NOTHING to coffee at.
A study has suggested that
caffeine pills could boost people’s
memory.
The United States study
published in Nature Neuroscience
found that, after testing the
memories of 160 people over
24 hours, those who had taken
caffeine tablets, rather than
placebos, did better on memory
tests, BBC News reported.
However leader of the study
Professor Michael Yassa said the
findings did not mean people
should take lots of caffeine pills,
the publication said.
“Everything in moderation. Our
study suggests that 200mg of
coffee is beneficial to those who
do not regularly ingest caffeine.
“But we also show an inverted
U-shape dose response suggesting
that higher doses may not be as
beneficial.”
IT’S a sign.
The ‘Mile 420’ on Colarado’s
Interstate 70 sign has been stolen
so many times by marijuana
enthusiasts, the state has moved
it slightly and re-named it ‘Mile
419.99’, the Denver Post reported.
‘420’ is a slang reference in
California to marijuana and Yahoo
reported the sign had been stolen
so many times, state officials
weren’t sure of the exact number.
Colorado allowed the sale of
recreational marijuana to those
aged 21 and older on 01 Jan.
JE suis malade.
French company Cityzen
Sciences showcased its sickness
sensing shirt at the Consumer
Electronics Show in Las Vegas
recently.
The shirt was made from “smart
sensing” material that read body
heat, heart rate, motion and
location, the New Zealand Herald
reported.
Data is sent wirelessly to a
smartphone app, which can show
if a wearer is tired, stressed, or
even if a heart attack is coming.
