Image
  Recent research of 21,800 men and 82,907 women discovered that  processed foods , particularly commercially accessible meats and sweetened drinks,  may raise the chance of  developing type 2 diabetes .

The new Audi RS e-tron GT is a true sports car

Image
  The Audi e-tron GT qualifies as a performance electric sports car. There are two versions – the extremely fast one is called the e-tron GT, while the warp-speed version is called the RS e-tron GT. Both are mean-looking and, more objectively, they're low and wide because they've been designed to handle brilliantly. They also have a boot (two boots, actually) and rear seats that are suitable for adults; so they're usable transport, not just toys. Oh, and in case you need a bit more convincing that the Audi e-tron GT is a serious bit of kit, underneath it's basically a Porsche Taycan, which is our current favourite performance car and one of the e-tron GT's chief rivals. The Tesla Model S would be another. The entry-level Audi e-tron GT really is extremely fast. The  Audi e-tron GT  has two electric motors , one driving the front wheels and one for the rears, making it four-wheel drive. That means it gets off the line with no drama in terms of wheelspin, but an all-e...

The Opel Mokka-e is sold out

Image
  In addition to the Corsa-e, Opel has also been offering the compact crossover Opel Mokka-e in an electric version for a few months. The people of Rüsselsheim were hoping for even greater success with the Mokka-e than with their small electric car. And in fact, the interest was so great that the model was initially sold out at the end of 2020. Now orders are apparently being canceled. The Opel Mokka-e has been available for order since last September and delivery is scheduled to start in the first quarter of the new year. Despite high expectations of the model, Opel was surprised by the many orders for the model, reports the Handelsblatt . The demand for the Opel Mocha-e was so great that the production capacities for the entire year 2021 have already been exhausted, according to corporate and dealer circles.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA electric SUV

Image
 Mercedes has embraced an ambitious strategy of electrification and 100% electric models. The EQA is the second electric SUV from Mercedes , after the EQC, and comes to join the EQV minivan. This EQA 250 has a fairly large battery (66.5 kWh capacity), but it seems that consumption is also very high (above 20 kWh / 100 km in all circumstances, and rather around 23 kWh / 100 km). The interior is very similar to a GLA, which is great news, because it means that it is very well finished, with a luxurious look and good ergonomics. The position at the wheel is comfortable, and the front seats are quite spacious, while in the rear the space is a little more tight. In the rear seats the space is a little more tight, but two adults fit perfectly. As for the trunk, it suffers a significant space reduction compared to a front-wheel drive GLA, going from 435 to 340 liters. Regarding regeneration, using the steering wheel paddles it is possible to choose between four different retention le...
