¡Facebook responsable del aumento de los casos de sífilis!

Un experto británico lo atribuye a que las redes sociales fomentan los encuentros ocasionales

EL PAÍS - Barcelona - 25/03/2010 Hay una abundante literatura que atribuye todos los males a la tecnología. El último ejemplo de ello lo publica Daily Telegraph. El director de la sanidad pública de la región británica de Teesside, Peter Kelly, ha afirmado que existe una relación causal entre el aumento detectado de casos de sífilis y el auge de las redes sociales como Facebook. A su juicio, "la sífilis es una enfermedad devastadora. Cualquiera que mantenga relaciones sexuales con amigos ocasionales está en peligro y las redes sociales hacen que sea más fácil tener oportunidades para practicar este sexo ocasional". Según estudios locales, los jóvenes de Teesside están entre los mayores usuarios de Facebook en el Reino Unido. Lo chocante es que este aumento de casos de sífilis no se localiza únicamente en esta región y ha habido otros periodos, como en los años sesenta y setenta del siglo pasado, que se detectó la misma tendencia. Entonces, sin embargo, no había redes sociales ni los ciudadanos accedían a Internet.

La téoría ya ha tenido sus réplicas. En RTBF recogen las declaraciones de un portavoz de Facebook que considera que las redes sociales son tan responsables como los diarios de los problemas sociales. El problema no está en las relaciones ocasionales... sino en que se mantengan sin las consabidas precauciones

Brain health. Promising prebiotics and probiotics combination

According to new research, the bacteria in our gut, known as gut microbiota, play an important role in brain injury and healing after a stroke. Taking particular types of prebiotics and probiotics can help with brain injury, inflammation, gut bacteria imbalances, and intestinal health. However, we still don't know whether prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (a combination of both) perform best for particular conditions, or how they operate. In this study, scientists tested a new synbiotic formulation containing multiple strains of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri UBLRu-87 Lactobacillus plantarum UBLP-40 Lactobacillus rhamnosus UBLR-58 Lactobacillus salivarius UBLS-22 Bifidobacterium breve UBBr-01 and prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) FOS are extracted from the blue agave plant and fruits and vegetables such as bananas, onions, chicory root, garlic, asparagus, jícama, and leeks. Some grains and cereals, such as wheat and barley, also contain FOS. The Jerusalem artichoke and ...

Sweetener Reformulated Biscuits: A Step Towards Blood Glucose Control

In a recent study led by Catherine Gibbons from the University of Leeds, the effects of sweetener reformulated biscuits on appetite and endocrine responses in adults with overweight or obesity were evaluated. This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022 in England and France, sheds light on the potential benefits of substituting sucrose with sweeteners like neotame and stevia rebaudioside M (StRebM). The findings suggest that while the reformulated biscuits yielded similar appetite responses compared to sucrose-sweetened ones, they demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of post-meal insulin and glucose levels. Participants consuming biscuits with neotame and StRebM experienced lower postprandial insulin levels compared to those consuming sucrose, indicating a potential positive impact on blood glucose control. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to acknowledge the limitations highlighted ...
