Huang's frequent actions in the recent New Taipei City mayor election have led to speculations that he might run for president.

Yu revealed rumors about a member of the People's Party ambitiously seeking support from other current legislators in exchange for ensuring their re-election, suggesting Huang is the most ambitious to potentially succeed Ko Wen-je as party chairman.

Liver is an important detoxification organ, and liver cancer ranks 5th in the top 10 cancers among residents in Taiwan. Improper dietary habits, such as improper consumption of peanuts, can harm the liver.

It is advised to store peanuts at temperatures below 12°C after opening to prevent aflatoxin production. In addition to eating peanuts that have been stored for too long, fatty liver, indiscriminate medication use, and a preference for raw food are detrimental to the liver and should be avoided.
