(CNN) — El mercado de la leche de origen vegetal está en auge, y ya se ofrecen bebidas hechas de semillas, nueces, legumbres, granos y mezclas de todos esos ingredientes, a menudo comercializados como reemplazos a la tradicional de leche de vaca.Sin embargo, no todas esas opciones de leche vegetal están fortificadas como para cumplir con los niveles de varios ingredientes nutricionales contenidos en los lácteos, según un nuevo estudio inédito presentado este lunes en Nutrition 2023, la reunión anual de la Sociedad Estadounidense de Nutrición celebrada en Boston.El estudio analizó las etiquetas nutricionales y los ingredientes de 233 productos lácteos de origen vegetal de 23 fabricantes diferentes y encontró que solo 28 de las bebidas tenían tanta o más proteína, vitamina D y calcio que la leche de vaca.“Alrededor de la mitad estaban fortificadas con vitamina D, dos tercios estaban fortificados con calcio y casi el 20% tenía niveles de proteínas similares a los de la lech...Carroll’s 2-run triple in the 8th rallies Diamondbacks past Cardinals 3-1 to snap a 5-game skid

PHOENIX (AP) — Pinch-hitter Corbin Carroll’s two-run triple capped a three-run rally in the eighth inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 on Tuesday night to snap a five-game losing streak.Arizona rallied late to win for just the third time in 11 games since the All-Star break.Trailing 1-0, Arizona tied it in the eighth off JoJo Romero (2-1), who had retired the side in order in the seventh in relief of Steven Matz. Ketel Marte led off with a triple to the gap in left-center and scored when Jake McCarthy punched a single up the middle through St. Louis’ drawn-in infield. Chris Stratton relieved and retired two batters but walked pinch-hitter Dominic Canzone before Carroll, batting for Emmanuel Rivera, drove one to the center-field wall, where Dylan Carlson could not make the play.“I think that one meant a little more,” said Carroll, who was getting a day off until the eighth. “We got a lot of guys that are grinding right now.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Pitcher Ken Waldichuk grew up around Bay Area baseball, so he knows how much fans here stand behind their beloved teams. On Tuesday night during San Francisco’s 2-1 win, supporters of the big-spending Giants rallied around the small-budget Oakland Athletics and both sides stood tall to hold a joint protest and exhibit a rare moment of solidarity between the rivals.Wearing Oakland green and gold and Giants orange and black, thousands of fans joined together to fight the A’s planned move to Las Vegas.“It’s definitely kind of crazy, pretty loud, just a lot of energy,” A’s left-hander Waldichuk said. “They’re definitely passionate. I grew up, my parents were from the Bay Area, so I’ve known how passionate they’ve been in the past as well. I think they’re pretty great fans.”And they were heard — again. In other baseball cities, fans paid attention to the efforts Tuesday and urged each other on social media to do somethi...NatWest bank chief quits over Nigel Farage ‘debanking’ saga
Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 09:34:13 GMT
LONDON — NatWest Chief Executive Alison Rose stepped down in the early hours of Wednesday morning, after she confessed to being the source for an inaccurate BBC story about why Nigel Farage was dropped as a client by NatWest-owned Coutts bank.Rose fell on her sword in a late-night summit of the bank’s board — less than eight hours after it pledged “full confidence” in her — when she lost the support of Downing Street and the Treasury. Farage’s account with Coutts was closed earlier this year, and internal bank documents show his political views were a factor.Rose admitted she was the source of the BBC story on Tuesday afternoon, after which the board said it had “full confidence” in her. But she faced pressure to resign, with the Sun reporting Chancellor Jeremy Hunt had “serious concerns” over her handling of the “debanking” controversy, and the Times reporting Number 10 wanted her to quit. NatWest later said that Rose had “agreed by m...Spain election: Conservative boss Feijóo’s numbers don’t add up

MADRID — Alberto Núñez Feijóo may not want to admit it but his hope of being Spain’s next prime minister may have to be lowered. On Monday night, the leader of the center-right Popular Party, which won the most votes in last Sunday’s national election in Spain but fell short of securing a governing majority, was left without options to form a government after two key regional parties rejected his overtures.To become Spain’s prime minister, a candidate whose party has not secured a governing majority needs to either get the backing of 176 of the total 350 MPs in an initial vote in parliament or wait for a second round of voting to secure a simple majority. MPs can also abstain, which means it can be difficult to determine the exact number of seats needed for a successful bid to form a government.In a speech after a meeting of the Popular Party’s executive committee, Feijóo reaffirmed his determination to gather the support needed to advance with his candidacy,...Pete Alonso, Mets too much to bear as Justin Verlander blanks Bombers

After splitting two games at Citi Field in June, the Mets opened the Subway Series’ sequel at Yankee Stadium with a 9-3 win on Tuesday.Pete Alonso fueled the Mets offense with his first two home runs since July 6. The first, a three-run blast in the third inning, came after Francisco Lindor doubled on a ball that hung in the air for a while before falling in front of a sliding Billy McKinney. The play had an expected batting average of .030, but it nonetheless led to a hit before Jeff McNeil walked and Alonso went deep.Alonso, who hit a solo home run in the sixth, also picked up an RBI single in the first inning on a ball that dropped between McKinney and Harrison Bader. That play had an expected batting average of .050.The Mets added to their lead when Daniel Vogelbach followed Alonso’s second dinger with one of his own. McNeil then drove one home with a single in the seventh and two more with a double in the ninth.While Domingo Germán surrendered six earned runs o...Chula Vista one step closer in converting local motel into long-term housing solution

CHULA VISTA, Calif. - A hotel for the homeless is soon coming to the South Bay after City Council voted unanimously to take one step closer in buying the property. Millions of dollars from the State of California Homekey Program will help fund the project, and in total, the 31-unit property will become permanent supportive housing for homeless residents. This follows the opening of the city's temporary emergency shelter that opened this May with hopes of taking the initiative a step further, providing the 318 people experiencing homelessness per the latest point-in-time count, a long-term housing solution. The city is now setting its sights on the now vacant Palomar Motel with hopes of converting the rustic 31-room site to 30 long-term housing units including a bathroom and kitchenette. However, it's not just a roof over their heads, the city also hopes to provide both mental and physical health resources. “You know…a variety of tools need to be used to secure people with the things...Latest news
