Gray zone warfare in German hypermarkets: Cans that cause infertility more widespread

gray zone warfare

Canned soup, fish, tomatoes, or coconut milk can save you when you're hungry but short on time and help diversify your menu with items that aren't available seasonally or geographically.

However, the recent results of the main German foundation for the independent examination of goods and services "Stiftung Warentest" cut the appetite and cause alarm. Independent experts examined 58 cans sold in German supermarkets. Bisphenol A (BPA) was found in the vast majority of them (51 cans), informs the Foundation "Stiftung Warentest" in the May issue of its consumer magazine "Test", reports DEUTSCHE WELLE.

This substance can cause serious health effects

"Bisphenol A, among other things, can affect the reproductive system, its effects being similar to those of hormones" - explains Swantje Waterstraat, an employee of the publication, in an interview given to the AFP news agency.

Bisphenol A is structurally similar to estrogen and can cause endocrine disruption and, in particular, infertility. The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) classifies Bisphenol A as a chemical of "very high concern" for experts.

In 2023, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reduced the permissible level of consumption of this substance by 20,000 times. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) also reduced the figure, but less drastically.

Another EU watchdog, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), does not see the same degree of danger from BPA. Last spring, the EMA criticized EFSA's methodology as too hasty, as no causal link had been proven in either animal or human studies.

Coachella Setlist 2024: the American festival unveils its insane line-up!

That's it, we finally know the headliners who will make up the Coachella lineup this year. And the least we can say is that the festival hit hard for this new edition. MCE TV tells you everything from A to Z!

COACHELLA: THE MOST HYPE FESTIVAL OF THE YEAR?

Among the major festivals taking place on the American continent, Coachella is undoubtedly the one that stands out the most from the others. And for good reason: it is located in the middle of the desert!

But beyond this particularity which pleases fans from all over the world, this major event is above all renowned for attracting big stars. We are rarely disappointed by the lineup!

Last year, for example, we were thrilled by The Weeknd's incredible concert. Even if he had a mixed experience, since he confided that he almost got burned on the festival stage. Yes, these are difficult conditions that await artists in the Indio desert…

We also loved seeing Angèle let off steam on the festival stage. A dream for the Belgian artist who has fans all over the world!

However, not everything was rosy in this 2023 edition. And the prize for ultimate flop went to Frank Ocean, who had to cancel his second concert after a total fiasco. A hard blow for this artist who was expected to turn the corner...

But in 2024, Coachella intends to make us forget the setbacks of last year with promising new headliners. MCE TV tells you more

A PRESTIGE LINE-UP IN 2024

Coachella fans were eagerly awaiting the announcement of the headliners. And they were not disappointed, because the festival brought out the heavy artillery with the line-up for this 2024 edition!

Indeed, we will notably find the singer Lana Del Rey, the rapper Tyler, The Creator and the artist Doja Cat on the main stages. It promises a great show!

But beyond these three big names, there is also a host of other artists from all walks of life who make up this very beautiful line-up. We can assure you: there are truly spoiled for choice!

First of all, it’s hard not to mention Gwen Stefani’s group No Doubt which is making its comeback at the Californian festival. And for good reason: fans have been waiting for this for 9 years. Clearly, after Zendaya's return to Coachella, everyone wants to make a comeback in the Indio desert!

Techno fans can, for example, head to concerts by French producer Gesaffelstein and Charlotte de Witte. These two DJs are not new to this, since they had already set the festival alight during previous editions.

Alongside this, we also find the legendary group Blur and the Khruangbin collective. Two sure values for rock fans.

And finally, let’s not forget our French artists with DJ Snake and L’Impératrice. You will have understood, there really is something for everyone!

To see these renowned artists in the Indio desert, meet them the weekends of April 12 and 19. You will also be able to attend all the concerts on the Coachella YouTube channel which will broadcast a free stream. Always good to know!

No New Hotels in Amsterdam - Point in Setlist to combat excessive tourism

 

The Dutch city of Amsterdam will no longer allow the construction of new hotel buildings as part of its fight against mass tourism, the local government announced on Wednesday.

“We want to make and keep the city livable for residents and visitors. This means: no over-tourism, no new hotels and no more than 20 million hotel nights by tourists per year," a statement said.

A new hotel in Amsterdam can only be built if another hotel closes, if the number of accommodation places does not increase, and if the new hotel will be better – for example, more sustainable.

However, the rule does not apply to new hotels that have already obtained a permit.

The city has actively tried to limit the number of tourists, which amount to several million a year, mainly by discouraging sex and drug tourism in the red light district.

Coachella 2024: Here is the entire program for the great American festival

Here is the line-up for the new edition of the famous Californian festival, Coachella. An edition that sells dreams!

The Coachella 2024 Valley Music and Arts Festival, one of the most famous festivals in the world, has revealed its finalized program. This year. Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator and Doja Cat are the main headliners. As usual, the Californian festival will take place over two consecutive weekends: in 2024, Coachella will take place from April 12 to 14 and from 19 to 21, 2024. Here is the complete program:

Who are the artists not to be missed at Coachella 2024?

Surprise: the group No Doubt will make its comeback for the 2024 edition of Coachella. We do not yet know the exact date of their visit, but it will be their first joint appearance since 2015.

For the two Fridays of the festival, here are some of the artists present on stage: Lana Del Rey, Peso Pluma, Lil Uzi Vert, Justice, Deftones, Peggy Gou, Young Miko, Bizarrap, Skepta, Ken Carson, Faye Webster, Tinashe, Brittany Howard, Chappel Roan, Chlöe, and Black Country, New Road, to name just a handful.

For both Saturdays we will notably enjoy shows by Tyler, the Creator, Blur, Ice Spice, Sublime, Bleachers, Grimes, Jon Batiste, Orbital, Kevin Abstract, the Blessed Madonna, Oneohtrix Point Never, Bar Italia, Erika de Casier, Militarie Gun and Mandy, Indiana.

And the two Sundays will conclude with Doja Cat, J Balvin, Khruangbin, Lil Yachty, Victoria Monét, Reneé Rapp, Bebe Rexha, Coi Leray, Taking Back Sunday, Boy Harsher, Jockstrap, Mdou Moctar and Feeble Little Horse.

As in previous years, we are not immune to last minute changes. In 2023 and 2022, the festival had recorded impromptu withdrawals from their headliners: Kanye West scheduled for the two Sundays of the 2022 edition and was replaced at short notice by the Weeknd and Swedish House Mafia. In 2023, after a lackluster performance during the first weekend – started more than an hour late with, when the time came, technical sound problems – Frank Ocean chose to cancel his second concert, justifying his decision by a leg injury. Which led the festival to call on Blink-182, Skrillex, Four Tet and Fred Again. Unforeseen events that add spice and madness to this festival, and which contribute to our impatience for the 2024 edition.

When is Coachella 2024 and how to get tickets?

If the program tempts you to the point of starting this long journey to California to the site of the Empire Polo Club in Indio in the middle of the desert, there are still places left for the second weekend and you can register on the waiting list for the first weekend.
