In the article, "Daily caffeine 'protects brain'" by BBC, it's reported that caffeine has been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation explained why. it is mainly due to coffee's blocking the damage cholesterol that inflict on the body, research suggests.

In YBM Exercise, the main purpose of exercises is not for burnng calories. It is for flexibility, heart and lung functions, and for resistance training.  Instead, if you want to lose weight, use YBM Diet and YBM Caloric Restriction protocols.

When I read news such as "Study: Shorter Men More Likely to Be Jealous", and "Being underweight may raise diabetes risk",  I cannot help thinking that these researchers seem to have no topics that could meaningfully contribute to the world. Instead they dream up with topics, spend the money, and use wrong statistical methods. It's like the blind men touching elephants, some say, it's like a large cylinder (for the leg), others say it's like a huge fan (for the ear)....  In sciences, very often, conclusions are drawn without understanding the circumstances.
