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

Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

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 for cooking, and put the other half in the refrigerator. Don't do that,” Jangda appealed.

Ginger

Like garlic and onions, ginger is susceptible to mold.

"Mold starts to form very quickly when you put it in the refrigerator, and it is associated with kidney and liver failure. "Don't put it in the fridge," Youngda warned.

Rice

Rice can be stored in the refrigerator, but not longer than 24 hours. Uncooked rice may contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Spores can survive cooking.

The bacterium Bacillus cereus grows best in a temperature range of 4 to 48ºC. In foods like rice, bacteria can produce toxins as the food cools, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Symptoms may appear several hours after eating spoiled rice, which is why it is necessary to seek medical help immediately. Although death is a rare consequence, it is not excluded. Bacillus cereus can grow in a variety of starchy foods, from rice to pasta.

The global appetite for solar panels is exacerbating the silver shortage

Technological changes in the production of solar panels are increasing demand for silver, a phenomenon that is deepening a shortage in the supply of the precious metal, while there is limited opportunity on the horizon to secure additional mining, reports "Bloomberg". Silver, in paste form, is used for the conductive layer on the front and back of silicon solar cells. But the sector is already starting to produce more efficient variants of cells that use much more metal, and this will contribute to increasing the already growing consumption.   Solar power still represents a relatively small portion of total silver demand, but it is growing. According to a report by The Silver Institute, it will account for 14% of consumption this year, up from about 5% in 2014. Much of that growth is coming from China, which is expected to install more solar panels this year than the United States. Demand for silver from the solar industry is growing. Chart: Bloomberg Solar energy is “a great

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

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WRITE LAWS: A regulation written entirely by chatbots was adopted in Brazil

  The city council of Porto Alegre, the capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, passed a law whose text was written entirely with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) produced by ChatGPT. The document was created by AI with the help of questions entered by city council member Ramiro Rosario, and the proposal of that law allows the municipality not to charge taxpayers for replacing water meters if they are stolen, reported TASS. The city council already approved the document, and it was signed by the mayor Sebastiu Melu, and the members of the council, the mayor, and the citizens only found out after the law was passed that it was completely written by AI. - Our strategy was not to tell anyone that the AI did it, we just wanted to conduct an experiment. In the coming years, society will face a revolution in various fields thanks to artificial intelligence, and politics will not be left out of these changes, Rosario said. The American company OpenAI introduced the ChatGP
