Entrevista para André Pereira e Bruna Paz Ferreira em 27/02/2024

Acadêmico de 90 anos mantém um blog semanalmente há 20 anos

06.03.2024 – Algumas vezes, confessa o Dr. Aloyzio Achutti, ele chegou a pensar em encerrar o Blog AMICOR, que conclui religiosamente até a meia-noite de toda sexta-feira para despachar como link de WhatsApp nas primeiras horas do sábado. Entretanto, os leitores ávidos por notícias atualizadas de medicina, coletadas em fontes de nível nacional e internacional, que ele seleciona diariamente, acabaram convencendo-o do contrário.

Assim, completando duas décadas de postagens no formato blog, segue a rotina prazerosa desde 2004. “Eu me divirto e posso dizer que me considero atualizado com os últimos avanços da medicina”, contou ele na tarde de terça-feira (27/02), enquanto avançava no preparo laborioso da edição número 3.179.

Participants who consumed a high-glycemic breakfast, rich in refined carbohydrates, were rated as less attractive than those who had a low-glycemic meal. This research, involving 104 French adults, adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting that diet, specifically the intake of refined carbohydrates found in the Western diet, may impact non-medical traits such as attractiveness.
