Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half...

Oil prices rose above $75, with US stocks in focus

Oil prices rose above $75 in international markets on Friday, boosted by signs of a strengthening US economy and a sharp drop in inventories ahead of further supply cuts from Saudi Arabia. 

On the London market, the price of a barrel for delivery in September was 82 cents higher in the afternoon than at the close of trading yesterday and amounted to $75.33. Barrels for August delivery traded 52 cents higher at $74.86.
On the American market, the price of a barrel increased by 86 cents, to 70.72 dollars. 

Traders were encouraged by slightly increased estimates of US economic growth in the first quarter and a sharp fall in inventories last week, by as much as 9.6 million barrels. 

The US economy grew by 1.8% in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department, compared to the same period last year, 0.2 percentage points stronger than previous estimates showed. At the end of 2022, it increased by 0.9 percent. 

Prices were also supported by Saudi Arabia's announcement that it will cut supply by another million barrels per day in July. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies have extended a parallel agreement on reduced supply until the end of next year.

Markets have been pressured by high inflation and rising interest rates in key economies, as well as an unexpectedly slow recovery in China's industrial production and consumption.

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard...
