Rogério Ceni, record collector [1]!

Sport

São Paulo soccer club's biggest idol [2] is the first goalkeeper [3] in the history of the game to score 100 goals

   Barueri,  March, 27 - Rogério Ceni scored the 100^th goal of his career to give a 2-1 win over arch-rival Corinthians. It was Ceni’s 56^th free kick goal [4] (the others have come from penalties). In 1969 the world stood still [5] to watch Pelé score his one thousandth goal. Decades later, in 2007, another Brazilian, Romário, scored his one thousandth goal, and made the headlines around the world. Now it is time for a goalkeeper to go down in the history of world soccer. By FIFA's reckoning [6], however, Rogério has 98 goals (FIFA does not include two goals he scored in two friendly [7] matches).  Either way [8], Rogério has scored more goals than any other goalkeeper ever. In second place is Chilavert, with 62 goals, but the Paraguayan ended his career several years ago.

Rock 'n roll goalkeeper

The greatest goalkeeper-striker in soccer history holds another record: he has played most games for São Paulo: 965 times. He is very close to reaching a staggering [9] one thousand games played. Ceni was born in Pato Branco (Paraná state), but was raised in Mato Grosso. His career at São Paulo began in 1990, when he was only 17 years old. For many journalists and fans, he is the greatest idol in the history of the club. In his time off, Ceni likes to play guitar and sing. While most players love samba and pagode, Rogério prefers rock 'n roll. One of his best friends is the composer Nando Reis, a former member of the band “Titãs”.  Ceni is married to psychologist Sandra and is the father of twins, Clara and Beatriz. The marriage ceremony was performed by Father Marcelo Rossi.

Brazilians eating more sugar and less fruit

Brazilians eating more sugar and less fruit

An IBGE survey has shown that Brazilians are eating too much sugar and not enough fruit and vegetables 

    Eating rice and beans [1] for lunch was always been a very common habit for millions and millions of Brazilians. However, in recent years Brazilians have been eating less of this traditional dish [2]. Between 2003 and 2009 Brazilians ate 40% less rice and 26% fewer beans. In addition, domestic consumption of soft drinks [3]  rose [4]  by 40% and beer consumption rose by 23%. These are the findings [5] of a study carried out by the IBGE between 2008 and 2009. The result of the study was only released in late December 2010.   The IBGE survey revealed some disturbing [6]  facts about the eating habits of Brazilians. One is that Brazilians are consuming more and more processed food [7]  and less fruit and vegetables than they should. The daily consumption of fruit and vegetables, foods considered to be very healthy, makes up less than 3% of the Brazilian diet. The ideal amount [8]  would be between 9% and 12%, according to nutritionists.

Excess sugar

But the most worrying fact is that Brazilians are consuming more sugar [9]  than they should. Sugar accounts for almost 17% of the calories ingested [10] every day by Brazilians. This includes the sugar added to coffee and fruit juices [11], as well as the sugar found in soft drinks, candy [12], cookies  [13] and various processed foods. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that sugar should not account for more than 10% of our daily calorie intake [14]. Several studies have shown that excess sugar can contribute to obesity and diseases such as diabetes and cancer, among others.
