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.

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...

Trojan apps that take photos of users without permission, if you have them, delete them

  ESET antivirus experts have released a new list of Android messaging apps that track users and steal their information. These are apps from the Google Play Store and almost all of them look like regular messaging apps. However, behind the scenes they run a remote device access Trojan known as "VajraSpy" and are part of the "Patchwork APT" campaign, with the primary goal of spying on downloaders. These apps can steal your contacts, files, call history and messages, and some can even access your WhatsApp or Signal conversations, record phone calls or see what notifications you receive, the website PhoneArena" published post. The worst that has been discovered is that they can take pictures of users and record sound in the environment. They are primarily used in Pakistan and India, but it is possible to find them in other areas as well. If you accidentally came across them, skip them, and if you downloaded them, delete them. These are the Google Play Store apps ...

Advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy

The technology that is utilized to collect and convert solar energy is known as solar energy. In 2011, less than 0.1 percent of the world's energy consumption was met by the technology. Many people are familiar with 'photovoltaic cells,' often known as solar panels, which are used in items like spacecraft, roofs, and handheld calculators. Semiconductor materials, similar to those used in computer chips, are used to make the cells. Electrons are dislodged from their atoms when sunlight strikes the cells. The cell produces electricity when the electrons move through it. Solar-thermal power plants use a variety of methods to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source on a much bigger scale. The heat is then utilized to boil water, which powers a steam turbine to produce electricity in a manner similar to that of coal and nuclear power plants and serve thousands of people with electricity. In one method, sunlight is focused on an oil pipe that passes through the center o...
