton Hall’s video has quickly gone viral, generating parodies and imitations. However, what it does show is a trend between influencers, entrepreneurs and cryptoinversors promoting habits to “achieve success.” What was previously typical of elite athletes or military forces, has now transformed into an aspirational standard Within certain male circles. Beyond exaggeration and parody, this trend is pending among many men, establishing a new self -care code. In this new type of care, it coexists to hydrate the skin, meditate or make flexions at 4:00 in the morning in the same routine. In short, although in many cases these practices are adopted by social pressure or by obsession with productivity, they are gradually redefining the meaning of male self -care, with implications that deserve a deep reflection.

There are alarmed people because fruits are increasingly sweet. It is a more complicated phenomenon than it appears

by

A few years ago, Melbourne Zoo decided that he would stop giving fruits to some of his animals “because they were too sweet for their own good“In recent years, red pandas and primates had gained weight and some even had signs of decay. The reason tells a greater story about our relationship with the fruit. Too much sugar. “The problem is that cultivated fruits have been genetically modified to have a sugar content much greater than its natural ancestral fruits,” Michael Lynch explainedVeterinarian Chief of the Zoo, to the Sydney Morning Herald. It seemed a curiosity without much route, but it wasn’t. The idea that “fruit is not healthy because it has much higher sugar levels than in the old days” It has been circulating for years Online. In fact, come back again and again … But is it? The answer is complicated. If we go to the data (for example, to Central fooddataa database of nutritional analysis of food in the US), we can find some fruits in which that is seen growth. For example, “wild blueberries” would have 6.46% of sugars, while commercial “blueberries” would be at 9.96%. Growth is considerable, yes. What happens is that this effect disappears when, instead of comparing with primitive varieties, we analyze whether the fruit has been raising its amounts of sugars in recent decades. Angela Dowden He reviewed the United Kingdom data since 1946 and found no significant differences in the sugar content of apples, white grapes or strawberries. Giovanni Stanchi. This makes sense. For years, human beings have gone improving Fruits and vegetables to the point that they don’t look at anything. Giovanni Stanchi was an Italian still life of the seventeenth century. At some point between 1645 and 1672, Stanchi painted a picture full of peaches, pears and watermelons. Watermelons that do not look anything like ours. And it’s not that it was anything new. The watermelon was a plant of Africa that for 1600 (via al-Andalus) It was already extremely popular in the orchards throughout Europe. Bodegons give us An unbeatable opportunity To see how the watermelon has changed until today. By 1860, the watermelons They were acquiring an appearance more recognizable. It is not just a matter of appearance. Also of flavor. We have seen it With tomatoes (Although, in this case, Often for worse) and we could see it with almost all fruits and vegetables. For example, Brussels cabbage They are much less bitter That 20 years ago. The point is that, when we talk about sugars in fruits, we will see that growth has a limit. A physical limit. In general, As the botanist James to Wong explainedfruity sugars levels tend to converge in a very similar range because, as with tomatoesplants can not manufacture more sugar without becoming much larger or produced less (and none of that interests us at a commercial level). But there is something else. Let’s go to nutritional data to see it clearly: following Dowden’s data, super sweet “modern” strawberries contain only 4.89% of sugars, while Kiwis have 8.99% and bananas have 12.23%. This gives us an interesting key. As Wong points out, what fitomejoradores do is that “the fruit has a sweeter flavor not increasing sugars, but reducing acid and bitter chemicals that mask their sweetness.” And there is the explanation of what happened with Melbourne’s animals. The problem was not so much the level of fruits sugars (which, Rememberbeing “fiber -packaged fructose” cannot increase blood sugar levels as refined sugars), but were so good that pandas and primates stopped eating other things and their diet was unbalanced. It does not seem a problem that affects us human beings. Hopefully the fruit would gain weight in our diet because that would mean that, on average, the feeding of society would improve. What we are seeing is, in fact, it is just the opposite: the weight in our processed food diet tripled between 1990 and 2010 (from 11% to 31.7%) and that led to the added sugars added will pass from 8.4% of our daily energy intake at 13%. Within our dietary concerns, the sweet fruit is not among the worst problems.

The audiences, in unpredictable terrain between the bad Broncano streak and the increasingly patent recovery of TV5

by

‘La Revuelta’ It seems to have worked as a revulsive for the stagnation situation that the traditional television audiences liveEl Hormiguero‘. Nothing that was released in that strip seemed to be able to compete, and no format that Tele5 experienced after the fall of ‘Save Me’ planted face. From the fall of last year, however, and with its audiences matching and surpassing those of motorcycles, Broncano seems to have launched a poisonous dart, a doubt: there is nothing sure in the figures of linear television spectators. Broncano collapse. A little less than a month ago We talked about how, with six months of the premiere of ‘La Revuelta’, the competition with ‘El Hormiguero’ had not yet thrown clear data. In the last quarter of 2025, Broncano came out victorious, however little, in the strip of strict coincidence and also in the number of spectators. However, both the Champions and, especially, the unexpected success of ‘The island of temptations’ has affected Broncano’s figures, which had a historical minimum last March 12 And, in general, its lowest figures since it premiered in autumn. The solution, this Thursday. Taking advantage of the fact that this Thursday will be issued number 100 of ‘La Revuelta’, TVE will experiment changing the emission timeand delaying it until 22.35 hours. Like so many other times, Broncano sees his time changed because of football, since TVE will give the match between Spain and the Netherlands before. The seventh gala of ‘Celebrity sewing teachers’, which It is not having very good audiences eithera week is postponed. It is unlikely that TVE is looking for a schedule change for ‘La Revuelta’, since it cannot be allowed, as Tele5, to base its entire grill on a single product. But at the moment it can be an experiment to verify how it is given to escape from the motorcycle sponator. Meanwhile, Telecinco triumphs. Although the Mediaset channel is still in total audiences below Antena 3 and the1 (it will be necessary to see if it recovers second place with the spectacular audiences of ‘The island of temptations’ and ‘survivors’ of March), its climb thanks to the Montoya phenomenon is remarkable not only for the damage it is doing to Broncano, but by the improvement itself for the global computation of the channel. And it is not the only strip that improves its data, but that mornings and afternoons have also experienced remarkable increases. Realities Explosives Montoya became Thanks to the power of memes In a global phenomenon, but what Telecinco perhaps did not expect was that it helped to give a tremendous push so much to the final stretch of ‘The island of temptations’ (a spectacular 26.9% quota came to have in its tenth week on Monday, leading every week and with an average of 19.1%). But the phenomenon continues: in its second week, ‘survivors’ already averaged 20.6% of Share in its main section, and exceeds 20% in three of its first editions. Figures completely from another era, almost pre-streaming. Not everything is the islands. And not just that. Last week, Ana Rosa showed that His return to the morning It had been a good idea because it is not only planting face (without destroying, but enduring the envy very dignity) to Arús, but since he left the afternoons, ‘late’ is strengthening his presence. Last Tuesday 11, both Ana Rosa (15.8%) and ‘afternoon’ (10,1) made respective records of Share In his trajectories, and also ‘Jorge’s diary’ (10) strengthened his space, since he has a good run of double -digit audiences, and on Tuesday he made his best fact since its premiere, demonstrating that the change to the second half of the afternoon has sat very well.
