On June 16, 2024, at 8:50 PM, reporter Shih Chun-mei / Taipei reported on SET News website that Dr. Hsiao Chieh-chien stated that the calories of fruits depend on the type, and the sweetness doesn't differ much. Contrary to common belief, the sweetness of fruits does not necessarily correlate with higher calories. Dr. Hsiao explained that the key to the calories in fruits lies in the total amount of carbohydrates, rather than the sweetness from fructose and glucose. Therefore, choosing sweeter fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and watermelons doesn't significantly impact calorie intake. He emphasized that the calorie difference between sweeter and less sweet fruits is minimal, illustrating with examples such as guava. For those aiming to eat healthily, selecting fruits with lower glycemic indexes like guava, which is similar to strawberries, can be a good choice.

As the weather gets hotter, many are turning on their air conditioning to stay cool while worrying about high electricity bills. A Japanese TV program conducted experiments with an expert from Daikin Industries to determine the most cost-effective way to stay cool. They found that increasing airflow made people feel cooler even without lowering the temperature significantly. The program emphasized that adjusting airflow is more energy-efficient than lowering the temperature, as compressor operation in air conditioning consumes the most electricity. Setting the AC to run with weaker airflow during the day significantly lowered electricity costs compared to keeping it on automatic settings. The program suggests that increasing airflow when necessary is a more efficient and cost-effective way to cool indoor spaces.
