- Some nutrition experts are debunking the myth that microwaves remove nutrients from foods. Here's what we know:
- In a new study from Chung Buk National University in China, a clinical dietician has shown that boiling, frying and stir-frying decreases the nutrients in food
- Microwaves have been shown to preserve nutrients
- Major reasons microwaves can preserve nutrients:
- Microwaves use on average an air temperature of 350-degrees
- Microwaves use less time to heat food
- Harvard Medical School Professor & Senior Physician at Brigham & Women's Hospital Dr. Anthony Komaroff has stated that microwaves are the least likely cooking method to damage nutrients: "...the longer food cooks the more nutrients break down and microwave cooking takes less time."
- A 2023 study shows that boiling has the highest negative effect on nutrients
- Always liked the convenience of using a microwave; didn't know it was a nutrition hero.
UK AI EXPERTS WARN OF AI GHOSTBOTS FLEECING US
- A team of University of Cambridge experts are warning that AI "deadbots" & "ghostbots" could digitally haunt and fleece you from beyond the grave. Here are some key facts:
- It's called the digital afterlife industry and is composed of AI empowered deadbots, ghostbots and griefbots
- Key component: AI chatbots trained to use the language patterns and personality traits of a dead relative or friend by using their digital footprint
- This is a growing AI business line that enables survivors to talk to and text a deceased relative
- University of Cambridge experts call it "high risk" that can cause psychological harm and digital haunting
- They warn without effective safeguards, companies could advertise products to the user with a voice that sounds like a dead relative
- An example: one user says the AI ghostbot of his grandmom is trying to sell him a Nintendo Switch
- Unscrupulous companies & individuals could use the technology to digitally stalk people with the dead
- Cambridge experts say the rights of both the dead and living users need to be protected and currently they are not.
