According to a compilation by Brand Viewpoint on June 17, 2024, Taiwan's CPC stated that international oil prices have risen due to factors such as the increase in US employment in May and OPEC's optimistic view on global oil demand growth. Under the floating oil price adjustment principle, based on a 7D3B weekly average price increase of $2.84 and a devaluation of $0.031 in the exchange rate of NTD to USD, the calculated increase rate is 2.96%. Therefore, gasoline and diesel prices are expected to increase by NTD 2.1 and NTD 3.5 per liter, respectively. Meanwhile, Formosa Plastics cited the summer peak oil demand season in the Northern Hemisphere and the EIA's upward revision of this year's global oil demand growth forecast for the rise in international oil prices. As a result, Formosa Plastics has decided to decrease gasoline and diesel wholesale prices by NTD 0.1 per liter starting from 1 a.m. on June 17th, with retail prices determined by gas stations. In light of global oil price trends, the NTD to USD exchange rate, domestic market competitiveness, and the lowest prices in neighboring Asian countries, Formosa Plastics will adjust prices accordingly.

On June 17, 2024, at 5:48 AM, nutritionist Mandy shared insights on healthy weight management. TVBS Oxygen Goddess Mandy, a nutritionist, approaches weight management from a professional and scientific standpoint to help the public understand this crucial aspect of life. She emphasizes the importance of increasing muscle mass instead of fat for healthy weight gain, suggesting a weekly increase of about 0.25 to 0.5 kilograms primarily from muscles. Mandy advises on dietary aspects, such as increasing calorie intake, protein, and complex carbohydrates, with recommendations for various sources of protein and complex carbs like whole grains, brown rice, oats, and sweet potatoes. Including healthy fats from nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocados can provide additional calories and benefit cardiovascular health. Maintaining a balanced diet, frequent meals, and adequate intake of vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy weight gain, as illustrated by Lee Chen-Xiang's case of gaining 21 kilograms for the TVBS original series 'San Francisco Beauty Salon.'
